I bought this camera to start a small photography business, and was blown away by how easy it was to take a good photo! Not to mention the 12mp capture every little detail. I truly believe that the ability to take a great picture is not an easy thing to do. But with the cannon rebel its actually hard to take a bad photo! I would reccomend this camera to anyone who wants amazing pictures for an outstanding price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Camera Good, Zoom Lens bad., April 12, 2009

The camera is nice. But the Zoom Lens does not have image stabilization and for a zoom lens it would be nice. (I know I know, why not just use a tripod :)

I have been a semi-pro photographer for a while now. I bought this kit thinking it would be a good way to get all supplies with one click of the button. Bottom line, the body is good but the lens aren't up to par. The tripod, camera bag, memory card are all okay too but I think you'd do better buying it all seperate. The two lens you get with this kit don't do justice to the camera's ability to take good photos. I would suggest the XSI body and a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens that runs just under $500 or a Canon 28-135mm lens also in that price range. Both take waaaay better photos than the two lens that come with this kit. And another thing, if you buy a kit, make sure you save all packaging in mint condition if after 10 days or so of playing around you aren't satisfied you can return it. That is not easy to do because you need to take it out and shoot a couple hundred photos or so just to get the feel for it. Generally they DO NOT do returns unless everything is almost untouched. I really suggest buying local when it comes to the camera and lens. It's not easy dealing with mail orders on this kind of product.
