Summary: Canon Rebel 2000
Review: After many years with a point and shoot I was ready for something more challenging. I have taken this camera everywhere. It's gone cross-country, parties, close-ups (flowers) and generic people pictures and everything comes out great. It's a great transition camera and gives you lots of room to grow. You can have it work as a point and shoot and it will do basically everything for you, or you can use the dial and it will adjust for close-ups such as flowers or distance suchs as mountains, etc. It also takes a beating, I've unfortunately dropped and banged it a few times and is still ticking...with no problems. Basically, this camera is easy to use, takes awesome pictures and gives you plenty of room to grow. I found a uv lens is a great add-on and helps protect the lens. The 70-300 ultrasonic lens is also another great add-on. This is one of the best toys I've ever bought.

Summary: An excellent camera
Review: I like to travel and take pictures everywhere I go. I'm not a professional photographer. I brought this camera a year ago. I have been taking picutres with it for a wedding, for trips to Europe and Asia. I like it a lot and definatelly recommand it. I only use the auto functions and they are great. The best feature is the sports/highspeed setting on the dial. I took pictures of landscape while driving through Europe and Asia on bumpy roads and the pictures still came out very nice. All my friends were very impressive with the pictures taken with this camera.

The camera is very easy to use, and film loading only takes a few seconds, very fast and easy. The batteries last for a long time. I took over 40 rolls of film and the batteries are still good. The pictures taken with the Rebel 2000 are much better than the point and shot Pentax that I have. I brought 3 filters when I brought the camera. The filters are only [money] for 3 and they are worth it for beginers like myself who would scrach the lense easily. I droped the filter once while I was rushing on a trip. But the filter didn't even break. I was glad that it was the filter that I dropped, not the lense.

The lense is 28-80mm. It's sufficient for close range scenic pictures. But if you want to take picture of a distant, you'll need a more powerful zoom lense than the 80mm. The Rebel 2000 weights much less than other SLRs, it's still a lot heavier than the point and shot camera. It does't fit into a pocketbook or small handbag. I had to buy a bigger shouder bag to carry the camera for traveling. For the quality of the camera, it's worth the extra weight and size. It's a great camera for beginner because the auto settings are wonderful.

Summary: Cannon Rebel 2000 ROX!!
Review: I just got a Rebel 2000 for my birthday, and it is really awesome! It has sooooo many cool features that maost cameras don't have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WOW !
Review: I know very little about taking pitures, granted I understand "how" to, but doing it is a total different thing. This Camera is VERY good. Manual or Auto, you control all over it. It is idiot proof, or you can take control of every aspect.

Like I said, I am new at all of this, but if your a beginner like myself you cann't go wrong with this camera. This was the Camera that was recommended to me over and over again. 500.00 has got me up and going ( that is with film, tripod, extra batteries, filter, camera etc. )

It WOULD have gotten 5 stars, but that manual, lol kinda a hard read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun and great step up from a point and shoot
Review: I received this for Christmas and quickly burned through 4 rolls of film. It is easy to use - the manual and auto features are great for the professional wannabe. I have some trouble getting the pictures to come out natural looking, though. I think it is more a function of my lack of technical photographic knowledge. I am looking forward to the Tiffen polarizing lense I ordered from Amazon to help me in that area. Overall a good camera that can grow with you.

Summary: Cannon 2000 Rebel best for the price...
Review: I have just recently perchased the Rebel 2000. I did much research before buying it and also considered the other big names. For the price this camera is by far the best. It can be easy to use or 100% manual if u want. I am also about to buy the Speedlight 220EX, Battery Pack BP-20 and a 75-300 Cannon lens.

Summary: Great Camera for Beginners and Ametures
Review: I just bought the Rebel 2000 4 days ago and i'm very impressed with the weight and design. All the functions are in places that are easiest to reach without taking your eye off the view finder. The 7-point focus system is great, you can even change the focusing point to suit your style. Another feature that i didn't know came with this camera was the multiple exposure setting, which i played around with for hours. Also, the dial on the left side of the camera has preset settings for people who just want to use the camera for snapshot pictures.

The lens on this camera was satisfactory. Its not the greatest, but it suits my needs until i buy more lenses.

Another great feature is the built in flash. In the beinner mode on the camera the flash will always pop up when there is not enough light or the subject is backlit. In the creative zone on the camera, the flash is totally in your control, you can change the sync to whatever you want.

When felt how light the camera was i immediately thought that i would break it within a week, but i thought for a couple more minutes and realized that i wouldn't be throwing my camera around or abusing it in any way. The only way i could break the camera would be to drop it from high up or throw it against a wall or something like that, but almost any camera would break like that, so i sacrificed extra strength for a light wieght body.

When i saw that the camera only took those small 3v lithium batteries i thought i was going to be changing the batteries every couple of hours, but i've had the same batteries in the camera for 3 days now and they aren't even running low yet. Its also nice that you can put a battery pack on if you wish to spend the extra money for it.

Even though this camera has a lot of preset and automatic settings, it can be used totally manual if you want. I would recommend this camera to beginners and ameture/semi-pro's or for those people who wish to have a hobby.

Summary: Great camera
Review: This camera is very similar in features to the Minolta STSI, in about the same price range, but I was still impressed enough with it to make a few comments. One thing the STSI offers that the Canon doesn't is predictive autofocus. This can be quite useful when doing action shots. It also offers a panorama mode, which the Canon doesn't offer. I've enjoyed using this mode quite a bit on my little Fuji Tiara APS camera. Both cameras have similar F ratios for the lens and both have 1/2000th of a sec top shutter speeds. Two things the Canon offers that are nice are the 7 selectable autofocus points, which some advanced users might find useful, and depth-of-field preview. Even the Elan II doesn't offer the latter capability. One last thing to be aware of is that the Minolta camera will usually be offered with a 3rd party lens. If you want a Minolta lens you'll need to pay quite a bit more for it. However, the Canon comes with a Canon lens but doesn't cost any more. All in all, this is a pretty feature-packed camera at an attractive price, which should serve the needs of the vast majority of photo buffs.

Summary: Excellent results!
Review: I am an amateur seeking to learn photography but at the same time don't want a machine which needs tuning every time I take a photograph. Rebel 2000 fits the requirement, right from manualy tuning everything to point and shoot. And amazing factor is the result, quality of photographs! they are just awesome..
