  Canon EOS 7D with Kit lens 28-135mm
  
  This is a hefty camera. I like the Kit lens, Macro shots are impressive. This lens is a $200 premium over body only, well worth it. The lens sells alone (depending on seller) for $377 to $409. I own it for action shots that my 5Dll is not the best at.

  Great Small Sensor DSLR for Indoor Sports!
  
  I have been shooting for a couple of years with the Rebel XSI. I purchased some nice lenses (50mm 1.4, 70-200 L IS 2.8) and was getting good results, but sometimes missed on great shots because of poor focus. I was saving up for the Canon 5d Mk2 when this camera came out. I went to the local camera shop and tried it side by side with the 5d Mk 2 with my own lenses and was sold on it immediately. The speed and accuracy of focus combined with the high frame rate were great, but more than that, the camera just was so responsive in every aspect. I would compare it to driving a sports car after driving the family minivan. All DSLRs are quick, but this camera was amazingly fast with low light, high ISO situations, locking on focus and taking the picture noticeably faster than the 5d.
  
  The one major concern I had was image quality. There were some negative reviews online, and I know the full frame cameras are the best at high ISO, low-light situations. After shooting more than 3,000 photos and 2 dozen videos over two months, however, I can tell you the image quality is spectacular for both photos and HD video. Not every photo is a masterpiece, but the "hit" rate of perfect focus and exposure is easily 3-4 times as high as for the Rebel XSI. The only trouble is, with the high frame rate, sorting through all of the photos to decide which one captures the moment the best. Considering this camera is almost $1000 less than the Canon 5d Mk 2, it is hard to imagine better performance.
  
  There are two negative to consider, mainly for the high-end consumer. First, the camera is significantly heavier than the entry level Rebel. Second, there are no "Scene" modes, like portrait or sports. This camera is more advanced and you need to have a pretty good idea of how to change aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to get good pictures. If you leave your current camera on the auto setting or scene settings most of the time, or you are trying to upgrade from a point-and-shoot to a DSLR, you will not be able to utilize this camera to its full potential without a significant amount of time invested in learning about photography.
  
  One final tip - I was able to record video and high frame rate photos using a 133x compact flash card without any problems.

  I can not stop enjoying it
  
  What I like about it:
  - Has all the traditional features.
  - Has a live shooting feature (for movies) - the thing I was positively shocked about. It is possible to take a picture with the help of LCD screen despite that it is made for camcorder. Yes, no more looking through the "eye-hole" and besides that it is possible to use a special zooming while using live shooting feature to make the picture as sharp as possible in the manual mode (perfect for Lensbaby).
  - Sits good in the hand.
  Well, if you will buy it, you will not be disappointed.

  Beautiful tough camera. Low light/high ISO noise ruins it..
  
  I received the 7D as payment for shooting my buddy's wedding. I had an XSi and loved it, but wanted an upgrade (as a T2i would have been a lateral move). When I got it home and unpacked it, I loved the feel and look. It is a super solid, tough, very nice looking camera. I was stoked. I started taking some random neutral light photos around my house and yard (with a 50mm f/1.4 USM @ ISO 100). I uploaded the photos to my Mac. The photos looked awesome. crisp, and bright. After a while I wanted to take some low light shots, mainly because I knew the wedding reception would be held in a dark area with minimal light. I bumped the ISO to 250 then 320, then 500. Shooting random pics of my kids in my darker living room at night. Holy noise!!! Even at 250 ISO with my 50mm f1.4 it's unacceptable. I was mortified but I had the wedding coming up in a few days. In a nutshell, my reception photos were complete crap! grainy and noisy. I was able to fix a few using Lightroom 3's improved noise reduction but even then they looked like paintings because it over compensates. I talked to the camera store I purchased it from and they said they have never heard of the noise problems, and that I should bring in some examples. forget about even shooting at 800 ISO let alone 1600 and higher. If anybody who owns a 7D and has experienced the poor low light quality, please leave a comment. I just might sell this bad boy and end up buying a T2i after all...

  Honest Review of the 7D
  
  I bought my 7D in January of 2010.
  
  I've used this camera for a quite a bit, both in still and video capacities. I'll review both separately to explain the pros and cons of each side of the camera.
  
  Stills:
  
  Pros:
  -Awesome ISO range and low noise
  -Great autofocus (really, really fast)
  -Frame rate is ridiculous
  -18mp is wonderful. Great detail.
  -Custom Picture Styles are extremely satisfying.
  
  Considering I'm more of a video person than a photographer, I've really come to appreciate the stills this camera produces. They are clear, even in horrible lighting conditions. Even photos taken in ISO 3200 have very little noise.
  
  I shoot in Manual mode, but when I need to get photos taken in a quick second, I find myself flipping it to Green Box mode and clicking on auto focus and firing off a few frames within a few seconds. The photos are awesome. Considering I photograph events, this has saved me a few times.
  
  I bought the camera body only so I can use the extra money for a 3rd party lens, the Tamron 17-50 F/2.8. Its a great lens, but the range is clearly designed for "walking around" which I do, but when I am a good distance away, the 50mm end of the range is usually not close enough, and not sharp enough.
  
  I do have to say, for a semi-pro camera, the still side of the camera is the highlight. There are very little things to complain about. If you have the lenses you need, this camera will make those lenses create wonderful images.
  
  Now for the cons: Video.
  
  Video:
  
  Pros:
  -1080p resolution/ 720p at 60fps.
  -Manual controls during shooting.
  -Compact body and weather sealed
  
  Cons:
  -Rolling shutter
  
  Rolling shutter is when the camera takes a frame by "rolling" the scan lines of the CMOS sensor downwards instead of exposing the sensor all at once (called "global exposure"). This is especially obvious in high action scenes and flashing lights. Shooting at 720 at 60fps, it is reduced, but it is still evident, especially in a moving car and looking at tall objects like trees and poles (they appear to lean). This camera is best used in low action scenes with a stabilizer like a tripod or shoulder mount (which kind of defeats the purpose of having a portable camera).
  
  -Chroma sampling
  
  I understand that some of the readers wont know what this is. But for the film people who are considering buying this camera, this is for you.
  
  The sampling ratio is 4:2:0. Which isnt prime for green screen. But another side effect is color grading is affected by this. It creates unsightly artifacts in the footage. There are tutorials online on how to upload custom picture styles to greatly increase the dynamic range of the camera (and custom Picture Styles to create amazing colors in the camera), but there is one more thing that affects the footage: Noise.
  
  -Noise Reduction
  
  The noise reduction in video is no where near as good as the picture side of the camera. Considering that some might not have the best light available, they'll have to boost the ISO, and once it peaks past 1000iso, the noise becomes more evident. Canon markets this camera as a monster in low light situations (which it is), but the noise is very painful to see, especially when the footage is mixed with HVX-200 footage. The difference is obvious.
  
  So, since a good portion of buyers will not really care for the video, most of my cons are irrelevant. It'll be a wonderful camera for the birthday clips and holidays. But for people who want to buy this (or the 5D) for film production (as I did), the limitations should be considered.
  
  It is a good camera for dramatic films with little to no action. But, action is a difficult thing to capture on this camera without it looking gelatinous.
  
  Overall, its a great camera. Actually, this is a wonderful camera. It is limited in the video side, but for a $1700, it offers a relatively inexpensive high definition capability (most film quality HD camcorders are $3000+ and they have inadequate lenses) and a great "equalizer" for film students or indie film productions.
  
  For an example as to how the camera deals with concert areas, I have this video I made. Look at the strange lines created in the flashing lights. Also, be warned, this camera will be destroyed if lasers hit the sensor (as shown is certain videos online).

Great camera...if it worked! Buyer beware of Amazon and Nikon

Right out of the box, this camera had all of the problems that everyone else has reported - the flashing F-- error (indicating that a lens isn't attached, even though it is), CHA error (tried three different authorized SDHC cards, and it had problems with all of them), and the random lock up with the flashing ERR message.

The only solution was to remove the battery. Then I could take five more pics before it would crash again. No good.

I wanted to get an exchange through Amazon, but they no longer carry the camera (after one week!), so I'll have to wait a couple months for it to be back in stock. Of course, at that point, I'm sure it will be cheaper since the new Nikons are slated to come out at the end of August - lose lose for me.

Or I can get a refund, but then I'll have to spend more on the same camera somewhere else. I had already maxed out my budget to buy this one, so I can't really afford to spend more. I bought mine when everyone was having a sale on Nikons, and now no one has them on sale, so not only would I be out another $100 at least, there's still no guarantee that I won't have to go through all of this hassle again the next time. I wish I had bought from anyone else besides Amazon, as everyone else seems to still have it in stock!

I called Nikon, and I'll have to pay shipping to send it to them, then wait at least 7-10 business days for service (their quoted *average* service time - who knows how long it will actually take), then have them ship it back to me (don't know if I have to pay for that or not, didn't say). So I'm out additional money, I STILL won't have a camera for at least two or three weeks of prime summer shooting season, and when I do, I'll just have to hope that they indeed fixed it properly (exchanging for a new one would make me feel a lot better than forever owning a known lemon).

I was so excited to have this camera for the summer, but now I'm just sad and frustrated.

The camera itself seems like it would be great if it worked. It seemed very sturdy, had a fantastic feature set, and took great images.

It looks like my best option is to just return it to Amazon and buy the Canon T2i from someone else instead. :-(

Amazing

Where to start, this camera is amazing, it is very user friendly (after a brief review of the manual), very accessible because you don't have to access the menu every 2 seconds to change the seconds, simply use the turn dials on front and back, and the pictures are simply amazing. Even an amateur coming from a point and shoot can benefit 10 fold from this camera, simply amazing

Does not disappoint

I splurged on this camera and spent more than I budgeted, but I'm happy I did. The D-90 is easy to use despite its many features, feels balanced and properly weighted, and is comfortable to use. The lens was a nice surprise - image quality is truly excellent. 3" LCD makes a difference. Have had it for over a year now and have no complaints but did find the lens limiting so I have added an 18-200mm VR wide angle zoom lens and am very pleased with it.

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.

Canon Rebel XS 10.1 Digital SLR Camera

This purchase was a replacement for the same camera which I had purchased new on Amazon and which had subsequently been stolen out of my daughter's car. Thought I would take a shot at saving some money this time around and purchased a used camera. Unfortunately, the camera simply stopped working within a week - right in the middle of an event we were photographing. Could have been just a fluke, but I don't think I'd buy anything like this used again, even it is on Amazon which has a good reputation.

This is the entry-level d-SLR you're looking for.

My first experience with Canon cameras was several years ago when I was working at a photography studio that had gone digital. I was impressed with them then, and they continue to impress me now. A year or so after leaving the studio, I was in the market to buy my first d-SLR camera. I compared several different brands and models, and I finally settled on the Rebel XS. I hate to use a cliché, but it really is "more bang for your buck". The Rebel XS just has so much more to offer than its similarly-priced Nikon counterpart (the 3000D). Most of the time, you can get this camera bundled with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens, which is a really good starter lens.

If you're looking to go pro, then you'll probably want to buy a more upscale d-SLR (the Canon EOS 400D is a typical model), but if you just want a well-rounded, entry-level d-SLR, the Rebel XS (any camera from the Rebel series, really) is the one you want. This camera gives you the freedom of a d-SLR with the ease of use of a compact ("point-and-shoot"). The camera is highly customizable, and most accessories you buy for this camera will be compatible with other Canon SLR models, as well - in case you ever want to move to a more upscale model in the future. The nice thing is, however, that you don't HAVE to buy accessories. If you have a camera, a lens, and a memory card, then you're good to go. One thing you will need with this camera, as I mentioned, is a memory card. It uses a standard SD Card, but I would recommend a high-speed card (for fast shooting) such as this one: SanDisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDRH-004G-A11, US Retail Package).

Getting started with this camera is very easy; the user's manual is very clear, and the camera itself is not complicated. The camera has a variety of shooting modes which serve everyone from the newbie amateur to the seasoned pro. One nice thing about this camera is its ability to shoot RAW images, which means you can edit your pictures more without sacrificing image quality (an unfortunate drawback of JPG format). If you're used to JPG, however, this camera still saves images in that format.

Compared to many d-SLRs, this camera is lightweight and versatile. It has a built-in flash, but a more powerful flash can still be attached and synched if necessary. If you're using it for portrait photography, it has the ability to shoot tethered (meaning it is connected to a computer/software and its images go directly into the computer instead of to the SD card). It has a lightning-fast startup; just flip the power switch and it's turned on. The battery lasts a long time before needing to be recharged. One of the only drawbacks I've noticed to this camera is that it won't run on AC power without a special adapter (which must be purchased separately), but since the battery lasts a long time (and since additional battery packs for this model are relatively inexpensive), that isn't a large problem (I was taking 200-300 pictures per day and went about three weeks before needing to charge the battery). A huge advantage that I should mention is that the camera's sensor is self-cleaning. This means that there is no complicated process of removing the sensor and cleaning it (although manually cleaning it every so often is a good idea).

I could go on and on with praise for this camera, but no one wants to read a book-length product review. I'm not going to say that this is the "last camera you'll ever need," but it is an excellent model for both snapshots and for shutterbug experimenting. It's also good for semi-pros like myself who just want a good, dependable camera that is relatively inexpensive but takes professional-quality images.

For as many reviews as there are for this camera, there isn't a lot that I can add. The only feature that perplexes me a bit is the inability to "erase all" by using the delete button. Other models allow for this but for some reason, using the delete button gives you the option of deleting only one picture at a time.

Perfect for starting out

This was my first DLSR that I actually kept :) I ordered the Pentax K-X right before this one and ended up playing with both for a week before I returned the Pentax. I think this Canon is a higher quality product and has the benefit of a large user base, and therefore lots of knowledgebase in the community. The camera is pretty light and easy to use. It may be a bit cheaper on other websites, but I chose to go with Amazon due to the high quality of their customer service and easy return process.

Great Starter DSLR

This Canon is very nice. However, I prefer using my Canon A1 film camera. Digital is great, but I wish this camera had the ability to take photographs as well as my A1 SLR. No way, it just can't be done. But for a digital camera for under $700, whereas mine included the 50-250mm zoom lens and the standard 18-55mm, so I received even a better deal. I do like the camera, I just can't seem to get the quality pictures I think it should deliver. It could be me and not the camera. All of the whistles & bells are fantastic, including the battery life. I use my old Canon Speedlite 199a flash on this camera. Its works perfectly. No problems. Oh, and I called Canon technical support prior to using this older flash unit because I had read where some people thought it could damage the camera, which it cannot. All I can say is when you are in the market for a new camera, keep your eyes open for Canon to offer special deals on lenses.

For an entry-level camera this has given me far more than entry-level results. This is the only DSLR I could afford, and for the money I payed for it I was very pleased. Even with the 18-55 (which has crapped the bed) I was able to get great results even though I had to manual focus the whole time because the lens sucked! Check out my pictures at ([...]) All the pictures on there were taken with the XSi with the 18-55 kit, with the exception of like three pictures that were taken with a crappy fujifilm point and shoot. The camera itself is great. It may not have great build quality, but as long as your not thrashing it around it will hold up... The most important thing about this lens you need to know is KEEP IT CLEAN..don't take off the lens and leave the mirrors exposed..that was my biggest mistake!
