This was my entry level purchase getting into dSLR cameras.
I could not be more pleased with this camera.
There is a learning curve, even coming from Canon AE-1 film camera.
It is so nice to have a 10.1 MP digital camera!
Make sure you buy a 133X 4 GB Compact Flash card to go with it. It really eats up the memory cards when you take lots of shots. You will take lots of shots!

I did my homework, here it is. After comparing the Rebel XTI with the Powershot G7 I decided to buy the Rebel XTI becuase I wanted a camera, which had great reviews in terms of battery life, compactness, picture quality and durability.
All in All the Rebel XTI is the best digital camera i've ever owned. It has all the above qualities to suit my novice camera needs, offering a professional image, except I will purchase the new Sigma 28mm-200mm lens featuring the optical stabilizer becuase its an all around lens--for close up shots and those farther away. At $899. for the camera and $550 for the Sigma lens this is not a poor man's camera. I saved for it. I figured the amount of money i'll save in film will pay for itself.
Additionally, the G7 is not so bad. In comparance with the Rebel XTI (both Canon digital cameras) at $450 it features good battery life, a lens comparable with the 28mm-200mm all around lens, and a built in stabilizer. Its bulkier than the average digital camera but it picture quality parallels the Rebel XTI.

I bought this camera a couple of months ago and I could not be more satisfied. I have enjoyed photography since I was very young~10 yrs old. Now 35 years later the technology has come a long way and the enjoyment of taking a great shot is attained much easier with the sophistication of a great camera. This camera has many great features that provide quality shots like a pro at the price and simplicity for the enthusiast. I think I will be enjoying this camera for a long time.

I am a die hard cannon fan. I have owned 4 uptil now. I recently decided to upgrade to this camera and I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought the body only since I already had my canon gear. It takes amazing pictures. Along with that i bought the sandisk extreme IV 4 card and extreme reader combo. This card is the fastest card available in the market. You would need it if you want to shoot high quality pictures at lightening speed because it requires a high speed card.

For years I had a Canon Rebel...purchased this new XTI in time for our trip to Hawaii. The automatic functions performed beyond expectations. I took pictures of dolphins using the sports action function...and they are beautiful! Enlarged to 8 X 10, the clarity is amazing. The blues are incredible, the greys on the dolphins - delightful. I plan to take a class to learn to use the manual functions. It is easy to use, has a large viewing area, and works like a dream. I can't wait to see what else this camera can do.
I am also very pleased with Amazon...the camera arrived on time and in perfect condition.

This camera is a great upgrade from the 8 mp Rebel. I bought it for my Father in law and after comparing to the 8mp Rebel, I can see that the larger screen, easy controls and sensor cleaner make it a great camera. I've had the 8 mp Rebel for about 2 years and the Rebel XTi 10.1 mp is a significant upgrade.
I though about ordering the 8mp instead to save a few dollars on a gift, but the newer XTi is well worth the extra dollars over the long hall.
Nice things cost money and the XTi is very nice.

After having owned a Canon D60 (6mp DSLR) for five years, I bought this camera. I couldn't get over how small it was and yet how amazing the photos were and all at a price that makes this camera and awesome deal. When I put my 50mm lens on the body, I have a camera that's not much bigger than most point and shoots yet I have all the power of a DSLR. The only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars was because I have BIG hands so even though I liked the small package it was too small for me and secondly it has no display on the top, only the LCD on the back. If you want to adjust ISO or shutter release setting, you have to use the LCD. Other than that, the pics are crazy sharp and the self cleaning sensor is a nice touch. I recommend this camera to anyone wanting to start out in photography.

A freind of mine has two of these. I use a 30d for my own digital photography, but these little babies are really sweet and inexpensive for what they'll do. And over 10 MP files. I have had the opportunity to play with the camera and it is extremely easy to use and figure out for the most part even without looking at the book, although I wouldn't recommend tossing the manual. If you are familiar with the EOS system you should enjoy this one. It also has dust delete which is a very nice feature. It is not near as fast as the 30d, and doesn't have a spot meter, but it is quite a bit cheaper. Thinking of using it in conjuction or as a backup with the 30d? You'll need to purchase a seperate back up battery as they use a differant battery.
I print my friend's pictures taken with these and I can tell you it makes some very nice pictures. Overall, I'd say WOW.

The picture quality from this camera is amazing!!! The menu structure resembled my other cameras, Canon A70 and SD450, so it was easy to use from the start. The kit lens is great for general photography especially outdoors however I decided to pick up some additional lens that were faster. The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (~$[...]) and Canon 50mm f/1.8 (~$[...]) are inexpensive and worth it for low-light indoor shots.
The continuous shooting is great for sports and the camera is light enough that its not a burden to carry all day. Battery life is also pretty good. I've been able to get 300 shots without having to recharge the battery.
The one thing that takes a little getting used to is the crop factor. You will only notice this if you previously used a 35mm full frame film camera. I have a Minolta STsi as my backup and 28mm on that camera gives me a wider view that 28mm on the Rebel. However a full frame digital SLR is significantly more expensive than the Rebel.

For never using a DSLR before, it only took about 20 minutes to go through the menus and get everything set up. The resolution is amazing. The burst mode is very fast along with the focusing. The 9 point auto focus is really nice to have, yet it sometimes grabs the unintended location. (Can easily be remedied by choosing what points it can use.) I'm using EF lenses off a Rebel film camera and they work just fine. My only dislike is the fact that my nose touches the left side of the screen while looking through the viewfinder. Otherwise, I love it.

I had an old Rebel EOS film camera with many
accessories and autofocus lenses. I bought
just the XTi body with the intent of reusing
my lenses etc. Camera is very high quality,
takes excellent high-res digital photos, but
after trying to take some low-light shots I
realized that I needed an image-stabilization
lens. Not the fault of the camera at all.
It does so much, the only limitations are
really my own knowledge. I haven't yet used
the software that came with the camera...still
using the very good iPhoto that comes with
my MacBook. When I learn more about the
camera, the software that it uses may be
more valuable (for post-processing raw format
images, I guess).

I have tested lower priced cameras and am so glad I waited to purchase this one. It is so easy to use and for my small hands it fits great! I love that there is no shutter delay so I don't miss shots. It may be more camera than I need, but I know I won't out grow it soon.

Review of Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens (Black)
Pros:
1,800 photos taken on 1 battery charge when not using flash!!! Who even comes close to that??
839 photos taken on 1 battery charge using built in flash for 60 of the shots.
Fast accurate focus even in low light even with a long zoom lens
High Image Quality even with kit lens when set at F8 / 28mm
Accurate metering slightly biased towards dark which I like (easily over ridden).
Absolute reliability so far!
Cons:
Slightly small to hold and control buttons on back are a little small. Could be a plus for small hands but I have really large hands.
Thoughts:
I can not begin to tell you how many shots I missed at weddings with my old Konica Minolta Maxuum 5D camera because the auto focus would hunt, especially with a zoom lens indoors.
I borrowed a friends 70 - 200 Canon lens and was amazed how fast this camera responds and is capable of focusing from minimum focus to infinity in what appeared to be less then 1 second!
Speed:
Using a Transcend 266X 8 GB card this new Rebel XTi ROCKS!! My Rebel XTi would in sports mode consistently shoot 30 rapid frames in 10 seconds flat at Large High Quality JPEG before slowing down to store the buffer.
Conclusion:
This is an amazing camera for the price. If you value fast focusing and shooting a lot of photos between battery charges this is the camera for you! I went to the zoo this weekend and kept thinking the battery was going to run dry, it didn't run down until I had taken 1,800 photos!!! I woudl have had to have 3 batteries with me to do that with my old camera.

I think the shutter sound if just fine, not sure why people care about that, actually it would be better if it was stealth quiet for animals photos and sensitive moments, and the 1.6x conversion is no biggy, the dust removal can be shut off so the camera can start up even faster if needed, this wasn't in the spec of speeds. the lens makes that sound of greasy bearings only when focusing and when zooming. all the digital menu design is just fine, you can make shortcuts for the main 4 buttons. like iso or foucs style, etc. what a nice day, ahhh.

The camera body itself is pretty much perfect for the price. I think the big contest in any of these reviews is the included kit lens, which is pretty okay. It's not a L series by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're comparing it to those lenses, may I also suggest a higher-end camera -- this camera kit is meant for beginner forays into dSLR, and you always have to option to just buy the body...
My recommendation is for anyone who is just starting off with dSLRs, this is a great kit to grow from and the lens (while not perfect) will give you a fairly decent normal to light telephoto range. If you've used Canon EF or EF-S lenses and own some already, I would recommend going body-only unless you need this specific range.

My first thought: Because of its compact size, the XTi's buttons are not ergonomically spaced. After just 30 minutes of shooting in various lighting conditions last night, my hands started to cramp. I know this is going to get annoying. HOWEVER, if you are choosing between this camera and a Nikon D80 (which is bigger) and you already have Canon dSLR-compatible accessories like I did, then it makes sense to go with the XTi. If you do not have Canon accessories, then I recommend "test driving" both cameras at your local store before buying one. Otherwise, the XTi is great so far. I'll keep y'all posted.

I ordered this camera without any lens. I had all the lenses from my Canon EOS IIe which is a full frame 35mm film camera. All of the information I have read stated my lenses were compatible with the new camera. Naturally the first thing I did when I received the camera was to try all my various lens and they worked perfectly. I am very happy with my new digital camera and the flexibility it allows me to shoot in various situations.

I've been using the Canon EOS 20D for 3 years and the REBEL XTi/400D for 9months. The 20D has been replaced by the 30D which sells for about $1100.00, whereas the Rebel XTi sells for under $800.00(prices for body only). Many people ask me whether they should go for the 30D or Rebel XTi. I've pretty much switched to my Xit as the standard camera, w/the more expensive 20D as the backup. Here's my review of the Xti and comparisons to the 20D
Camera Size and Handling
The entry level Xti is smaller and lighter than the mid-level 20/30D's. This is an advantage for me, as I'm trying to keep the total weight of my kit as low as possible without sacrificing quality
The Xti has fewer dedicated controls and buttons that the 20/30D's. I expected that this would make it harder to make adjustments(I make very frequent adjustments and never use the camera on Program). However Canon did an excellent design in arranging the buttons and functions on the rear of the camera. While I do miss the famous Canon "rear wheel" which I used to dial in exposure compensation, overall, this new arrangement is just about as easy to use as the higher level cameras.
Screen
The 2.5 inch screen is not only larger but brighter than the screen on the 20D. It's the same size as the screen on the 30D and I can't compare overall brightness. This screen has enhanced the usability of the camera, particularly outdoors. While no LCD screen can render a great image in bright sunlight, I'd say I can now use this screen to get a good sense of what my image looks like in many more outdoor shooting situations than with my older camera.
Dust-Reduction
This is not in the 20 or 30D's. With my 20D I had to use a blower to clean the sensor frequently...or else I'd see spots on my images.(by frequently, I mean after about 4 days of shooting). I have had the Rebel xti for 9 months, shot thousands of frames and have never done a manual cleaning. The ultrasonic vibration system that automatically shakes dust off the sensor when the camera is turned on, really works.
Image quality
While the Xti offers higher resolution compared to the 20/30D (10.2 vs 8.2mp), it's given me some problems with noise especially at 800 iso or higher. Unlike my 20D I will not use this camera at ISO 800. I have also noticed some issues with underexposure compared to my other camera, and the need to dial-in positive exposure compensation, especially when using Canon Speedlight.
I've lived with this issue for a while, and finally called Canon. I have to give Canon credit as the support person spend nearly 20 minutes with me on the phone trying to diagnose the problem and rule out any user error. I've read about this underexposure issue on some Canon user forums. I will send my Rebel in to have the exposure calibration checked.
VERDICT
Despite some issues with the noise at ISO800 and the exposure, I really enjoy using this camera and have taken some great shots with it. Originally I intended for it to be a backup to my 20D, but instead it's become my primary body. Images can be seen on my website.

This is an excellent camera for those who want to pursue photgraphy seriously. [SLR stands for single lens reflex]. If u r just planning to use it as a point and shoot camera [in AUTO mode] plz dont waste ur money. Like all SLR cameras its bulky if u compare with slim-trim point-n-shoot cameras in the market which slide-in easily in ur pocket. There is no real time preview in the LCD at the back so u have to see through the eyepiece for framing the photo. Its actually gives u the image as seen through the lens. Since, all light that enters the camera through the lens gets diverted to the eyepiece via a mirror infront of the sensor, we have no real time preview as no light falls on the sensors. Moreover there is a curtain [shutter] infront of the sensors [CCD type for canon]. Shutter controls the amount of light falling on the sensors. u can reach extremely fast sensor speeds like 1/4000 secs which gives u freezing image of moving objects. For night or astro photography one can keep the shutter open for as long as 30 secs. ISO range for the EOS 400D [rebel xti] is 100-1000, where 100 is the native sensitivity. For night mode one can increase the ISO but the picture is grainier or use flash [which fills the image with light n destroys the whole effect in the photo] or can decrease the sutter speed. At lower shutter speeds camera shake can blur the photo very badly, so one must use a tripod or use an IS [image stabilized] lens. The lens that comes with the camera [18-55 mm lens] is not very good and u cant expect more from a $50-75 lens. The canon has a vertical tilt sensor which rotates the image if u shoot it vertically. The re is a sensor which turns off the LCD in the front when u move ur eyes close to the eye-piece and this is really helpful. Imagine shooting in the night mode with something bright below ur eyes....it would be terrible. The kit aslo includes a battery n a charger esp made for the EOS 400D camera. With fully charged it's sufficient for a full day of active photgraphy.
The camera uses a CF [compact flash] card [normal cameras use SD or SDpro card]. Writing image to the card is fast. The camera takes a while if the card is full, to get ready to trasfer the image. I have used canon A630 and it gets ready very fast to trasfer the images to the computer.
With this camera in continuous shooting mode one can shoot approx 3 images per second which u wont achieve with a normal digital camera. It has a maximum burst [total no. of photos one can shoot in the above mode] of approx 20 when there is no flash and image is small/fine jpeg. With RAW images it would be smaller.
If I compare it with Sony Alpha series, Canon EOS 400D is clearly a winner. Sonys camera doest even look good. Compared to Nikon it has a body that is cheaper [$200-$250]. Nikon has more features that are more subtle and u might not use them. Nikon has one screen at the top of the cmaera when the data for various parameters like shutter speed, white balance, exposure, focus, ISO etc is shown. The LCD at the back is only for image preview. The canon's one LCD at back does it both, and i like that. Furthermore canon has only one dial to control compared to 2 in Nikon. Canon has an extremely good series of lenses too for all kinds of photgraphy.

If you have a Digital Point a shoot camera, this is the way to go into the DSLR cameras. It's the best bang for the buck for you.
If you are a professional photographer you may want to go to the next camera in the canon's DSLR line.
For me an amateur but serious photo enthusiast this has worked great. I use it for family and friends, work related and artistic photos. What it is lacking... Faster speeds above 1/4000 and Higher ISO equivalent sensitivity (1600). But if you do not NEED that you'll love this camera. The battery life is great. The manual says about 500 shots mixed flash and no flash photos. This seems about right. But think about it 500+ shots with one battery! It is great. I did buy a second battery. I recommend you do too, since the battery lasts that long you will be in the road of your third shooting session when it runs out of juice. There you will appreciate the second battery.
Good basic flash. The lens is good. Has no (IS) Image Stabilization but that doesn't seem to be a problem. The good news is that you can later improve the lens. I have shot with a friends Professional Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and it works great. So improve the lens after you have a feel for the one it comes with which is enough for your average photo experience.
The size is big compared with a point and shoot but it is smaller than all the other digital SLRs out there. So it is not a burden to carry it around.
I love this camera. I use a SanDisk SDCFX3-4096-901 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card (Retail Package) memory card. It gives me about 800+ shots in Large/Fine setting.
Hope this was useful for you.

The Digital Rebel is a great, great camera for anyone ready to make the step up from point-and-shoots. It has all the advanced settings you'd ever want, but if you're a novice like me the automatic mode takes better pictures than you probably ever imagined you could produce. It really is that much better than any other digital you've probably ever tried, including the speed.
If you are looking at this camera you are probably also considering the Nikon. I know several people who own Nikons (D50s and 40s), and to me they are a little more complicated to operate, as if they are designed more for the expert crowd.
If you buy the Digital Rebel I would suggest getting the battery grip accessory. It adds a very convenient and comfortable means of holding the camera and it allows you to go literally weeks without charging.

I love it. 16 X 20 prints that look super sharp are possible if you are using a good lens. It is my favorite travel camera now. I would highly reccommend this little machine for those who are moving up in the digi world from the point and shoot cameras. Compared to my Nikon D2x it is a feather weight, but still gives great performance. Toss it over your shoulder, and you won't even know it is there.

This is my first digital SLR and I'm glad I made this camera the first. It's easy to use and fun to learn all the features. The quality of photos are far superior to my previous point-and-shoot 2mp camera. Now that I have this camera, I'm taking a lot more photos and really satisfied with the results. The price is not too high that a first-time buyer is intimidated and not too low that you feel its a cheap starter. The kit lens (18 - 55mm) is okay for basic use but I'm already exploring to purchase a better lens. Overall, the Canon XTI is a great camera especially for digital SLR rookies.

I also have a Cannon S50 point and shoot digital camera but I have a major problem with red-eye. With the Canon Rebel XTI I no longer have a problem with red-eye. If you are thinking about this camera, think no longer, buy it. Buy the package. I thought that my old lenses would work so I bought the body only and had to go out and purchase a lense. It cost me a lot more going that route. I have had people tell me that my pictures look profesional. I thank them and say that they are!
I am happy happy happy with it.

I am a pro wanna be and I am not well versed in technology, or capable of using a complicated camera, but I found this camera to be easy to use, and it produces excellent pictures without pouring over the manual. I have even figured out how to produce some special effects with a little manual reading. So I am very impressed.

This is my first digital SLR. Turns on quickly, shoots multiple shots quickly. Various auto settings work well so I do not need to use the manual functions. Manual focus is a nice thing and easy to turn on or off with just one manual switch. For family use the 18-55mm Canon lens is all I need. Get a good/quick CF card. I like Canon cameras in general, this one continues that tradition. Good solid quality feel, buttons in good location. Fairly easy to learn how to use for anyone with some camera common sense.

Awesome features, but don't buy the package with the "kit lens". The XTi is not an "L-Series Quality" Digital SLR, but with Canon's unlimited choice of superior lenses for the XTi, you will shoot like a pro before you know it. Buy the camera body and decide which lens works best for you. I chose to get the inexpensive, EF 50mm f/1.8 II, for starters (April 2007). If you want a quality lens for under $100, this is a must-have in your arsenal. Sure it has a plastic housing and doesn't look sophisticated, but the optics are the same as the much more expensive 50mm f/1.4 lens! My wife and I have taken over one thousand pix already with this camera & lens since April. We couldn't be happier with the versatility and quality that this camera is capable of producing! Thanks Canon.

You can't go wrong with this camera! The pictures are amazing! I wish I had bought this much sooner. The only thing that held me back was the price, but in the end it's more than well worth it. Just keep in mind that you will have to do a lot of reading and playing around with the camera before you will really be good at using it. The manual it comes with is not much help in teaching you how to use the camera so be sure to buy some other Rebel XTi books to teach you the basics and even some advanced tips. It comes with a neck strap, but you will have to purchase a camera bag and extra battery to make your purchase complete.

so i took delivery of this camera last night and bought a different lens instead of the standard supplied with a zoom to 200. got it home and took an up close photo of my wifes face. if that isn't bad enough i then used the zoom function on the LCD screen and could just see every line pimple and pore on her face. i'd never really noticed before and now i feel i have to divorce her. so this is probably going to be the most expensive gadget i've ever bought! thanks Canon, i'll be sure to send the lawyers fees to you! my previous camera was a sony point and shoot which only took blurred photos. she looks so much better blurred!

I have owned 3 Canons and have always been very impressed with the features and usability.
This camera is no different.
I've upgraded from the ELPH S500 series (a point-and-shoot) because I felt that I'd learned all I needed to with simpler cameras. I purchased this camera because of the positive reviews (like this one) talking about the wonders of the features.
While I love this camera, i'll give you the negative bits that I'm always looking for to give a truly balanced opinion on the features of a product; "I love it, I love it, I love it" doesn't convince me of whether I want to purchase it or not.
In no particular order:
Pros:
-physically: it's small, lightweight and while plastic, still feels solid enough to put into my bag.
-coming down in price, the cost of these DSLRs are really moving down.
-wide assortment of lenses from many manufacturers available
-the pictures are, as everyone says, amazing. the colors are rich, the default settings are pretty good in itself. I've toyed with some of the color and sharpness settings and have had good results.
-easy to use, intuitive, the center "set" button is reprogrammable also for easy use of certain features.
-great for beginners, it's designed for the consumer, not pros, and I really have learned a lot from its simplicity. Menus, instruction books, and others are simple to understand.
-Great for beginning and moving up. This is my plan, as I'm finding that photography is a strong passion of mine now. I had noticed that the higher end cameras, the 5D, etc. all use the same lenses, so eventually I'd like to move up. For right now, this camera is awesome.
Cons:
-the size makes it difficult for my hands, I bought an extended battery grip and it fits much better. However, this makes it a bit heavier.
-rear screen is not recessed. this makes me nervous that it's going to get scratched or cracked somehow. wish they'd spent a little more on plastic and pushed the screen a little deeper into the body.
-the camera shows the settings on the LCD on the back. While I think this is ok, I do feel as though it shortens the battery life. You can change the settings to turn it off, but the shortest is goes is 30 seconds. I wish it had the old digital readout on the older and higher-end cameras. then you could see the settings all the time.
-I do have a dead pixel on my LCD, that bummed me out, but it's not bad.
-This is a wish more than a complaint, but I would like to be able to fold up the mirror and be able to see the LiveView that's available on the Olympus SLR's and the Mark III. I would think that it wouldn't be that hard to do.
-I have worries about APS-C sensors being discontinued, which could mean no future lenses. But since Canon seems to have made a solid consumer-based camera line, I don't think it'll be anytime soon.
Overall, it's a great camera. I recommend you get this or a Nikon over the other brands. Between this and the Nikon, get this. As a consumer-grade, this really is top of the line.

I am an amateur photographer and wanted something as a replacement for my finepix s602. The bundle that came with my XTi was great for almost all kinds of photography. Just add a 2GB card and a UV filter and enjoy. My friends and family love the pictures I take. I definitely recommend it!

This camera takes Good Pictures. just after I got this cam. I go out took some shoots in the street without even reading the manual. and The pictures I took is great. the shadow and highlight is prefect. one thing I don't like about this cam is the grip. It is plastic. It is not comfortable to hold for a long time. And keep in mind, it only have one LCD. Other than that I think this is a great camera.

I had high hopes for this camera. I was impressed with all of the features and ease of use. However, after shooting around 200 pics with nearly all of them being underexposed, I have decided to return the camera. Most of my pictures were underexposed by 2/3 to 1 stop, and yes I know that I can easily use exposure or flash compensation, but after spending nearly $800 I figure the camera should shoot well without me having to do that. The underexposure makes the full auto mode completely useless, therefore none of my family would be able to use the camera. I know some people are getting this issue fixed after having sent their camera off to Canon, but again I don't think I should have to do this. I will move on to a different camera.

I am a huge fan of Canon. I have owned and used the Canon Rebel SLR 35mm for years. I finally took the plunge and bought the Rebel XTi and love it! I went to a pro baseball game last night and took some awesome pictures using my zoom lens. You can't go wrong with the XTi!

I owned a Canon Rebel film SLR that I used well into 2002. Like many others, I got tired of paying for film, so I made the switch to digital, buying a point-and-shoot. It wasn't until I purchased this Rebel SLR in March of 2007 that I realized how much I missed my SLR!
I purchased the body only because I had a lot of Canon gear that was still compatible with the digital SLR. Buying the Canon was therefore, an easy choice for me. However, I did compare the Canon to the Nikon D40 and D80 and found that the Canon compared very favorably, dollar-for-dollar.
The Canon Rebel XTi has a very high-quality feel about it. It is very well made, with rubber grips at all the right contact points, buttons and doors that feel "made for the long run," EXCELLENT bundled software, and fast camera-to-PC transfer times. Unlike a lot of other electronics purchases I've made recently, it comes will full versions of all of its software- no "lite" versions requiring you to pay more for the full version. And again, the software is EXCELLENT. It is much better than the software that came bundled with my Kodak point-and-shoot.
Even if you don't have any Canon lenses in your arsenal, I'd still advise against buying the kit with the lens. The lens included with the kit is not a great lens- it won't disappoint, mind you, but it's not a high-quality optics lens. Most local camera stores are offering Canon-sponsored specials that allow you to buy the body and a separate lens for about the same price as the Camera kit. This would be a much better deal. Note that the only difference between the "Kit" and the "Body Only" is the kit lens. The "Body Only" still includes all of the cables, software, manuals, battery, and charger.
If you're interested in flexing the camera's true muscle by shooting multiple frames at high resolution (I've gotten mine to fire 49 straight frames in about 17 seconds) you'll want to get a top-quality Compact Flash card; the camera does not come with one. Note that there are differences in memory cards with respect to read and write speeds. I purchased the SanDisk Extreme III 4GB card. The Extreme III line is capable of 20MB/sec min write and read speeds. Check other cards carefully- I've tried the slower cards and the camera cannot respond as quickly as you might want with slower cards.
This is an excellent camera- it takes high-quality 10MP JPEG images with excellent color depth, white balance, and clarity, with as little or as much control as you care to specify. You can use it as a novice's point-and-shoot, or a professional's wedding camera, and get excellent results every time.

Like many I hesitated to buy this camera, due in part to the price. However, finally took the plunge because I was going to Italy for a couple of weeks. Well, 400 shots later I can say this is an excellent camera. Light weight, great resolution to the pictures, vivid color saturation and the big view screen cannot be beat. I tried out manual settings, auto settings, pre-programmed settings. The portrait setting seemed to have a tendency to take multiple shots even when the camera was in single shot mode and evening photos were tricky but that may be due to my lack of familiarity with the camera. I used it with the Canon 28-105 USM lens. I have been using digital cameras for about 4 years. This is the best camera I have used so far. The camera was also very popular in Europe.

It has so many features that if you don't use it all the time it's easy to forget some of its features. I love that it fits all my other Canon lenses.

This camera has been getting an endless amount of praise from reviewers for some time now. I've had mine for seven months and couldn't be happier. Adding another perfect review with all the same technicalities would just would be tedious & redundant.
The only thing I will mention is the fact that this camera is ALWAYS compared to the Nikon D80, which in my opinion is unfair. The Canon Digital Rebel XTi should be compared to the Nikon D40x. It seems that whenever Canon comes out with a new camera model there's always a Nikon fanatic ready to undermine it without so much as a second look.
I think it's only fair to point out that when comparing the Canon Digital Rebel XTi to the Nikon D40x the Rebel far out does the opposition. I don't mean to belittle Nikon, but lets keep the fights in the proper weight class.

I agonized over the Canon XT, XTi, 20D, and 30D. I decided that for now I did not need the spot meter on the most expensive models (even though I would love to have it) and that the XT or XTi would suit my needs perfectly. I was all set to buy the XT because at $[...] for the body it is great deal. But then I went to [...] and got my hands on the XTi body. The XTi is a beautiful camera and I really like the 9 point auto focus. But what changed my mind was the screen. I took a few test shots in the store and reviewed them on the brighter 2.5 inch LCD screen. It was then that I realized that I would be disappointed if I bought the XT with its smaller, dimmer LCD. If the XT had the bigger LCD I would buy it in a heart beat, but come on people! It's a digital camera and the whole point is to be able to review the picture you just took and actually be able to see it, even in bright sunlight. So for now I am stuck paying an extra $175 for the bigger screen, because I am not interested in the extra mega pixels. The dust shaking sensor and 9 point auto focus is welcome but not worth $[...]. The money I saved by not buying the 30D will go towards better glass, possibly the EF-S 60mm Macro USM.

This is my first DSLR camera and I have to say I am absolutely delighted with it. I've got to the stage where normal consumer cameras just dont cut it anymore. Sure they have loads of megapixels but they never advertise how bad the quality is. They just keep bragging about how many pixels they shoe-horned into each shot.
So I decided the time was right to do something about it. The photo quality is superb, and there are many options to optimize the picture quality for a given scene. The build quality, feature set and support for the Digital Rebel XTi/EOS 400D are top notch, as well as the battery life. I took about 400 snaps so far (each around 3-5MB) and the battery is still on its first charge. This is everything I'd hoped it would be and more.
If your thinking of entering the world of DSLR cameras, get one of these. Seriously.

It's hard to imagine why anyone would look elsewhere for a DSLR. Unless you have large hands this camera handles very well. Best of all the controls are so easy to understand and they are located in a most useful fashion - easy to get at when needed, often without removing your eye from the viewfinder.
The well lit and large LCD displays all camera setting before exposure and a good image of the captured file.
It comes with just about every imaginable feature so you can start with point and shoot and gradually work you way up to complete creative control.
Hesitate no longer - this camera is the one you really want!

What a difference. I haven't had much time to learn the ins and outs of it but its easy to pick up and use, even if you've never touched it before. I have an older Sigma telephoto/super macro that throws an error code when used outside with this camera. Canon customer support is awesome though and directed me on how to remedy the problem. They are courteous and professional. The customer service alone is enough to keep me with Canon. The flash mechanism rattles a little bit and makes you think somethings broken when you pull it out of the box but if you read the manual you'll find thats normal. LCD screen is awesome. Functions are pretty easy to navigate, especially if you have experience with any of Canon's PowerShots. Looking forward to many years with this camera and the shots it will capture.

The controls are very easy to operate and well placed. The camera is well balanced and easy to use. The power-on time is amazing and the focus is instantaneous. I'm still learning the different modes and capabilities but I'm very happy with the XTi so far. Understand this is not a point-and-shoot sized camera though.

I need to start off by saying that I am new to Digital SLR cameras and lenses, and am by no means an expert. I am comparing this camera to the numerous point and shoot digital cameras I've had in the past three years in my search for a "good camera". The difference in quality between this camera and all of the rest of the cameras I have used is noticeable immediately, both in ease of use, and in end results. It is a pleasure to work with this camera, the menus are well laid out and everything seems well placed. It can be a point and shoot replacement (using one of many automatic presets) or you can do some pretty advanced setups (using manual settings). The images that I am getting out of this camera seem very professional, with very little effort on my part. And with a quick touch up in Adobe Lightroom, I'm turning out very good quality pictures (in my beginner opinion) with very little work required. All in all, a great camera for a beginner like myself. I'd also recommend getting a decent lens (the kit lens is only okay), a lens filter, a tripod, and an image editing program like Adobe Lightroom.

As a father of two infants, I finally got sick of getting them to both look at the camera and smile only to suffer the dreaded shutter-lag of even the best point and shoot cameras. This is what got me to look into DSLRs. After weeks of reading reviews and researching articles, I settled on the XTi, for it's combination of features/price point. I picked it up with the kit lens and an extra battery, plus two 2gig sandisk ultra II cards and the 50mm f1.8 lens. I can't recommend the 50mm lens enough, but I already covered that in it's own review. The kit lens is not nearly as bad as some people have said. Everyone loves to trash it by comparing it to the "L" series lenses, but then that is like saying a new Nissan Maxima is crappy next to a Ferrari. The kit lens gives nice sharpness, vibrant colors, and has a focal range that nicely takes you from a little wide angle to a bit of zoom. Some people have trashed the battery life, but this camera has far exceeded any point and shoot I have ever owned, going for days without a recharge (in the 500 shot range). The camera itself is amazingly easy to use, in fact in full auto mode it is basically the best point and shoot you could ever want. If you are willing to read or learn a little, however, it can do most of the things any professional does on their cameras. You can grow into the hobby with this camera (as I am doing). It is set up to give you all the control and power you are willing to take. Add to that the extensive lineup of lenses and accessories offered by Canon and third party vendors like Sigma, Tamron and Tokina, and this camera has all the versatility, ability, and flexibility to be anything from a great point and shoot for soccer moms to a backup camera for a professional (or first serious camera for a fledgling amateur/pro).You will need a few memory cards, as it is so quick that you will find yourself taking many more shots and keeping the best ones. Nothing about this camera has been a disappointment) I give it my highest possible recommendation.

The pictures I've taken are great, the exposure is always correct and the new display and aditional functions works perfect.
It's really fast on the start up and the buffer allows to take many RAW pictures even on slow Compact Flash cards.

The 18-55mm lens is poorly constructed and not very well. But it's also a cheap starter.

I bought this camera for a 2 week trip oversees (mostly landscape and portrait pictures).
Pros:
- I used it for 2 weeks 600+ pictures without having to re-charge
- This is my first DSLR and I was able to use it without many problems (except I kept forgetting to go from the canned landscape mode to portrait mode to get the flash)
- I got a good kit lens that takes great sharp pictures
Cons:
- The first one I got had a bad pixel in the LCD. Luckily Amazon is great and did an exchange for me. The even sent me the new one before I returned the first one!
Forget what you've read about the body being too small... I didn't use a huge heavy lens or flash, but this camera was fine to use while walking around viewing sites and taking pictures. I could see how it may be a problem if you are holding it for hours on end, but I used the strap. One other piece of advice would be to keep your pocket camera for times when you don't want to carry a camera bag with the DSLR in it. This was a beast to take to dinners and clubs.
Overall seems like a great camera (only had it for a month now). I'm still learning a lot about it.

I'm probably an advanced amateur in skill level. We transitioned from film to digital around 2004 with two Nikon Coolpix cameras and one Canon Elph, all 3-5-megapixel machines, all nice enough but I wanted to get back to an SLR (I have several old Nikon F, Ftn, and F2 film SLRs that I still love), in digital. The technology has improved since our first digitals only a few years ago, now having little or no time lag on start-up, between shots, etc. We have a friend who is a pro who has shot for National Geographic and done some splendid photo books and he recommended the Canon Rebel XT, but by the time I got around to purchasing, the XTi was available and looked better. It is full-featured, takes quality shots, and is ridiculously easy and intuitive to use, a really nice job by Canon. It's bigger than our older, compact digital cameras but a bit smaller and a lot lighter than my venerable Nikon F film SLR's, and the power of the XTi - - range of "film" speeds, frames-per-minute in action mode, scenes settings, battery life, etc., are all very competitive. Auto-focusing is very fast and accurate. I think that digital SLR technology has evolved to a wonderful degree and it's probably tough to find a "bad" camera, but the Canon XTi is certainly an excellent choice. The comprehensive anti-sensor-dust approach is also a nice feature, although the wide zoom ranges on many of the lenses reduces the need and frequency for lens changing, which is fine with me, changing lenses is, at best, a bit awkward under most field conditons.
The built-in flash is, predictably, very limited in application and output, and the neckstrap rings could be better designed and perhaps better located on the body, but other than those minor caveats, I have no complaints and I absolutely love using it, which is as it should be.
I'm sure that there are several other excellent digital SLR's out there, but I'm very happy with the XTi and recommend it.

I bought this camera a few weeks ago, and it's great. I never owned a DSLR before so it's great to be able to manually focus and set the aperture and shutter speed. I bought it primarily for wildlife photography, and I thought I'd get an inexpensive zoom lens and learn to use it before I spent $1000+ on a nice lens. I bought Canon's EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto lens, and I wish I hadn't. The lens is fuzzy when it's wide open and it has bad chromatic aberration. The smaller kit lens seems fine, though, and I use it for everyday shots of friends and family.
The body of the camera is small for a DSLR, and I have big hands so it doesn't fit quite right. It's perfectly workable, though, especially when a big lens is attached so I can grip it. The control for shutter speed is easy to use, and there is a continuous exposure meter that shows how your aperture/ISO speed/shutter speed combination compares to the light levels. It makes it easy to get a general feel for the exposure then set it 1 or 2 stops in either direction if there is snow or dark shadows or whatever.

This is a great camera, loaded with features. Can use it as a fully automatic cameral with great results, or shoot it completely manual with full control over all settings. Intuititive menu and settings. Accurate color. It feels a little small in my big hands, but I paired it with an opteka battery grip and am happy with the heft and feel of it. Still learning about all the features. Brings excitement back to photography.

After a long five months of debating and research, I finally broke down and bought a XTi. I bought it as an artist looking to take photos of my artwork to make prints out of.
The XTi is quite easy to use, with simple menus and a logical interface. But it all is irrelevant compared to whether or not the camera makes good images.
I was amazed at the size of the files and the information contained therein. I shot in RAW, then did minimal processing, learning to save my files to TIFF. The resulting print was quite good, and able to be blown up to 24" x 36"
The one drawback is the poor performance of this camera in low light. Even with 1000 watts of light on my artwork, is wasn't enough for those pieces that were darker. That's where knowing a little about photography helped. I took a second series of photos outside on an overcast day, and my photos turned out perfectly.
there is much more I could say about the camera, as I'm using it for a very specific use. What I will say is that it has proven to be a great investment, one I would heartily recommend to others.

This camera works great. I mainly use it in a studio where it sits on a tripod. The only thing I find wrong with it is that I can't view my model in the large LCD display. I have to look through the small viewfinder which is kind of awkward. Overall, though, very happy with this camera.

I love this camera! I won't get into technical details, but it's sufficient to say this camera is FABULOUS for amateurs. I have 2 friends who use this camera for their business, and both have taken award winning photographs. I have been using this camera for a month, and I love it. I have taken some great pictures with the kit lens, however I will be upgrading my lens at the end of this month. For this price range, you can't go wrong. The large display is wonderful, and the controls are all easy to learn. My best piece of advice to anyone looking to start this hobby, please learn how to use your manual settings! If you're buying this camera and just plan on leaving it on automatic, you won't see optimum results.

I purchased the XTi/400D because I used to have the Rebel XT/350D (lost during divorce) and I was much more familiar with Canon than I was with Nikon. I've made several lighting mistakes with manual setting, but these were my error and due mostly to the high f-stop lens attached.
The new sensor cleaning system is definitely a plus, but it obviously cannot prevent dust during numerous lens changes. Read up carefully and have the right tools before trying to clean the sensor yourself! I tried canned air once and it left fluid residue on the sensor.
The AI Servo is not as good as I hoped for action sequence shots, but at this price for a Canon body, you can't beat it. I've taken several great pictures of my son's indoor and outdoor sports events using fast 1.8 and 2.8 lens. Make sure to get a large and fast CF card (2GB/4GB, 120x or faster) if you're taking sports action shots.
I've found it convenient to use the small XTi body with a cheap 50mm f/1.8 lens when out in the evenings under low light conditions. ISO 1600 on this model does show noise, but it will get those night indoor bar and club shots that you won't get otherwise without using a flash. If you have to use a flash which will cause bad shadows (and draws unwanted attention), try to use the 430EX flash or even better the 580EX. The built in flash is very powerful, but it fires several preflashes to sense distance, color temp, etc. This can really upset the people being photographed or scare away any night life.
The 1.6x crop factor can be a good or bad thing depending on whether you like telephoto or wide angle. Maybe someday I'll have enough money to purchase the new Mark III with only 1.3 crop, or maybe I'll just get the 5D full frame body which isn't as good for sports/action sequences. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this lightweight camera body. Note that I mostly use this with the extra BG-E3 battery grip.
Overall, I am thoroughly happy with the XTi/400D and it truly is a major improvement over the previous XT/350D.

This is my first digital SLR. I've had the S3 for about 8 months now and learned a lot about composition and exposure, so I decided to take the leap and get the SLR.
So far, so good. I like the overall feel of the camera, love the speedy and accurate focusing and of course, it's a beautiful machine.
Miss the image stabilization, and using the LCD to compose the picture I'm taking.
I need to upgrade the lens really quick. The kit lens is NOTHING to write home about. As a matter of fact, the test pics I've taken are so comparable to the S3, It's even scarry! My new 50mm f/1.4 is on it's way.

My parents wanted to give me a camera for a gift. I'm a professional who mostly shoots Fashion, Events, and Portrait throughout Chicago; my camera is my livelehoodand only source of income! Here are some of my thoughts:
FASHION: It works great. I can drop the ISO to 100 and fire off at a decent speed. I've used the XT to get work printed in a handfull of magazines and it looks like the XTi will continue this trend! It's easy to use and I LOVE the larger LCD screen! I need to show the models how they look so they can make adjustments to their poses and they find it easy to hold and use. It is also great to show the Makeup Artist and hairstylist the image through the large LCD screen. I do suggest a battery grip since most portraits tend to be horizontal and it will help eliminate aching in your hand fromreaching over. The resolution is great and I can blow images to 20x30 with ease!
EVENT: It's a bit sketchy at some events. I paired it with the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8 and my 580ex at a CEO breakfast. The glass was not fast enough so I had to bump the ISO to 1600. NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! I was shocked to see so much noise. It was even high at 400 & 800. WOW! I was bothered by this, but then again: I pushed the camera to its limit AND it cost less then $1,000. I cannot complain! One other note: I had someone ask ifI could "turn down the sound of the shutter." HA! Obviously I cannot change the sound of a mirror slapping against metal and plastic, but the camera DOES soundmuch louder then the 30d and 5d I have shot with in the past!
PORTRAIT
Most of the portraits I do are for CEO's, Musicians, and random people who contact me for my services. Most have no idea that the XT and XTi are the cheapest of the Canon line and they do not care: they just want excellent photographs!
TURN ONS:
Large LCD
Compact design
Easy to hold (for people with smaller hands)
High resolution
TURN OFFS:
Noisey at high ISO
Louder then the 30d and others
No clickwheel
Small size (hard to hold when you have larger hands)

I bought this for work so it had to deliver. It has a million options. I read the short description carefully and then the long description carefully. But I'm old and my eyes can't see little bitty print in the dim light, so the settings on the dials are completely useless. My final solution was to download the manual from Canon as a PDF and then bring it up on my PC while I practiced with the camera. This worked. I discovered that the jpeg default settings are not as good as the Elph I have and love, but it doesn't matter. I still have the Elph and I use it at parties.
For the purpose I acquired it, the XTi is perfect. I shoot everything in RAW and downconvert it to jpg with the software Canon provides. Their software is OK, I give it a 7. The one they provide is like Excel, it will do a lot of different things, but with a lot more work than I want to do.
The provided me with the APIs and I'm a coder so I intend to write a decent program. If everyone needed the same thing I do, Canon would have written that program and I wouldn't have to. I will say that the world should settle on one RAW format so Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Google and the rest can write this stuff instead of just Canon and me.
I waited a long time for this camera, but it was worth it. I sent several emails to Canon along the way complaining about rebates. I have never received a rebate in my life, so I won't buy any products that are in a rebate/price spiral.

The camera produces dark pictures and needs manual exposure compensation to correct this. I have used a Canon film SLR camera for years and compared to that, it certainly feels there is something wrong in the metering of this camera. I am returning mine tomorrow.

Bought this right after Christmas, when Santa decided I had been good, but not good enough for this kind of cash.
Let's face it, $800 is serious coin for most of us, and there are hundreds of cheaper cameras out there.
So why plunk down this kind of money for a camera? Well, it depends on who you are, and what you plan to use it for. If you are looking for a point-and-shoot for snapshots, you should probably pass. There are cheaper cameras out there (Canon Powershots, for example) that will give you what you want for less.
However, if you are a semi-serious photographer, this is an extremely nice camera. I'll skip the tech specs, as you can find those elsewhere. Here's what counts for me: the shots are ultra-crisp, and the camera features are phenomenal. There are enough MPs here to do some significant enlargements, without loss of clarity.
I'd rate myself an enthusiastic amateur photographer, and, in all honesty, this is probably too much camera for me. Which is good, as I'll be buying a manual, and working to get everything out of this camera I can. I am using this as an educational tool. I'll experiment with it, and learn more by using it.
In my mind, well worth the price.

Pros:
1.Better hand grip
2.Nice 2.5 screen.
3.Faster burst
4.Solid CF card door.
Neutral:
1. Proactive anti-dust. Haven't used long enough to tell the effectiveness
2. 9-point AF. No apparent improvement of the old 7 point AF. Nikon uses
11 pt AF and I heard its AF is worse than Canon...
Con:
1. Freezes after consecutive flash shots or burst shots without flash. Freezes upto 1 minute. Apparently the old battery is not up for the job.
2. Dark shots more often than XT (350D) - metering problem.
3. 10mp only gets the file larger and uses up CF faster. Not much else.
Bottom line:
I'll wait for the 30D upgrade...

I still have the SD200 I bought a year or two ago, but the XTI is great. I am still learning all the settings. Now I'm starting to play with the RAW and continous shooting modes. I can't wait until nature starts getting it's color back to go shooting in some of the parks around town. A friend of mine has an XT and his photos from last summer look great, I can't imagine what the XTI's will look like.
All I can say is buy THE biggest Memory Card you can find. If you shoot in RAW + L, it eats them alive. I had to wait for my Ultra II 2 gig and ended up using a standard 1 gig for a while. Now I just need to decide if I should shell out for more cards or to get an IS USM lens.
I was suprised when I used up the battery the first time, not because it went fast (it didn't) but because it uses the same as the Elura series Camcorder I have.
I can't say enough about it. Even when I screw up a shot, like when my dog bumps my leg, I can still see great detail. Canon did a great job with this camera and if you register it like I did, they answer even the rookiest of questions quicker than you would expect.
If you are looking for an upgrade from a point and shoot to a SLR, this is for you. If you are already familiar with Canon's Menus and Programs, that's just icing.

Has performed admirably. After only making the step up to a digital SLR now (I'd been holding off as long as I could to get as good a performance as possible), it's lived up to every expections.
Battery life has been great (only charged once in two weeks while travelling with it), and having tried it with 5 different lenses now (from fisheye's to 70-200mm f/2.0), it's been fantastic. You should see the zoom factor with the 70-200mm :)

My new XTi underexposed & I've since learned that others have had this problem. Be aware of this correctable problem. Canon agreed there was an issue with my camera after I sent them a series of photos & histograms. Their service center gave fast service & appear to have corrected the problem. I've long used digital point & shoot cameras (Olympus & Kodak). This is my first SLR. I went to an SLR to get faster shots & hopefully greatly improved low light shots. The XTi certainly solved my need for faster shots. Initial evaluation of night/low light shots show great improvement over the non-SLR cameras. Photos of nightime lighted Christmas trees are not as blurry. Too early in the evaluation (plus I need to upgrade from the kit lens) to say it fully meets my desire for good low light shots.
THe underexposure problem (both indoor & outdoor shots too dark) could be compensated for by increasing exposure by +2/3.

I have been extremely pleased with the Rebel XTi. I'm a relatively new-comer to the SLR world, but have been learning quickly (the XTi helps with the learning process since it is very easy to use). My major impetus in moving into the SLR world was my frustration with the large delay in depressing the shutter and pictures actually being taken with most digital cameras. Now that my children are getting more involved in sports and "moving" activities, I found that my old Sony DSCP93 camera (despite it's very nice pictures), was just not quick enough to capture these moments effectively. (Although I miss being able to just pop it into my pocket...)
The silver body stays nice and cool during the hot days of summer in bright sunlight - which is the only advantage over the black body that I've found (that seems to be why all of the professional Canon-afficianado's prefer those white Canon lenses...). The presets for shooting makes the learning curve a little easier and helps aid in figuring out the intricacies of how to use the advanced features of this camera. Another great part is the large MP of the camera - makes cropping pictures much easier, and still allows for large size photo prints. Overall a great camera.

I've owned my Canon Digital Rebel XTi for almost a month now, and have taken over 1,000 pictures. The camera seems to be holding up well and hasn't developed any problems. It has all the features you would expect in a digital SLR, although it does lack a spot metering system, but it hasn't caused any problems that I couldn't fix by changing somthing else. Is it a fault? Yes, but is it all that important? No, especially if you're a beginner with DSLR's.
I've read a lot of reviews that criticize the kit lens, and although it is certainly less than impressive, it is an excellent beginner's lens, and it's low price helps too. If you're a believer in "the lens makes the picture, not the camera," then I would suggest buying another, higher quality lens either directly from Canon, or a slightly more cost sensitive lens from Sigma or Tamron.
Back to the camera body itself. The XTi is a bit small, especially for those of us with large hands or long fingers, but it's a lot easier to hold than a normal "point and shoot" camera that most casual digital photographers are used to. Even though it's tough to hold at times, I prefer the smaller body, but it's really personal preference (if you get a chance, go out to a store and hold one, just to make sure it's a good fit for you.) If you can't stand the size, you should look at Nikon's entry level DSLR (the D80), or if you're willing to shell out some extra bucks, one of Canon's professional series cameras (the 30D or 5D.)
Canon has updated a few things with the upgrade to their outstanding Digital Rebel XT. The thing that will catch most people's attention first of course is the addition of 2 more megapixels, giving the XTi a total of 10.1. However, the 2 additional megapixels comes at a price. Although Canon increased the amount of overall pixels, the sensor (for those of you that are new to DSLR photography, the sensor takes the place of film in a camera and captures the image digitally) is roughly the same size as the one in the XT. This produces a little more noise, but not enough to notice unless you view the picture at larger than true size. Other changes include the loss of the small indicator LCD above the main LCD on the back, and the increase of the main LCD to 2.5 inches. I think this was an excellent idea. It does slightly decrease battery life because the camera has to keep the large color LCD on all the time, but it is much easier to see all of your picture settings clearly and at the same time. Also, a rubber thumb grip (which was missing entirely in the XT) was placed on the back for a more comfortable hold as well as the addition to a rough plastic/rubber grip in the front of the camera (also missing in the XT). There are other differences as well, including more AF points, Picture Style settings and more. If you want to see the rest of the specifics, go to Canon's website.
So, to sum it up: The XTi is an excellent upgrade to the ever-popular Rebel XT. It is an excellent camera for beginner DSLR photographers and is portable enough for everyday use. The plastic body does feel a bit cheap, but it's the inside that counts (just don't drop it.) For the great price of Canon's Digital Rebel XTi, it won't dissapoint, and may be more than you expected. So if you're serious about buying a entry level digital SLR, I would strongly suggest you purchase Canon's newest edition to their EOS lineup.
Hope this was helpful!

What can I say, I love Canon cameras. Deciding to buy this camera wasn't a big deal because I knew I wanted Canon & I already had Canon lenses that I used with my film camera. It works great & takes beautiful shots. Since I already own a rebel, getting used to the options was not difficult because they are not that different. The display is nice & big. I haven't used the dust cleaner app on it yet because I haven't needed to, but I did play around with other settings & have had a ball. Some people have complained about the images being too dark...I think it may be a preference or just particular settings. Just like any camera, you need to make adjustments to get the image the way you want. At any rate, I really like it, but I'm still not ready to give up my film cameras.

I had XT before purchasing XTi and I thought it is time to upgrade with the new one. Xti has sensor cleaning feature and other nice things. When I got the camera, my test shots turned out a dissapointment. It may be psychologic or real, but I did not like the pictures that came out of the camera. I searched canon user forums and some people reported that the new XTi is slightly different than the original in terms of color and light adjustments. Conclusion: I returned the camera and bought a nice used Canon 20D on eBay with a lot of classic features (and cheaper than XTi).

We bought this camera after we had our first child--and everyone comments on what outstanding pictures it takes. We get such great pictures of our baby, there's just no need to take him to a professional studio! It's very easy to use and we are slowly learning all of the many things the camera actually can do. But, initially, it's as easy as point and shoot for perfect pictures. The lens it comes with is perfect for indoor and closer objects, but in the future we will probably invest in a better lens for zooming on things further away.

I have been waiting three years to buy this camera and all I can say is what a disappointment. My first SLR was a Rebel 2000 so I am very familiar with all the normal features as well as the new features of this camera. I also own a 5MP Canon A95 Power shot which blows the XTi out of the water on almost any indoor shot. The flash is never enough - as one review said, almost all low light (in door) shots will come out dark. The foreground will be OK but there will be no background detail. Contrasting this with my Powershot, the same exact photo will have a nice bright background. I have taken hundreds of comparison shots to a friend of mine's XTi as well as comparing to my Powershot. The "new nine zone" focus does not work well either, I have to use center focus mode and be sure of what it is focusing on. My Rebel 2000 film camera almost never a focus issue. Unfortunately, it seems Canon just didn't put the quality into this one. The only way I have found to get a better picture is to go into manual and push the flash up one stop, but for $800, I shouldn't have to do this. The camera does take good outdoor shots and pictures of the moon etc. and the 1600 film speed is nice.

I have a Canon Eos 35mm (not a Rebel) camera that I have been using for many years and loved it. It was time to move to digital however and I just couldn't justify the cost of the 10mega-pixel EOS, so I opted to "step-down" to the Digital Rebel XTi.
After taking my existing ultrasonic lenses to a local retailer and making sure they'd work on the Rebel XTi, I purchased a "body only" version of the camera, thus saving myself roughly $50 dollars.
I've been using the camera for a few days now, mostly in the house and I'm happy to say that I think I made the right decision. Only a real die-hard photographer will lament the loss of some of the finer configurations available on the full EOS. For me, and for most people, the Rebel XTi has everything you need. It still includes your standard modes: Landscape, Sport, Twilight, etc., and of course you can adjust aperture and all that other stuff that only people who do it as a profession or hobby really understand anyway.
The built-in flash is very powerful, moreso I'd say than what was on my EOS 35mm, and the menu is more intuitive than the Fuji FinePix I had before purchasing this camera.
Additionally, some have noted that any 35mm lens you try to use on the digital will creating some cropping, but I don't really see a difference. I probably would if I could put the two side x side, but my standard wide-angle lens takes in a fair amount of space, and my zoom lens appears fine too. For reference I have the Ultrasonic lenses with the red dot, not the ones with the red dot and white square.
Cons: You can't view what you're taking a picture of in the viewfinder; you have to look through the lens. Also, the carry strap that comes with it is pretty cheap. I'll probably use the one from my EOS.
My particular purchase included everything BUT a CF card, so I got a 2GB one from Transcend ($45), and it works perfectly.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I don't feel like I missed out on any features by not buying the EOS.

I'm terribly excited to get this camera, I've been waiting a long time to purchase it. When I saw it go on sale I couldn't pass up the chance to snag it.... ;) I just wanted to post and say thank you for the reviews, they were quite helpful. I only gave it four stars because I just ordered it last night and I won't get it for another few weeks. I'll have to share a few photos after I've had enough time to play around with it.

I take a lot of pictures and have a great deal of fun doing it. I also spend more time editing the pictures than I do taking them. I love the outdoors and traveling. I take my camera everywhere. So, you can imagine how really excited I was about moving up to an SLR body camera and all the advantages that it could give me. Unfortunately, it turned out that it took every ounce of joy out of taking pictures for me.
For starters, I am too stupid to get it to work well! There is no doubt this is a fine camera. In the hands of someone who knew what they were doing and were willing to spend the time, it will perform very well. However, for a hack like myself, I could only get about 40% of my shot on autopilot to looked really good. I don't know where it was focusing but even with all the help on board it only got part of it right. There where some really outstanding pictures compared to my old camera but I couldn't tell when it was going to work. In low light there was no hope. There was nothing I could do to hold it still enough to get a clear shot. I had it wedged up against a concrete building and low wall trying to take a picture of Austin's skyline at night. I even added my tripod for more support and it still didn't work. Which bring me to another fact of life with these cameras. They are very expensive. The image stabilization cost more than the camera and that is just the start! It looked to me that I would have at least $3,000 invested into this thing to get it to do what I wanted! That is an awful lot of money for very little return when comparing these cameras to the cheaper easier to use models.
Then there is the size of the thing. When you add in all the goodies that go with it you have a massive bundle of stuff that is not only heavy, it is pretty large. I can't see any real reason for all of this given the new advances photography. I spent all my time messing with the camera and lugging stuff around instead of enjoying myself and having fun. I called my boss for advice and he had sold his big SLR and was carrying a little subcompact. I sent it back.
PS The service I got at Amazon was terrific.

This camera has everything that you need, has been easy to learn how to use (it's my first digital camera), and takes great pictures. It's been a lot of fun to play around with. I'm especially interested in low light photography, and have been very impressed with the sharpness and quality of the images even without a tripod. I generally like to set most everything manually, and it's been easy to work with in that regard. Many of the auto features are good enough that it's been slowly tempting me to become more lazy.
Also, the software package that comes with the camera has been easy to use. It makes handling the much larger number of pictures I take now (vs. my old Canon AE-1) a lot easier than I thought it would be.
If you're looking for a capable SLR camera at a good value, I would definitely recommend this one.

I've only had this for a few days but I love it! I upgraded from the Digital Rebel 300d and I had the D30 before that so I was already very familar with how this camera works. The only thing I was disappointed was that it took a different battery, battery grip, and charger from my 300d.
The biggest reason I upgraded was to get the bigger burst capacity but the better focus system, bigger screen, and of course added megapixels definately made it worth every penny of the upgrade. Another thing is that the body is smaller than the 300d which was smaller than the d30. I miss the heft of the d30 but plan to get the battery grip which will add some weight back to it. Its smaller size and lighter weight will probably be much better apreciated after I travel some with it.

If you have had digital PS cameras, you know they take good pics of average scenes, but sometimes they try to be too smart and get in the way of what you really want to achieve. If you are familiar with 35mm SLRs, you really miss the ability to control things.
The new generation of DSLRs are now as good as 35mm for enlargements, and modern storage media (flash cards and hard disks) allow for storage of a lot of images even at maximum size and quality. The Canon is the best value of a very good set of contenders from Nikon and Sony. The sensor in the camera is 24 mm (larger is better -- we will soon see a 35 mm sensor). This camera can use legacy Canon lenses as well as the new EFS (short focus in the back specifically for digital EOS). Because the sensor is not 35mm, you have to multiply lens length by a conversion factor, in this case 1.6, to get 35 mm equivalent (example: a 50mm lens will give the same result as an 80mm on a 35 SLR).
The kit lens is ok but not great. I got a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 which is my primary lens. I may splurge and get one of the Canon "L" series lenses in the near future.
The camera is compatible with iPhoto on the Mac (I have yet to encounter one that is not), and comes with its own image browser and photo editing software. On the Mac, I am using the Canon image browser and iPhoto for picture management, but still prefer Photoshop elements when I need more image manipulation. iPhoto albums are effectively folders that can be loaded into the navigation window of Image Browser.

I have been a film camera buff all my life. I have looked at digital cameras for the past several years but was waiting on the features that I have in my film SLR's. This was reasonably priced and pretty full featured (lacking only in spot metering). I gave it a try. I am well satisfied with it. I have shot several thousand images and find the images more than satisfactory, the camera easy to use and am becoming a digital convert.

I love the camera but have only been using the automatic focus mode and wish you could force the flash in this mode but you can't. Sometimes pictures of baby come out dark b/c the automatic flash doesn't go off. I guess I need to learn how to use the manual functions so I can force the flash myself. Automatic just seems easier when quickly trying to capture the brief moment when she is smiling and looking at me (with her eyes) open all at the same time!
->Sale Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens (Silver)
I bought this Canon because I have lenses from a Canon Rebel SLR which is a camera I still love. The lenses work great with this new digital. I do a lot of low light photograpy and the low light exposures come out very clean.
I am not a professional photgrapher and the manual has been very helpful in introducing all of the state of the art digital features that this camera offers. I also like the ease offered connecting the camera to my mac.

I've been using the camera for about two month now. It's a decent buy although you might want to consider the body only and get a better lens. I spent the first couple of weeks struggling with the kit lens. It might not have anything to do with the kit lens but I did get a lot better pictures with Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens. One problem I'm having is the 9-point AF. Canon may think it a good feature, quite often it focuses on the wrong thing. And even it focuses on the "right" thing, in most cases the image is not sharp. So I use the single point focus most of the time.
