Product Description

Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series -- a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: Canon's latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects.
++PLUS++ 8GB Deluxe Accessory Kit: 8 Gigabyte SDHC Secure Digital Memory Card - Secure Digital USB Card Reader - Universal Memory Card Wallet - Pack of LCD Screen Protectors - Spare LP-E5 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Replacement Battery Pack - Well Protective SLR Camera Gadget Bag w/Pockets & Strap - Full Size 59" Tripod W/Case - 5pc Deluxe Lens Care & Cleaning Kit - BONUS!!

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens + 8GB Deluxe Accessory Kit (Electronics)

I'm surprised on how much stuff I got for the amount of money I paid. The Camera was in great shape and received the whole package. VERY convenient for a busy person so I don't have to go to the store and buy each item needed separately.

Although, I have a few things that I am very disappointed about:
=The Digital Camera Cleaning kit: The lens cleaning fluid spilled and the cleaning kit box was soaking wet when I got it. Good thing it didn't spill all over the contents of the package.
-The tripod box has dents and cracks on it. It looked like someone used their nail and scratched it open...
-The tripod itself looks old and used. The roller that brings up the pole would lock up and looks like it is about to break. The pole is shaky and has stains on it. Overall, I am very disappointed about the tripod because it is very unstable.

In the end, I would say my purchase is worth it. Just a few minor problems that downgraded my views about the seller.

Great DSLR. I believe that you get more than you pay for with this camera. I did tons of research before making this purchase. A big deciding factor with this camera was the live view option that it has. I'm just starting out in the photography business, and this camera is perfect for me at this point. Battery life is fantastic. Clarity is exceptional. Camera isn't too heavy My only suggestion would be that if you buy a DSLR kit, purchase a seperate camera bag that is decent. The camera bag that came with this kit is already falling apart.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Ace Photo, December 7, 2010

Beware. I purchased a Canon Rebel xs with a package kit from Ace Photo through Amazon. Ace Photo packed several items in a larger box and I was glad to see the box arrived quickly and UPS did not damage it. When I opened the large box, I found that the box my Canon camera and lens came in was crushed, which means an employee at Ace Photo packed and sent out a camera in a smashed box, that may be damaged. This is a gift as well and the box looks terrible. I like to use companies through Amazon believing there will be good quality control but I am disappointed that Amazon associates with a company that can send out an expensive camera in a box in this condition.I will not be using Ace Photo in the future.
