Ever since I started using a Canon camera (the old F model of the late Sixties), I have followed the rule that it is better to spend one's money on good glass than slightly better body quality. I chose this model over the XSi because of the price difference. The two megapixels more was not worth the $155.00 extra to me, and a year of use confirms my decision. As does the comparison by Bob Atkins. The dollars I saved went to buying a 7D this year, a major body quality upgrade, and the dollars saved from buying that rather than a 5D are going toward another first class lens. Make no mistake, this is a first class camera for almost any kind of photography. It is five star quality all the way across the board, and I recommend it highly to anyone on a tight budget.

I was informed to buy this camera without a lens because the lenses available to purchase are much better. I bought the 50mm lens, and it is great. I suggest buying some sort of zoom lens though because you will want to be able to zoom in and zoom out.

I am verry into my family pictures. I've been using point and shot cameras forever this is my first SLR and what a difference!!!! I can never go back. The pictures come out so crisp and clear. The price was also great as an added bonus. I recommended this camera to my friends & family, and those that took my advice thank me every day.

This camera is exactly what I was looking for, works perfect with my Canon lenses and performs even better than my old film Canon EOS Rebel. I will be using it for a long time, although the 10.1 MP won't be enough soon. I'm using it with an EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM wide angle lens and an EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. Both work accurately and fast

I bought this body but instead of canons kit lens, I added a Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC kit lens to my list. Have to say I love it, the options are easy to use. Battery life on this is very great, I'm able to go all day with a fully charged battery the body can't say much being this my first dslr but without all the bells and whistles it is a very great way to start off on a dslr.

I had previously had a Canon EOS (non-digital) and still had lenses that I wanted to use. My old lenses fit this new digital camera perfect. Still learning how to take better pictures, but with this Canon EOS Rebel I think I am on my way to being a better photographer.

I got this camera a few weeks ago and it took great photos on the cruise I went on and it takes great photos of my kids.

The Digital Rebel XS is one of the best values offered in the realm of SLR cameras today. Although it doesn't offer the degree of control that is available on pro or prosumer cameras, the image quality is very good so it makes a great camera for the casual user.

I love this camera, but the reviews were right about the auto focus not being very good. I deal with it because an upgrade would have been much more expensive. Great features, easy to use.

I really wanted to get into photography but didn't have much of a budget to do so, so after a photography friend's recommendation, I purchased this camera with high hopes. It is fantastic. The first few weeks I had it, I took it everywhere with me. It gets clean and crisp shots and because it doesn't take video, the battery seems to last forever! Yeah, it's not a super high-end camera with all the bells and whistles, but this is a great starter camera for someone wanting to get into photography.
