Surprisingly durable, great quality Amateur SLR

I owned my Rebel 2000 for about 3 years before it was finally stolen. It was recommended as an introductory camera by a professional photographer friend of mine. The camera worked amazingly in all conditions. It was very versatile and allowed me to customize any of the settings I wanted as well as performing automatically any or all functions I chose. The batteries would last up to a year, but the amazing thing about the camera was its durability. It indadvertantly took a "bath" in Lake Powell in Utah, and after drying it out and replacing the batteries it worked good as new. The only downpoint was a spot on the inside of the lens that I could not get out. I could have replaced the lens, but even with the spot, I guess from it being so close to the mirrors, it didn't even show up on the pictures. A year and a half later it was in a torrential rainstorm on a boat in the Florida Keys. Just dried it out, replaced the batteries, and good as new. I have taken it camping, hiking, sailing, from Florida to Alaska and everywhere in between - always phenomenal pictures. I am looking to buy another to replace my old one.

Lightweight!

So much better than the Rebel X! It it lightweight, takes fabulous pictures, and looks good to boot! Having used my mom's Rebel X for years, I finally bought the 2000 in September of 2002. I love the fact of having it! In the bag, it doesn't break my shoulders like the X did, and takes beautiful photos. I am into SLR, however, my first digital will be a Minolta DiMage 7i (non-SLR). I *will* be keeping this one, though, for the long distance shots with the other lense I have for it and teleconverter. Worth having for anybody!

Canon EOS Rebel

I've owned this camera for a while. I love mine. It's easy to use, the autofocus is accurate, and the metering is supurb. It's fast if you want to shoot action shots like at a race or rodeo.

I decided to rate this camera when it popped up in my "Gold Box" offers.

Very good pics for the enthusiastic amateur

With a new baby on the way, I decided it was time to buy a serious camera, and this one seemed to offer the best combination of reasonable price, point-and-shoot functionality, with options for more serious picture taking. I have taken some extraordinary pictures with the Rebel, and I'm quite pleased with it overall, with the following complaints: (1) It's not as friendly a point-and-shoot camera as I had hoped, mainly because its body design is meant to accommodate interchangeable lenses and lots of shooting features. I'm now buying another compact camera for my wife to use because she doesn't feel like lugging this one around when taking the kid to play. (2) The auto-focus is not as reliable as I'd like, particularly in low light or when the subject gets off-center. There is a selectable "focus zone" system, but it takes time to set up and is useless for candid shooting. Plus, bcause there's no focus guide in the viewfinder, switching to manual and hoping you'll have better luck than the camera is a nearly pointless exercise.

That being said, this camera does some great stuff. I took pics at my brother's outdoor wedding that rivaled, and in many cases turned out better, than the professional photographer's work. The few limitations I have found could hardly be remedied in any other camera at this price.

Good First Camera and More

This is my first time with a film camera. When I started needing a camera, they had invented the relatively inexpensive digital camera. But there were things that a digital camera lacks, for one, quality printed photos for sharing with friends and family.

I too got "suckered" in by Amazon with this camera being offered in my Gold Box. ;) Got to love that implulse buying. But after having it for a couple of days and getting my first roll of film back, I see that it's a great camera.

The sharpness of close-up shots is really good, and I LOVE the auto-focus feature. It's good for when you're taking pictures of wildlife, and they don't hold their position forever waiting for you to take the picture. I also really like the pop-up flash and auto-light metering. It makes it really nice, not having to think if you have enough light for the picture to turn out right.

All in all, it's been a good camera so far. I recommend it to anyone looking for a beginner SLR 35mm camera. It's easy to use, lightweight, and it takes pretty good pictures.
