"This is a solid camera that provides a lot of bang for the buck."
Pros: Resolution, DIGIC II processor, super-fast boot up time, fast shutter speed and FPS
Cons: A little small, which causes the controls to be crowded
Summary: I have been using a Canon PowerShot G3 for a couple of years and it was a great camera, but I was outgrowing it and I decided to make the jump to SLRs. The two cameras that immediately jumped at me were the Rebel XT and the Nikon D70. The Nikon has ... read more >>

Pros: instant on. speed. intuitive.
Cons: The worst lens Canon could possibly have chosen
Summary: I love the camera but I really wish I had just gotten the body (without the kit lens). Do yourself a favor and research lenses before you buy. In a very exhaustive survey of several hundred lenses Canon's 18-55 was near the very bottom. Canon, Si... read more >>

Cons: Too Small, Shoddy Construction, Menu Viewing & Navigation
Summary: After a few months of reseaching digital cameras, the Digital Rebel XT was top on my list to purchase, until I actually held and used the camera. Mind you, the in camera processing of pictures is excellent, very similar to a point and shoot, but wh... read more >>

"Best option for advanced amateurs looking for more control than a Point & Shoot can give"
Pros: Excellent compromise on size, superb image quality, better build quality than original Digital Rebel, shutter sound better sounding that more expensive Canon 20D
Cons: Smaller size may be a problem for some, battery and CF door is flimsy
Summary: The size of the camera will be a constant point of debate for this camera. Canon had to strike a compromise between making it small enough for portability, and large enough to be comfortable to hold. I have average size hands and its perfect size fo... read more >>
