#1 Choking Price DSLR Cameras Online

Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series -- a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.

 "Love this camera...issues with AF lense however.." 2010-09-03
By In Tennessee
I purchased this camera in Dec. of 2009 and I have been extremely pleased with it. I am a beginner with SLR cameras and this one has been very easy to learn to use. Beautiful picture quality and ease of use. Just today I am having issues with the AF on the lense that came with the camera. It is not working. I am reading on the internet that others are having this same problem. I have tried everything to remedy the problem to no avail. I will have to call Canon tomorrow and probably send it back to them to get the problem resolved. I am very upset about this and am hoping this isn't a persistant problem through the life of the camera..........

great product. i am a beginner at this so everything is kind of new for me. but it is very easy to use and picture quality is very nice. this camera can do a whole lot more once you get past the beginner stuff, but it will take a while to get everything down. but overall a very satisfy purchase.

It's said that no matter what DSLR you buy, you have the potential to get top notch pictures, no matter the brand or model. Obviously, as you climb higher on the list of dslr models, they get nicer and nicer. But if you're a beginner, this camera can do all you want.

This camera is truly amazing.

Display: Awesome! The Canon XSi has a bit bigger screen which is why some choose that, but no big deal to me, this one is JUST FINE!

Ease of use: Very easy to use. Couldnt be simpler.

Features: Packed with features. The only one that I am very sad to be missing is the option to use a wireless remote. I dont know the name of it but there's like a wireless signal that they left out on the XS, which means no wireless remotes for us 1000D users. But we still have the 1o second timer ;)

Image quality: GORGEOUS! Ive seen pictures from the XSi and T1i and you can barely tell the difference between those and the XS! Its stunning. Especially outdoors. This camera produces some AMAZING BOKEHS. Theyre simply gorgeous.

Battery life: Lasts me weeks. I hardly ever pop out the charger to charge the battery. Its surprising and amazing! Ive thought about buying a spare battery, but at the moment I have no need for one, this one lasts so long.

Low light performance: Its alright. Its not terrible, but the shutter speed is slooow in low light, thus causing blurry pictures. But its not too bad.

Portability: Very good!

Manual controls: All I shoot is manual. Ive been very impressed. And it shows you on a meter how exposed your picture is, which is handy.

Shooting speed: Very nice! Sometimes not in low light but no big deal.

Overall: BUY THIS CAMERA IF you're a beginner to the DSLR world, or even an amateur. The kit lens is doing me wonders, i cant wait to see what it does with better lenses.

Cheers. :)


 "BATTERY ISSUES" 2010-08-16
By MICHELLE CARTER-BOLDEN (VIRGINIA)
I've had my Canon XS for several months now, and just starting taking photography classes, to help me better understand all the bells and whistles of photography. One problem I've run across is the battery life. I have the original battery and after fully charging it, there are only three lines of battery life when I put it in my camera. I was told by a "expert" battery distributer, the problem might be my camera. I brought a replacement battery with the same results. Does anyone have any ideas, why?? Any suggestions will be very helpful. Otherwise, I am pleased with my camera...



UPDATE: 8/24/10
SO....since I posted, I actually took my battery and camera in tow, to have an EXPERT look at it. And lo and behold, the battery is fine, I was looking at the wrong....sorry for the 4-stars......if I could change it 5-stars all the way for my Rebel Cannon XS.


 "Great beginner SLR" 2010-08-07
By Katherine E. Warren (Cleveland, OH)
I bought this camera about 3 months ago. I LOVE it. I have shot a big variety of things with it: nature, people, food, etc. I did a ton of research before buying, and right now I still just have the kit lens, but I feel like this camera gives me exactly what I wanted:great quality, beautiful pictures. It is small and portable compared to the higher end SLR's, and all the functions you need on the camera are on the face of it, so you aren't always having to flick through the menu. I sometimes feel limited, like if I want to take a macro shot, but that would be better if I had a different lens. I am hesitant to use the flash, although sometimes this bites me in the butt. In dim light, the camera doesn't do so well without flash, and the blur you get doesn't really show up on the display; only later can you tell that the photo is blurry. Overall though, any photo hobbyist would have a great time with this camera. It is great for traveling or just taking photos of everyday things, and your photos will have a sharp professional look to them that they wouldn't with a point and shoot. Have fun!
