The Canon EOS Rebel T1i features a 15.1Mp CMOS sensor (similar to the sensor found in the EOS 50D) for detailed, full volume prints, Live View for accurate pre-focusing and editing, continuous burst-rates of up to 3.4 fps, a DIGIC 4 image processor, and a scratch and glare-resistant high-resolution 3" Clear View LCD that allows for easy 100% image viewing from angles up to 170° off-center from the screen. The Rebel T1i records a choice of full HD 1080p, 720p, and VGA video capture for true high-resolution video that beats or meets the image quality of far costlier pro camcorders. The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats dust through the use of high-frequency vibrations that shake dust loose from the sensor's front-mounted IR filter every time you power up and power down. It has an ISO rating from ISO 100 through 3200 in standard mode, and from 6400 to 12,800 in expanded mode.
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible.
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS telephoto Zoom Lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses).

Great Camera
We love this camera! It takes pictures quickly and captures great shots of our animals we just couldn't get with the cameras we had. It gets great pictures in varying levels of light. We used the zoom to get some amazing pictures of an owl the other day that was way up in a tree. Pictures capture detail with fabulous clarity. Can zoom in on computer and see each feather.

Awesome camera!
I'm strictly an amateur photographer who was looking for the best "point and shoot" I could find, with various lens options and the option to learn manual camera operations at my leisure. I had recently bought a Nikon Coolpix S710 and was unhappy with its performance. Even the miniature size proved to be a turn-off, and the lack of a view finder annoyed this old-timer. The photo results were nothing but ordinary, at best. The baby Nikon proved to me that I wanted a "full-size" camera with view finder, and one with versatility and high quality results.
I read lots of reviews, thanks to Amazon, decided on a price maximum, and finally settled on the Canon Rebel XS. Right out of the box, the results were, well, astounding, using the automatic setting only. The images are sharp, the color is superb, and the flexibility of the lenses all come together for a downright enjoyable experience. The automatic focus is great. The built-in flash does a great job. Every picture I take is above average. The camera is intelligent and always seem to know what settings it should use.
The package offered by Cameta Camera is a bargain. For $599.95 it included two lenses, a spare battery, 4GB card, adequate camera/gadget bag, camera strap, so it was ready to go right out of the box. Every item offered by Cameta was accounted for and supplied as advertised, and promptly shipped.
Some people may not like its larger size, and with a separately purchased Canon EF-S 18-200mm lens it is a bit heavy (and pricey), but I find that an asset, and very "professional" looking. It's got a natural "hold" that's comfortable, while the standard 18-55mm lens is much smaller and lighter and easy to manage.
The package also comes with a 75-300mm zoom lens which I haven't used yet. It seems more geared to specialized use for strictly zooming situations.
I judge the Canon XS Rebel package from Cameta Camera as a "best buy" that should prove hard to beat for the price and quality. Using a card reader, I transferred all my pics to an Apple puter, and they look great on the screen.

I love this camera especially for sport photos
There is nothing I do not like about this camera. It is great for sports, my son plays college baseball and I have taken some great pics! It is easy to learn and came with everything you need plus extras that were good quality not junk. The vendor shipped this item earlier than expected and one cable was back ordered, I did not have to remind them to send it. Great price for everything you get.

great entry leven DSLR
Well, I was looking for a DSLR long time ago, I couldn't decide between canon XS or pentaxK-X but I finally decided and bought the canon XS.
Unlike pentax K-X this canon doesn't have a lot of extra features like HD video recording and in-body image stabilization, but I decided for canon because it is more "standard" (I mean, more people use it and thus I can find more support in the community, blogs, forums, etc).
Something I REALLY loved in the petax and I miss in this canon, is the use of AA batteries, but well we cannot have it all in a single camera :(
I'm so happy with the picture quality it delivers, even with the kit lens! The problem is that the extra telephoto lens provided doesn't have image stabilization (yes, this camera does not have stabilizer in the body, it relies on the lens), so using the telephoto lens in a cloudy day or low light situations is a no-no. The pentax K-X has image stabilization built in the body, so ANY lens you use is gonna get that stabilization, this is not the case with canon.
Another flaw in this model is the materials used, feels a little flimsy and plasticky. Even bridge DSLR-like point and shoots are stronger. The next model, the XSi, is way stronger than this and I guess worth the extra bucks.
Anyway (and besides the mentioned flaws), I'm overall happy with the picture quality (at the end of it all, this is the most important thing in a camera). If you're on a budget get this one, it gives you more bang for the buck!

The camera was a graduation gift and it came much earlier than expected. I will do business with this company again.

dubious pricing
I decided to buy the camera the day after I did an online search on amazon to look at different models. Within 24 HOURS, Cameta camera had increased its price by more than 10 dollars for no reason. I called them to ask about this sudden increase and was simply told that their prices go up and down without warning, and that I could/should wait for the camera's price to go down again. I find this practice highly dubious--especially right before Christmas.
Question : Do you know of a digital slr camera that can attach old lens from non digital slr camera?
I know generally the camera has to be of the same brand; ie. Canon lens for a Canon camera. I was just wondering does anybody know of a digital slr camera that can do this. If not, maybe you can tell me which camera you have and if it is good or not.Thanks alot.
Answer:
All Pentax DSLRs can use any pentax lens EVER made.Also the IS thing the guy below mentioned. However, keep in mind that old Pentax lenses were made for 35mm SLRs, the equivalent to full frame cameras today. Pentax doesn't have full frame cameras yet, so images'll be cropped.
Question : How to get lomography effects with a regular digital SLR camera?
I am beginning to get interested in lomography, and I was wondering if I could do it with a regular camera. (I have a digital SLR, will that work?) All the photos of lomography I have seen seems as if they have extremely high contrast, and deepened depths of field. Is there a way to not buy a lomography camera and get the same results? Im getting back into photography after a long break and am really rusty! Thanks to anyone who answers!
Answer:
Some of the high contrast and crazy colors is because the film was cross-processed. That means color print film developed in the "wrong" chemicals like for slide processing.Lomography (derived from the LOMO company name) is a marketing thing to re-spin photography in a counterculture way (like it wasn't done enough in the 1980's, you can see some examples from photo magazines of that period.)(Chemical based photography is 100 years old, so people have been trying it chemically "wrong" occasionally).Kind of like saying "Nikon-ography or Canon-ography".Deep depth of field comes from lomographic cameras having f/8 or f/11 as their only apertures (with deep DOF) and the lenses may tend towards wide angle, (more deep DOF).Lomographic cameras are also based on cheap cameras from the 1960's with plastic lenses. So the clarity, and focus, and contrast of the best special glass (and best special lens coatings) are not in the picture.You can also use different colored filters in front of the lens, and put vaseline or plastic on a clear filter to get the hazy or dreamlike effect (also use f/8 or f/11 with a wide or fish-eye lens). And also shoot from odd angles.Once the image is digital from DSLR, then you can use Photoshop or GIMP and manipulate the colors, the contrast, clarity, and the focus, and cut/paste sprocket holes or frame numbers. Then call it "GIMP-ography"
Question : Digital SLR?
I'm going to be looking for a digital SLR soon. Price is not a concern (within reason of coarse).What are some good recommendations? I would prefer to stay away from Nikon (I really don't like them), and I learn more towards Canon.As of now I have a Canon Powershot S3 IS. If I buy lenses for it, will I also be able to use them on a new Canon SLR?
Answer:
It's perfectly all right if you don't like Nikon - I think Nikon made a pretty good camera but I think since you have already in the Canon camp, might as well as stick in it. Well, you probably won't be able to port your existing camera's accessories to your DSLR when you finally get one, but the user interface will be very much similar from the S3 IS to the DSLR so I'm pretty sure you'll adapt pretty easily.Don't worry about add ons/accessories. There are actually more accessories for Canon than there is for Nikon. Not by far of course because they are both pretty popular.The S3 IS is not an SLR and if you buy an add on for the S3 IS, you won't be able to use them into any Canon SLR. Now the camera itself. I have the Canon XTi and I liked it pretty much. It does everything I want it to do, and it produces good images. The only thing I hated about it is that itty bitty tiny grip that made an otherwise good camera felt like a toy.I'm in the process of saving up on getting the new 40D - after I replace my kit lens that is - and since I have tried it on a camera shop before, I know that the 40D is a pretty awesome camera.Although a little bit outdated (and replaced by the 40D), the 30D is still a very good camera and you also want to look into it.My advice, go to a real camera store and try things for yourself. Just say the clerk that you want to try the camera first before buying. I'm sure he'll understand.
Question : What is the cheapest way to get a digital SLR camera?
And don't say steal it!I am a student photographer, and I used a standard canon digital camera, but I wan't something with more optical zoom that can be digital. I already have a canon film slr that my mom used to have, and frankly it is quite old and a hassle to carry around. I decided it might be best if I went ahead and invested in an slr, but i know those are extremely pricey! So, do you know where the best deals are for slr cameras, both on and offline?Or, if not, do you know what the best slr STYLED digital cameras are that are out there?Thank you so much!
Answer:
Depending on how serious you are into photography and what type of photography you are doing. I would personally recommend a second hand or refurbished digital SLR for starters. I bought mine second hand and paid only 1/4th of the original price.I own Canon EOS 10D,you can see some of my photography on my website.Then for the lens, the only problem with second hand is to be very very careful. You'll need to check and make sure that the glass has no marks and there is no dust inside, otherwise buy a new lens. Oh as you said you have a canon film slr, if it has autofocus lenses, you can use them with the digital slr so buy a body only and use existing lenses.Also note that, because the digital slr doesn't have sensor same size as 35mm, so whichever lens you use, you have to multiply it by 1.6 so for example 17mm lens will be converted to approx 27mm on digital slr.Hope this helps.P.S. : To start a photography as a student, none of the compact digital or bridge cameras will help, u'll need digital slr (depending on how serious you are as i said). Otherwise yes there are some digital bridge cameras which provides you with almost all features of an SLR but too slow and quality is not same. A canon bridge camera for example is Canon PowerShot G series or Canon PowerShot S2IS.
Question : What Digital SLR camera should I buy to get started with photography?
Hi, I'm 15 years old and have recently been saving up a lot of money. I have been looking in to buying a Digital SLR camera and taking a course in photography. I was just wondering what camera you would recommend I should buy with my £500 budget bearing in mind I need to purchase lenses and extra storage devices...
Answer:
Depending on whether you feel comfortable chasing down used equipment or not, it is possible to get a pretty comprehensive selection of kit.Used prices for a Canon 30D are around £250-300, which is a decent bargain for what you get. It's not going to take your hand and lead your through how to take photographs like the most modern entry level SLRs, but it's purposeful, fast, and dependable. This camera is quite well suited with the Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens for most normal purposes, this should bring your cost up to around £400. The next thing to get is probably the Canon 50mm f1.8 'Nifty Fifty', and a reasonably strong tripod.I would imagine that 4GB of storage is enough, but you do need a fast card, probably 30 MB/s or faster would be needed. I would also go for 2x 2GB, formatted in the FAT16 file system to squeeze some more speed out of it, and also allows you some flexibility if one fails or gets confiscated for some reason.
Question : What is a good Digital SLR Camera for someone just moving into SLR cameras and in the cheaper area?
I have been interested in photography for many years and have finally got to the point where I feel a regular digital camera is holding me back from getting good shots. I am hoping to buy a Digital SLR Camera soon, but I do not know much about them to make an informed decision on which one to buy. There are so many choices. What do you recommend? Hopefully something less than $1000 please.
Answer:
Do you want one with video,If yes, I would recommend Canon Rebel T1i.It is a good camera under $1000 that take good picture quality and also take HD videohttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XURPQS?ie=UTF8&tag=computer0bd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&c reative=390957&creativeASIN=B001XURPQSbut if video is not a factor I would suggest Canon Digital Rebel XSi which cost your around $600 and save your money for another good lenshttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012YA85A?ie=UTF8&tag=computer0bd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&cr eative=390957&creativeASIN=B0012YA85A
Question : What is a good digital SLR camera to buy for an amateur photographer?
I want to upgrade to a digital camera and I was wondering what would be a good one to go with for an amateur photographer. I like the Cannon Rebel line of cameras but I was wondering what a more affordable option might be. What are your thoughts on the Pentax K100d. I learned on a Pentax K1000 and I read that most of the older lenses will fit the Pentax digital SLR cameras.
Answer:
I believe the K100D and K100D Super have been discontinued. Newer models are the K10D and K20D. Pentax is still using the venerable K-mount it introduced in 1975 so any older K-mount manual focus lens can be used with the newest DSLR cameras. There will be limited functionality (manual focus, stop-down metering) but they will enjoy the benefits of image stabilization since Pentax placed it in the camera body. If you have several K-mount lenses in good condition then buy the Pentax DSLR.Since Sony bought the DSLR line from Konica-Minolta in 2006, the Sony Alpha (A) series cameras use the Minolta A-mount introduced with the Minolta Maxxum AF 35mm film camera of 1985. So any Maxxum AF lens will be right at home on the Sony A200 or A350 or A700. Sony also incorporates image stabilization in the camera body.
Question : Can anyone advised what's the best digital slr camera should i choose for a beginner like me?
I'm starting to love photography. I have a Fuji S7000 and a Canon ixus70. Been taking photos for relatives and friends in weddings, birthday parties and families outdoor activities such as BBQ parties for the last 2 years. Thought of getting myself a digital slr camera to explore more on best photography.
Answer:
If you aren't invested in lenses for an SLR then I suggest looking seriously at the Sony A100 and Pentax K100D Super.The A100 is 10mp, has Super Anti-Shake in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor and accepts every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. It also accepts many of the Maxxum accessories.The K100D Super is 6.1mp, has Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor, and you can use every K-mount lens made since 1975. Of course the older lenses will be manual focus but they will have the benefit of IS.Since the introduction of the Sony A700 and Pentax K10D the A100 & K100D Super should be dropping in price. However, careful shopping might find the K10D and A700 available for a reasonable price.
Question : What kind of digital SLR camera is best for beginners?
I've taken a recent interest in photography - I've always taken pictures with a normal digital point and shoot camera, but I really really want a beginner SLR camera, which can take really nice pictures but is reasonably priced. I don't know ANYTHING about SLR cameras, but the ones I've looked at so far are the Nikon D40, and the Canon Rebel, and the Pentax K110.... any advice?
Answer:
The Nikon D40 is probably the best beginner SLR, especially for the price.Stepping up from there, consider the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, the Nikon D40x, and the Canon EOS Rebel XTi.The Pentax K100D super is also a good choice, but I think the Nikon is better built.
Question : What is the best digital SLR camera for a beginner ?
I don't know anything about professional photography, and I need a reasonable priced digital SLR to practice with. What do you suggest?
Answer:
Pick a well known brand (Nikon or Canon) as the additional equipment and lenses will transfer when you upgrade the camera as you become more experienced.Choose an entry level model that is in your price range. Don't think by spending more now, you will have a head start. Camera models and features expand at a greater rate than your pocket book. What you want is to learn the basics and familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of imaging. Remember the greatest photographers in the world took pictures with basic equipment and did not rely on sophisticated features. By remembering that, you won't get sold into economic disaster and become overwhelmed by advancements that apply in limited circumstances.
