Excellent DSLR for beginners.
- Pros: This camera has every option that a beginning serious photographer could need, including a very nice 18-55mm lense. Bang for the buck is unparralled.
- Cons: Does not do video recording at any resolution, cannot use the video display in certain picture modes, you must use the view finder. 10.1 MP is low compared to most DSLR camera
- Other Thoughts: I have never owned an SLR camera before and have always had an interest in photography. I wanted a camera that would be easy to learn but have any feature I might want in the future. After weeks of research, most sites recommended this camera for it's ease of use and abundance of features. This camera had more features than any other camera in it's price range. I also considered the Canon XSi, but for $150 more it seemed all you got was an extra 2 MP and a couple features. If you are new to DSLR photography, I would highly reccomend this camera.
Excellent Value and Features
- Pros: The Rebel XS is a superb beginner D-SLR that takes excellent pictures and gets most everything right. It’s a great blend of last year’s XTi and this year’s XSi, with few premium features removed (7 point focus instead of 9) and some added (live-view and self-cleaning sensor). What the XS has in spades is dollar value, superb features, and crisp image quality for the novice and enthusiast photographer. And it’s a Canon!
- Cons: The XS has the latest DIGIC III processor, though not the 14 bit output in the XSi, and this results in a very good but not stellar picture. The lens in this kit is really pretty good and even marginally better than the Nikon D60. The Canon is also more feature laden than the D60, has a slightly better the out of box picture, and is lighter too. Given all the features on the XS, just two years ago this would be considered a top-notch SLR; even at $800-1000. Yet the Canon XS doesn’t do everything as well as the Nikon D60: it has lousy continuous shooting, a cheesy plastic fit/finish, and the $%^&* camera always wants to focus on the closest item and not the center/subject. The Live View is nice but really finicky and tedious to use; it’s really a stretch to even consider it in the same realm as a point and shoot camera. Finally, if you shoot both RAW and fine together, each picture consumes over 15 megapixels; you’ll need at least a 4 meg SD card (256 pics when formatted).
- Other Thoughts: Depending on the price, the XS might be the best absolute camera bargain I’ve ever seen in years. For me it was $199 cheaper than the XSi when I got it. Yet, you’re a semi-pro or can afford it, get the Canon XSi for the extra $150-200. Finally, the processing software is free (but clumsy) and then you can really tweak the RAW pictures if you have the skills and time. It’s a five star camera because all the little niggles listed here aren’t relevant/fair at this price point… And of course New Egg rocks again; ordered on a Monday night and arrived in South Florida on Thursday morning.

Love It
- Pros: I am not a professional photographer but I love to take pictures. I bought this camera and have been very happy with the features it offers and the quality of the pictures I am getting out of it.
- Cons: None so far
- Other Thoughts: I would recommend a nice zoom lens to go with this package. The 18 to 55 that comes with it is a decent lens but I find I need more zoom power.
Great Out Of The Box!!!
- Pros: Great, great, great photos! This camera has everything that I did not have with a point & shoot, but wanted. I was amazed at the indoor photos that look like you actually have great lighting inside the house! Action shots are great! The day after getting this camera I caught two of my kids in mid jump with perfect clarity! I love the fact that this camera has 7 AF points and not 3 like the Nikon D40 & D60. that was in fact one of the top selling points for me because both the D60 & the XS are both great cameras!
- Cons: None so far, but be sure to read up on the camera and take it for a practice run before you doing any important shooting.
- Other Thoughts: When switching from Point & Shoot to the DSLR be sure to read up on your product before you buy. You can often find the actual Owner's Manual online for download. Before buying this Canon, I downloaded both the pocket guide & the entire owner's manual so that I could easily make the transition and it worked!!!
Fantastic Camera! Don't Miss Out!
- Pros: Easy to use, excellent for action shots, and easy to download the pictures to your computer. Every time I use it, I love it even more! Easy to read and understand instruction manual, fantastic editing for pics. I shot some pics in the wrong light (1st day) and the editing tools made them look exactly like they should have.
- Cons: Needs to have a strap to hold the lens cover, other then that, nothing!

This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.
