Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens

Pros: 10 megapixels, improved ergonomics, great battery life
Cons: Slow f3.5 maximum aperture on EF-S 18-55mm zoom

Canon introduced the first sub $1000 dSLR (Digital Rebel/EOS300D) in 2003 and the company’s second generation Digital Rebel XT/ EOS 350D was the hands-down dSLR sales leader in 2005. Canon’s third generation Rebel XTi/EOS400D has a larger LCD ...

Pros: The great picture quality; The low shutter lag time
Cons: The high price

I consider myself an intermediate photographer and I owe all of my enhanced interest in the subject and art of photography to the rapid onset of digital cameras to the marketplace. The ease of use and the end of taking film to get developed has increased ...

Pros: Excellent build quality, grat-looking photos, low noise, compact and light for SLR
Cons: Not very cheap, supplied lens has chromatic aberrations at wide angle

I wanted to get the Canon Digital Rebel XTi ever since it was released. I bought a silver Xti with lens (black one is more expensive). The Canon Digital Rebel XTi with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is very impressive and especially so for its price ($760). ...

Pros: Compactness Flexibility Availability of accessories speed
Cons: A bit pricey grip could be better very small optical viewer

There are tons of data, features lists, reviews and descriptions for the Rebel XTi on the internet or newstands. Rather than replicate this same material ad nauseum, I will relate my own personal experiences in using this camera. I find this to be ...

Pros: Easy to use, multiple options, affordable, high quality. Get professional pictures from an amateur.
Cons: The flash can be slow and the LCD monitor is easily scratched

When I first looked at getting a digital camera I considered myself an amateur photographer. I knew how to point the camera at something and click the button. Every once in a while I would get a photo that made someone go wow, but I felt that it was ...

Pros: Excellent price, performance, looks, weight, size, features, user-friendliness, top in its class.
Cons: None that I have experienced during six months of use.

The conclusion first-- the Canon 400D/Rebel XTi is an excellent camera--well-positioned in price, features, looks and performance. Okay, this will be a long review, so bear with me ;) I read many reviews and waited to actually use the camera before ...

Pros: To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question.
Cons: Camera body alone won't do the trick. Doesn't come with CompactFlash memory.

For the last 2 years, I have put my Digital Rebel 6mp through it's paces. As a "semi-pro" photographer, I've experimented with a wide range of conditions (light, temperatures, distance) and have been quite happy with my Rebel. It's given me four photos ...

Pros: Light weight, long battery life, easy to use, excellent performance
Cons: Compact Flash memory not included, but besides that nothing else I can think of

I got this camera over a year ago as a birthday present to myself. My girlfriend was treating me to a "safari" at the Wild Animal Park and I figured, what the heck why not splurge! So I bought the camera with the 18-55mm Kit Lens. I already had several ...

Pros: great color, great images, 10.1 mega-pixel
Cons: cost a bit more but worth it

The first digital camera I have been happy with. The color of the images captured by this camera are excellent. This camera is also fast. This an excellent camera. This camera has increased my ability to take sharp images. The reds and greens on ...

Pros: Great pictures, long battery life, allows a beginner to 'grow' with the camera.
Cons: Expensive repairs! CFC card can bend pins internally if you're not EXTREMELY careful!

I really like this camera overall. It's simple enough that you can hand it off to someone to take a snap shot with very little explanation or 'dial it up' for more professional type situations. I've had this camera for about 1 1/2 years now and it's been ...

Pros: Durable,size, image quality,feature rich, great in low light. Everything about this camera is GREAT!!
Cons: None - It is a GREAT Machine!

I was in the market for a new digital slr; the only two 'real' options were either Canon, or Nikon in my mind. Originally, after viewing many user reviews, I had my heart set on an Nikon d80. I loved the feel, and the size, and the features of the d80, ...

Pros: Very comparable to higher end cameras. Uses excellent Canon lenses.
Cons: Poor ISO performance past 800. It could be more ergonomic.

The rebel xti is a pretty decent and very capable beginner digital single lens reflux camera. In fact, I would say that this camera is about 90% as good as the higher end professional $1000 and up cameras. Why is that? It is because there two factors ...

Pros: Lightweight, powerful 10.1 MP imaging, excellent battery life.
Cons: Soft plastic skin may scratch easily; a little pricey

I absolutely love the Canon Rebel XTi digital SLR camera. I traded in a terrific film camera, a Canon EOS 1V for this one that I hoped would at least come close to the craftsmanship and high level performance I was used to. Boy, was I impressed. The XTi ...

Pros: Picture quality, megapixels, lenses, battery life/charging
Cons: body size, viewfinder size, slight underexposure

Yes I loved the camera. I loved the features and the capabilities. What I did not like and it's based on my Canon ELAN IIE 35mm SLR is the smaller viewfinder and smaller body. The viewfinder doesn't seem to be properly placed i.e. my nose constantly ...

Pros: Good image quality Wide range of accessories Fast RAW capture
Cons: Noticeable noise above 800 ISO Not as nice as the Nikons Slightly over-priced

Not a bad camera at all. This is my first D-SLR but as a Photojournalism major currently in college I have the opportunity to work with SLRs of all kinds. If you are trying to decide between this and a high-end "prosumer" non-SLR camera it's no ...
