Canon Digital Rebel / EOS-300D Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm Lens

Pros: Ease of use, unbelievably great quality photos.
Cons: No usb cable included, need of a Compact Flash card reader.

We got the Canon Digital Rebel EOS 6.3 Megapixel camera as a gift. we didn't know much about digital photography, but this camera makes it VERY easy.

One does not need to be a good photographer to take great pictures with this camera. Being only our family's second digital camera, I don't think we will be buying another one for a long time.

Pros: Easy to use. Looks and feels like a real SLR
Cons: Malfunctioned after only 3 years of regular normal use. Very heavy compared to new cameras.

I bought mine about 3 years ago and have absolutely loved it until recently. Great entry level SLR digital camera. It came with a lens. It's simple to use and has several different picture taking mode. The download software is also outstanding. Canon makes a solid product. I was also able to use my old SLR lens' which was a factor in buying it.

Last month, I started getting error messages after only taking one or two messages. I went on the Internet and discovered what I thought was a self fix-it solution, but it didn't last more than a day. I took it to an authorized repair shop and was given the bad news: $200 MINIMUM just two fix a shutter problem. I'm not going to have it fixed given the fact digital cameras are cheaper and lighter. I plan on getting the new Canon Digital Rebel XT. I think it's disappointing to only get 3 years out of a product I paid over $900. The camera was never dropped or abused.

Pros: Clear, low noise, battery life, easy to use, great manual focus, Included lens
Cons: Wish the included lens was a higher zoom (maybe 300mm), some over exposed pictures

I just got this camera about a week ago. So far I am very pleased. This is my first DSLR. The things that impress me are, Very little shutter lag (virtually none as compared to digital compacts), Speed of auto focus, ease of manual focus, Long battery life, and excellent vibrant pictures with true saturated colors, and almost no digital noise. Below are some pictures I have taken with this camera as well as three or four digital compacts I have owned.

Pros: Works with existing EOS lenses and 1.5 magnification with no light loss for telephoto lenses.
Cons: Fragile body, get a better camera, D20 or save 100s buy a point and shoot.

This camera does some cool things like takes my eos lenses and can fire shots almost as fast as my film slr. It's body is fragile and for some reason the photos appear duller and less sharp than my $200 Canon A400. My 540EZ flash only works on manual even tho it is a ttl flash. Download speeds to the computer thru usb 1.0 could be much faster with camera that have usb 2.0. This camera is much to expensive for the minor feature upgrade you get from a simple and much cheaper point and shoot camera. For some reason the blacks tend to really blotch up in shadow areas and I have not found a way to clean that up yet. I want clean, crisp shadows for professional work and hope the D20 has greatly improved this low light NOISE.

Pros: Incredible image quality, ease of use, price for performance delivered.
Cons: Err99 and non-existant customer service. NEVER AGAIN.

I am a lifelong Canon user who spent the big bucks for a new Canon Rebel XT digital. I have had numerous failures with the now infamous error 99. Canon was NO help and refused to do anything about it and the camera store told me to not use non-canon lenses. OK. I am using the Canon lens that came with the camera. Bloody awful customer support and I refuse to ever be taken again by this poor excuse for a company. I am out over $800. You doubt me? Just do a google search on "err99 Canon rebel" and see the pages and pages of this problem.

Pros: OUTSTANDING, Sports Illustrated quality photos.
Cons: Not as portable as the smaller point and shoot cameras.

I will not waste a lot of bandwidth since this camera has already been reviewed 86 times, but I do want to say this is one awesome camera. I bought this for my wife, who is an amateur photographer, but loves taking pictures. She and I both have used this camera quite a bit, mainly with a 300mm zoom lens attached to take pictures of our teen age son playing soccer. It is quite impressive to come home with Sports Illustrated quality pictures of a high school soccer game!! We actually bought a new and better photo printer to do the pics taken by this camera justice. This has to be one of the finest cameras available.

Pros: Fast, Powerful, SLR, Clear images, interchangable lenses, Canon Quality
Cons: A little on the expensive side

This is an amazing camera. Very similar to the 10-D but almost half the price. Same quality.

The pictures are sharp, with 6 megapixels.

I'm not crazy about the lens that came with the camera, but I added on a new lens, and I am in love with this camera.

Pros: value, great photos, interchangeable lens, feel, weight, etc....
Cons: 18-35 lens doesn't zoom in as close as I would like

My wife and I bought this camera about 1 year ago. We love it as it produces great pictures and is easy to operate!

Pros: Light, quick and great photos (compared to my old 3MP regular digital camera)
Cons: The buying experience

I researched this product heavily online and concluded it was the best SLR for the money. Happy I bought it - it's great! Light, great pics, easily to handle.

One thing to note is that alot of websites are using fraudulent practices in selling it. I originally bought it from radioactivedeals.com for $599 with the lens. A few days after ordering it someone from radioactivedeals.com called me and said that it does not come with a battery or charger and he would sell me them for and extra $100 or so. I called Canon and they said that the camera comes with those and that radioactivedeals.com must have opened the box and is playing games. Alot of those sites (like A&M Photo World & Digital Liquidators) do the same thing to make the price look better and then they sell you an opened (maybe used?) product. It really costs $900+! Beware!

Pros: Picture Quality
Cons: None

This camera continues to amaze me with its crystal clear pictures - even when blown up to 8 X 10.

Pros: Great picture quality, fits my hand like a glove (unlike the tiny 350D)
Cons: flimsy battery door, small buffer,

Aside from the disappointment I had when I opened the box on Christmas morning to find there was no memory card included and that I would have to wait until the next day to use it, this camera has been everything I hoped it could be. I love the wide range of ISOs (100-1600), the different shooting parameters (some are easier to edit, others look better right off the camera), the different White Balances to compensate for different types of light, the compatibility with the EOS lenses I already had, the ability to connect to a television for an instant slide show, and so on...

The only things I dislike about this camera are that the door to the battery housing seems flimsy and I'm always worried I'm going to snap it off and that the buffer only holds 4 frames. This means that in rapid shooting, after you take the first four frames, you have to wait about 1.5 seconds in between each frame. Another thing is that

Pros: Quick response & excellent image quality
Cons: No mini-file under 1.57 megapixels and power-saver shuts power off a little too soon

After shooting my son's football game with the 300D, I can honestly say there is NO shutter lag, it fires rapidly in 4 shot bursts and the resolution is AWESOME. Only changes I would make:1)Offer a web-friendly mini-file setting (640x480 or 800x600) and 2) Increase the automatic power-saver (shuts down too soon) mode from 1 minute to 3 or 5 minutes. I'm using my Tamron 28-300mmAF from my 35mm EOS.

Pros: The pictures speak for themselves it is a great camera
Cons: i don't like converting color pics to black & white- they're gray

This camera has to be one of the best investments i have made. I bought this camera 3 years ago when it first came out. I bought the camera which came with the lens, a bag, and extra battery, a UV filter and a digital card and spent about $1400! It seems like a lot of money but you get what you pay for! I used the rebel 2000 for years and loved it and still use it for black and white pictures. The digital rebel is not for everyone. It takes a lot of time and practice getting used to the controls. but once you have mastered it you will get a lot of compliments on your photos.

Pros: easy to use, great results
Cons: i cant put it down

i just got my camera a week ago, and i cant put it down. i take it everywhere and take pictures of everything. this camera is simple to use and gives you great results. i highly recommend it.

Pros: Good entry level SLR
Cons: Not a good camera for night/flash photography

Bought this camera in Aug for $822 (cheapest price that time). Overall it is a good camera for someone migrating from digital point-n-shoot to SLR, but definitely has lot of window for improvement. If you can spent a little extra $$, i would definitely recommend going to Nikon.

The serious problem I had was with flash photography. I find the automatic exposure totally inconsistent. At least 1 out of 3 flash photos i have taken have come under exposed - i just don't understand this because how can one go wrong when shooting someone who is just 4 feet away from you, and that too in the "P" mode? In all those occasions, i was able to get a very good picture with my Sony point-n-shoot.

Also, in low light auto exposure has difficulty in locking to object.
