I've been an aspiring photographer for most of my adult life and always striving to get that better shot.I'll never be a pro, but always striving for a better photo. I used to have a nice 35mm outfit with multiple lenses, but then the digital age came into play. I've had a few digital cameras, but nothing with the capabilities of a true SLR. Finally, with much thanks to my Wife, I have a new Canon Eos Rebel t1i and couldn't be happier and am very impressed with the image quality of this camera. If you want simple, just run in full auto mode. After that, the capabilities with the various modes are as flexible as your imagination. I'm just getting started (had it for 3 weeks now), but each time I use it, I'm more impressed. Definitely a great camera for the money. I purchased with the standard 18-55 mm Kit lens and also the 75-250mm zoom. I would recommend doing the same, or at least plan on adding lenses down the road. These two lenses give me a very good range and I'm finding the zoom is great for candid photos and wildlife shots. Time will tell, but so far, I think I made the right choice.

So, I've been using point and shoots and becoming frustrated with the results. This is my first foray into DSLR land, and I have to say, I'm hooked! This has got to be the MOST versatile piece of equipment that I've ever owned. Of course there's a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you'll have problems putting this camera down. Eventually, I hope to upgrade, but for right now, this is the camera to have. If you're thinking about buying one, stop thinking about it and do it. You WON'T be disappointed, and the time you're spending thinking about it could be better spent taking pictures.

I'm impressed with the pictures clarity and details! The autofocus works amazingly fast. Manual focus is very easy. I'm still learning to use the camera (my oldest brother had an SLR camera 25 years ago, when I was a kid, so it has been a while I don't use one of these). Changing the lense is not confusing. The 18-55mm lens works great for shooting wide ange photos. The 55-275mm lens works very for zooming.

I was able to shoot over 500 pictures before recharging the battery.

I bought this camera about seven months ago. It has taken my photography to a new level. I went from 35mm film camera I've used for years, and wanted a taste of the digital age. I love the image stabilization, I have superb pictures.

it takes very good pictures. it ia very easy to use. it has made me a better photographer , i point and shout and it douse the rest.

It is user friendly and its quality is superb. Buy it and you won't never regret. Have a nice experience.

This is the best camera I have ever owned. The pictures are super sharp, even in low light. The only negative comment that I have is the movie mode. It does not work as well as a camcorder. Every other mode works really well and it is super easy to use.

I purchased the EOS Rebel T1i for it's HD video capability. You can't beat the price & accessories that came with this bundle. Thank you Amazon for a stress-free transaction & thanks to Beach Camera for the great price!

It is great camera, I haven't had a lot of expirience with that type yet, I have to learn some stuff, but it is very nice product.

The timing was great, the product very good but we seem to not have gotten two things, small, that they did check to see if it was packed but we did not get it. Sorry!
