Summary: Perfect Family Camera
Review: After having your basic point-and-shoot camera, I decided to upgrade. This camera is perfect for both types of photographers. The autofocus mode has been most helpful during critical, split second, picture taking moments (when your newborn smiles, or your brother runs by you in the NYC marathon)! The manual focus mode is fun to have when you have time to play around and learn. There are many different modes to also play with on the camera. The camera itself is very light weight, easy to hold, and compact. Best of all ... the pictures from this camera have all been crystal clear.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Getting old
Review: When I first bought this camera about a year ago I had no clue what I was doing. But the manual is fairly good at explaining how this camera worked, and you get accustomed to the way it functions fast and easy. After only a few months I was enjoying the creative freedom that you don't get in regular snap shot cameras, and the pictures were great.
But now I find myself dreaming about buying a digital EOS.
Film developing takes way too long and no matter how good you are you will always manage to screw up on a picture, so instead of being able to see your mistake right away on the LCD and correct it right away you have to wait for days to get your pictures back. Also regular film developing is much more expensive then digital printing.

So what is the verdict? With its price dropping so low it would be a good buy for a person interested in becoming more creative and serious about their work but has money limits. But if you are really, really serious you should most definably invest in a digital EOS camera, it's fairly expensive but it will more then pay for itself in the long run.

Summary: The little camera that could
Review: The EOS is the most versatile photographic tool on the market for the price. It is lightweight yet built well. The wonderful and justifiably famous EOS lens system is arguably the world's best. They are at least equal to Nikor lenses. Perhaps Nikon bodies and systems are better, but they are also considerably more costly.

While hesitating to take some of the more expensive cameras into rough locations, the Rebel is not so expensive as to be irreplaceable.

The automatic settings are often enough, but full manual modes give greater control, including automatic bracketing.

While digital photography is rapidly approaching resolutions on a par with emulsion photography, with 6 megapixel cameras available, this little camera can still outperform most digital SLR's hands down. Whats more, the EOS lens system is common to the Canon D60 and will remain part of their digital EOS SLR line up. Never settle for aftermarket lenses, insist on Canon lenses.

It will be a long time before I willingly part with my little Canon Rebel 2000 camera.

Summary: EOS Models
Review: This is probably good. Unlike the EOS66 which has a problem when used indoors in taking pictures. Before buying a camera, make sure you know well the brand. Inquire on the nearest Repair/Service shop near you. The nearest store near you. Customer support should be in a high list. So if your going to buy a CANON, make sure they can be approached when you have queries and needed help. I think they need to improve on this department. Even how great the camera is, but you can't contact them for support, its like a bad investment. Don't let your hard earned money go to waste. Be carefull. Be very carefull...

Summary: Excellent camera wed with a cheap low quality consumer zoom
Review: This is an excellent camera body except the lousy zoom lens. This kit lens(28-80mm zoom lens) produced worse pictures than those taken with a simple point and shoot. I was disappointed with the results using this zoom lens. I bought the kit thinking that the quality of the lens isn't this bad. Don't do commit this mistake.

Ever since I bought Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, I use the kit lens as a paper weight. Why? I don't want to sell this cheap zoom on eBay since the buyer will curse me forever! So, do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY THIS KIT. Instead, buy the body with 50mm f/1.8 lens and be prepared to be amazed by the quality of pictures (in terms of color rendition, sharpness and contrast) it produces! Don't take a word for it, test it yourself. If you really want to buy a zoom, then save some bucks and go for a better zoom like Canon 28-105mm USM, you will be lot more happier(BTW, my friend has this zoom). I will be upgrading to the USM zoom lens next year.

In a nutshell, if you are not worried about the picture quality, then only buy this kit. Otherwise, go for the body with any of the lenses mentioned above.

Wondering why I gave 4 stars? Because, I love the camera body which offers lots of advanced features and produces professional quality pictures with a right lens.

Summary: Great product for the price
Review: Real easy to use and takes very good pictures!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy to use yet Sophisticated camera
Review: I've had it for about 6 months. It's easy to take pictures using just the programmed settings and once I've learned a little more, it's not that difficult to use the manual settings. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that the accessories (such as remote cable) are more [costly] that the [other] for example.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ease of use makes this camera a winner!!!
Review: The Canon EOS Rebel is one of the easiest to use cameras I have ever owned. The Automatic settings add functionality to an extremely versatile camera. Do you like to take portraits as well as sports or action shots without having to change cameras?
If so, this is the camera for you. It is light and easy to store and can be carried for long periods of time without being bulky.
I love it!!

Summary: Nice camera, but not a significnt improvement over P & S.
Review: I am not an expert on photography. I just wanted to buy the best camera I could afford. So, I bought this Cancon Rebel 2000 on sale at a local electronics store over 2 years ago. Well, the pictures I am getting are good pictures, but not exceptional. My friends owns a P&S camera that he bought for less than 100 dollars and I cannot distinguish his pictures from mine. This camera although light for SLR, is still bulky and rather heavy. I would recommend buying a good Point & Shoot camera that is light and small, and will produce pictures of pretty much the same quality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kit comes complete
Review: I purchased the Canon Rebel 2000 because my budding photography interest had outgrown my point and shoot camera. The Canon Rebel 2000 is easy to operate from the first day you get it. It lets you be a point and shoot user with a smart camera or a smart photographer with control over the manual settings. Since other reviews of this product have focused on the many fine features on this camera, I wanted to mention the one thing that I had not seen printed about this product. The Canon Rebel 2000 Kit comes with a strap and 2 lithium batteries to get you started. Since I tend to think ahead, I ordered the professional strap recommended for this camera and 2 batteries, and discovered on its arrival that the kit comes with both. I like the professional strap better then the one it came with. The one it comes with is wide, navy blue with a red stripe, and has "Canon EOS" printed on it. The professional one is narrower, black (matching the camera color better)and has clips on it to detach the strap from the camera without removing the loops attaching it to the camera body. Although purchasing the extra strap and batteries were a happy misunderstanding in ordering for me, neither are immediate necessary purchases to use your new camera. The kit comes with everything you need, except the film, to use your camera the first day it arrives.
