I've used Canon SLR cameras for the last 21 years and have never had any problems with any of them (a F-1, AE-1, EOS 5). I've been using this camera for the last 3 months and have been very pleased with it.

This camera's initial appeal is the compact, light weight design. However, this camera offers much, much more!

This camera has most of the features and manual setting possibilities found in professional level cameras along with idiot-proof automatic settings that make it as easy to use as a point-and-shoot...

Because you can mount any of the countless quality EOS lenses to this camera, the possibilities of crafting quality pictures is endless. The 28-90 lens that comes with this camera is a good place to start, but don't limit yourself to just this one choice. Canon has been making EOS cameras for the last 16 years and has been a market leader all that time. There's lots of great new and used lenses available.

Another definite plus to this camera is the awesome ergonomics. Unlike most SLR's, you can easily operate this one (including setting all manual and automatic settings) with just your right hand. I've never used a camera that I've been able to do this in a natural, comfortable and secure manner.

I have had this camera for 8 months now and used over 100 rolls of film. I scrapbook and take a ton of family photos, and photos of the kids. I use 400 and 800 speed film (fuji or kodak) and this is a no fail camera! Our pictures are perfect! The are crisp, the colors pop so nicely. It is so much fun to use and easy enough that my 5 year old can pick it up and use it. It has auto focus which is what I use most of the time and is quick and easy. I prefer the date back because I might not get to putting my photos in an album for a while and need the date to remind me when it was taken. I purchased the accessory remote for [$$$] and it is great. We can do a family photo and use the cordless remote to activate the timer or to take the picture. The lens that comes with the camera is great. It is the closest you will get to a wide angel and most people won't need any additional lens. I did purchase a longer telephoto (to 300mm) because there were times such as the zoo where I needed the extra distance. I have used it a few times and it is a breeze just like the smaller lens. But most of the time I keep the standard lens on. This camera has really made me interested in photography as my pictures come out so good!

The Camera is absolutely great and its fun for any one who likes taking pictures. The zoom is perfect. The USM motor is fast focussing as promised. I also have a digital camera but the picture quality of digital does not come close to the canon. This camera can be for some one who wants everything automatic (easy to operate) or total manual (for professionals). I love the overlap feature / A DEP, light weight, in-built flash and cool looks. Before this I have owned pentex asahi mx and minolta 700, and nikon f5. For the price this is the best. Amazon has the best price for a date model with USM II 28-90 lens.

I bought this camera about 9 months ago. I was looking for a camera that was easy to use for the beginner, but had many good features that were needed for variety of photo shooting. I was looking for a light, userfriendly camera. The body, especially the grip is so natural I took the camera with me to a NASCAR race and used Fuji 1600 speed film for the stop action. Detail was so spectacular, you could see the lug nuts on the cars as they drove by the stands where i viewed the race! I also took the camera to Las Vegas and captured some exceptional shots with the standard lens in all types of situations from action to low light. I have bought accessories: Lens Filter and Polarizer, shutter cable, lens hood, tripod and various films. This camera has exceeded my expectations and I have not fully utilzed all the features. If you are looking for a great, ergonomic, easy focus and versitale camera, then this is a must purchase.

After 18 years of using the magnificent T70, a dear friend wanted a good complete second-hand SLR kit to start taking good pictures. It was time for me to move on, so I sold her mine. I've always used a Canon and I always will.

The Ti was new on the market and I read every review out there on every Canon being sold. It was down to the Elan7 and the Ti. After a very detailed review of specs, I decided that the Elan does not offer any extra important features to the good amateur photographer justifying the price difference (unless you really want the eye focus control). I also reviewed all Canon lenses and I did not want to be changing lenses for most of my photography needs, like I did with my T70. The Canon EF 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 USM provided just that.

The Rebel Ti did not disappoint any of my expectations. As a veteran amateur photographer, I was surprised by the light weight of the camera and the performance was exactly as I expected namely sharp, capable and inclusive of everything that you might need. It does use up the two small but expensive Li batteries too fast for my taste, but the extreme light weight compensates for that and more. I did end up getting the battery pack with chargeable AA's for heavy indoor use.

The Canon EF 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 USM is a big but very responsive lens. The auto focus USM speed is very impressive. Two things about this combination you should know. One, the lens has a 72mm diameter, which hikes the price of your filters and attachments. Two, the lens comes only in black and the camera only in two colors. I did not mind the mismatch, but make sure you that you won't.

I have always wanted a good SLR camera. This camera is beyond my expectations. It is light and ergonomically well designed. I have taken pictures at a race track, at night, a friendly football game, birthday parties, and all I used was the automatic focus. All pictures came out great and the colors are vivid. I especially liked the developed pictures that were on a matte finish.

I am using the 800 Kodak film with anti-blur. I am now taking B&W photos with the camera.

Because you can mount any of the countless quality EOS lenses to this camera, the possibilities of crafting quality pictures is endless. The 28-90 lens that usually comes with this camera is an o.k. place to start, but I would recommend getting the Sigma 28-200 Compact Hyperzoom Lens instead---lightweight, good focal range, better construction than the comsumer grade lenses that are usually packaged with this camera.

When buying a SLR camera, you likely intend to purchase additional lenses and/or flashes to build a system (if not, maybe a point and shoot would be better). Canon has an awesome line of flashes, lenses, and other accessories for their bodies. Sadly they all add up to quite an expense, so buying a body at the lower end, such as this one, can allow you to spend more on lenses, which ultimately contribute much more to the final product (only your own abilities exceed them in impact). The difference between this body and some of Canon's higher end ones is minimal for most users (bodies costing 2-4 times as much are metal, sealed from the weather, and may focus quicker, but few really need any of this). This camera leaves few feautures out (especially when compared to competing brands' cameras in this price range), and you can build a wonderful system around it. If you ever do develop a need for a fancier model, you will have learned a whole lot from this body and will have a collection of lenses and flashes to continue to use.

I recently bought the Canon Rebel Date Ti camera and I absolutely love it. It feels so perfect in my hand and the design is remarkable. I expect a lot from every product I buy and this camera exeeds each one of my standards. I have used SLR cameras before but none like this one. It is so simple to use and the Autofocus is super fast and is ready for the next shot right away. I love it, and now I will buy other lenses for it, although the 28-90mm one that is included is very nice too. Perfect pictures every single time.
