Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Canon raises the bar in the world of 35mm SLRs with its EOS Rebel Ti. Canon claims the Rebel Ti has the fastest autofocus (AF) in its class, which should increase accuracy and precision for shooting at a real-life pace. This deluxe kit comes with the Rebel Ti Date body, a 28-90mm USM lens, mini tripod, gadget bag, and an SLR accessory pack. The included EF 28-90mm f4-f5.6 standard zoom lens is an ideal all-around lens for wide angle to medium telephoto photography.

Fast, accurate, and flexible, Rebel Ti's three autofocus systems (the camera chooses the best one automatically) free you to concentrate on your composition and to just have fun. Seven focusing points cover an area wider than any other camera in its class, letting you place your subject off-center or even focus on the area covered by multiple focus points.

The glare-free laser matte viewfinder displays seven wide-area focusing points, which are clearly superimposed to guide composition. There's also a dioptric adjustment so that prescription glasses can be removed for up-close comfort. The extralarge LCD panel is illuminated for clear viewing whatever the lighting conditions.

You can rely on Rebel Ti's automatic exposure system for professional results, but the camera's special exposure controls give you lots of room for experimentation. With the camera's multiple exposure control, you can place up to nine images in a single frame for impressive surrealistic compositions.

Shooting feels natural because the shutter button, AF point selector, main dial, command dial, and even the LCD panel's buttons are all within reach for one-handed operation. The command dial has seven preset image controls for work in various common shooting situations.

The lens mount is solid stainless steel to handle Canon's full line of world-renowned lenses. A built-in flash pops up easily for shooting in low-light situations, and its extended arm reduces red-eye effect. It recycles for action quickly, and with a red-eye reduction lamp built right in, images are natural and flattering. The quartz date imprinting feature can stamp your photos with the exact time you shoot your images.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Few Things to Ponder, August 13, 2003

By 

Neil Roosma (Wilmington, DE USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel Ti 35mm SLR Quartz Date Deluxe Kit (28-90mm Lens, Bag, Mini-Tripod, Accessory Pack) (Electronics)

First of all, I would not consider myself a camera expert at all. To compensate, I did fairly extensive research on the different SLRs available for a beginner's price tag. I purchased my Canon Ti a little over a month ago, and have been truly impressed with what this camera can do. I have taken a good variety of pictures (indoor/outdoor, day/night) using 400 and 800 speed Kodak and Fuji film, and all pictures have turned out beautifully. Several of my "artistic shots" look truly amazing.

Rather than run through a list of features or give insight that I am not qualified to do, let me say a few things that I have not really seen in other reviews.

My biggest discovery was in the differences between the Ti and the Ti Date cameras. If you would be interested in using the remote switch or the remote control, you must buy the Date camera. I don't know why this isn't clearer in the product descriptions (unless I just missed it), but this is a pretty major difference between the cameras. I very nearly made a costly mistake...

Also, I think that it is vital that you actually get your hands on the cameras you are looking at. The feel of the Rebel Ti was one of its main selling points to me. I liked it better than the Rebel 2000, Minolta Maxxum 5, etc. I was also considering the Elan 7E, but felt that it was a little too heavy and bulky when compared with the Ti. Pick the camera up, see how it sits in your hands, play with the little controls... see if it FEELS right. I will say that it is very handy that the Ti has virtually everything accessible with the right hand. I also like the large LCD panel on the back of the camera (as opposed to the top). The backlight on the LCD panel adds a nice touch - I was able to use it in total darkness to take pictures of fireworks. Cool!

As to this kit, I priced the equipment it comes with, and it is well worth the money. The little accessory bag attaches right onto the big bag. As to the problem an earlier reviewer had regarding a missing strap, I am pleased to report that I received everything promised. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this camera (or the Deluxe Kit).

5.0 out of 5 stars Words to the wise -- buy and enjoy!, September 5, 2003

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel Ti 35mm SLR Quartz Date Deluxe Kit (28-90mm Lens, Bag, Mini-Tripod, Accessory Pack) (Electronics)

I bought this camera to replace an EOS Rebel G that was stolen. I haven't had it long but I can already tell you that having the LCD on the back instead of the top makes a huge difference. (Even literaly -- digits on the display are two or three times larger in addition to being more convieniently located.) I also noticed right away that compared to the G the grip feels narrower and deeper which somehow makes it feel like you have a tighter hold of the camera.

The first two reviewers of this package alarmed me enough that I read through all the product details very carefully before placing the order. The main thing I noticed that hasn't been emphasized before is that the delux package comes with a lens that has an ultrasonic motor (that's what the USM stands for) which is a step up from the micro motor in the standard package. It was also nice to get all the little things -- lens cleaning kit, batteries, bag, UV filter-- out of the way in one fell swoop.

The one negative I have is that I very quickly broke the tripod by pulling too hard on one of the legs. It only extends to about a foot and for some reason I thought it might telescope out farther than that. I'm not happy about it breaking so quickly but I did use too much force.

The camera bag does seem a tiny bit bulky. Previously, I was using a Tamrac holster style bag. I think eventually I will probably get another one for this camera.

I highly recommend the Canon EOS Rebels, especially to novices with aspirations, and this Rebel in particular. I also strongly recommend that if you lock your camera or other valuables in your trunk that you also lock the trunk release latch in the passenger compartment (if your car has that feature.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal, February 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel Ti 35mm SLR Quartz Date Deluxe Kit (28-90mm Lens, Bag, Mini-Tripod, Accessory Pack) (Electronics)

I had my Cannon rebel G stolen on Chrismas, so for a replacement I have been Eying the new Cannon Ti. Every store I've looked at sells this model for $300, and up. It comes with the smaller 35-80mm Lens, and thats it. I was very happy with this package deal, because it came with a better len's 27-90mm( Nice Close ups!), Camera bag, 2 batteries, cleaning kit, Mini tripod, and a role of film! On top of that it was free to ship! The camera itself is beautiful, a nice step up from my stolen Rebel G!
