This 8mp Canon Rebel is a convenient, lightweight DSLR at an affordable price. Megapixels are only half the equation, lenses the other. The Rebel can use both the EF-S lenses native to the Rebel, but also the EF lenses I have for my D-30 and my autofocus Canon film cameras. I bought it because I had an 18-55 EF-S lens I coundn't use on my D-30 that wouldn't autofocus. Luckily I found a Rebel body whose autofocus didn't work. It works fine in Manual focus, ( it takes a light touch),all other functions work fine. I use it as much as my D-30 and my Nikon D100.

This camera offers a good value in the used market. I've been using Canon cameras for over 30 years and I've been pleased with all of the bodies I've owned. This camera is no exception. My two complaints about the camera are it's size and the burst rate. My hands are large and I find that small size and controls can be a little awkward. I've got a 1DmkII that is considerably larger and (to me) easier to handle. The burst rate/buffer while not bad for the $$$, are on the slow side and I found myself waiting on the buffer to clear while shooting high school football. This camera won't ever replace my 1D, but it is great as a light little camera to grab and go when I don't need the buffer burst of the 1D and won't more than a "point and shoot." The image quality is very good and the features (and accessories) are way more than adequate. I've also purchased a Canon XT Digital Rebel for my daughter and it seems to be virtually the same camera, just has XT on the front instead of 350D..... All in all, if you are ready to move up from a "point and shoot," this camera is great starting place. If you're looking for a second (or third) CANON body that is very compact and light, this is a good choice. If you're looking to get into shooting professionally, this isn't a great choice. As others have stated, I also recommend purchasing an upgrade lens over the stock 18-55mm that Canon chose to package this guy with.Read full review
I bought the canon EOS 350D and even I knew most of the features available on this item I'm still impress with what it has to offer. Great quality of picture, the camera is a used mint item but looks like new, as describe. The size is perfect for carrying specially for me with small hands and the battery has a pretty good lifespan. I should now consider buying a tele lens but for the moment the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 is great to practice and with the 4GB card that was include I can practice a lot. Overall, I'd recommend the canon EOS 350D especially if you want a good camera and in reasonable budget.
I've been wanting a DSLR for quite a while, but until now couldn't afford one. The last 35mm camera I bought was an EOS 35MM camera, specifically because the film-based camera used the same lens mount as the digital versions. Since I bought this one used, the technology has improved considerably. Yes, it's only 8MP, but that's more than enough for most amateurs like myself. The main advantage you get from a higher MP count is the ability to make much larger prints. My only real complaint about this particular camera is the tiny LCD panel. Current EOS digital cameras have a 2.5 - 3" display. The display on this one is about 1.5" or so. About all you can do is confirm you got an image. Judging the sharpness, etc., has to wait until you download the photos to your computer.
Great dSLR camery body for getting started into taking real photos. Size is 3/5 for my hands, but if you prefer a body small sized to Your packpack or having smaller hands than this is 5/5. Features is also 3/5 because it is an older model. No liveView, no sensor cleaning, but with CHDK You can get an even smarter camera then the 20D! (not the AF speed but timelapse, shuttercount, spot metering(!) )
What do you get with you combine a "back in the day" thousand dollar camera with a classic used Celestron 6 inch C6-N ? A cost effective way to study and learn astronomy and applied astro-photography. Add in the classic Canon remote for under one dollar, a Canon type T2 adapter, and Dayton #5P0012, with the DANE-ELEC CompactFlash 8GB, and you're ready to rule the stars...in your own backyard. I couldn't be more pleased with the offerings of fellow E-bayer's, providing us with the bones; behind cost effective back yard science, and experimentation for a fraction of the cost over 10 years ago. I recommend to any one person considering stepping into Astrophotography - to make a quantum leap backwards, into the cost effective realm of when CCD and CMOS was first intelligently designed into the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D SLR, before tossing their cookies into a very expensive hobby in today's dollars and sense. You've heard, "look before you leap", now you've read "quantum leap backwards". And you read it here. As a first image, I decided to use the auto settings, and "flash" photography - imaging the clouds. This is a one off, and took four attempts. Any follow up will be used to learn manual imaging, and subsequently, night time photography of the stars and planets.Read full review

I love this camera so far! It takes beautiful pictures, and is easy to use with basic photography and camera knowledge. I had a 35mm canon, and the lenses and accessories I had for that transitioned smoothly to this camera body. I still have not had the time to sit down with the manual and really learn about this camera. But I am VERY happy with it initially!
LOVE this camera. Was wanting a camera that had a faster shutter speed and opted to get a dslr. Didn't want to pay a hefty price for one either. After researching, went with this one and am very pleased with it. It is so easy to use. It has alot of auto modes for the beginner (I shoot in manual). I have the kit lens and a Quantaray 200mm. Very happy with picture quality too! When time to upgrade, will buy another Canon for sure!
This camera may be 3 or 4 years old but it still delivers the goods. It's 8.2 megapixel sensor and legendary Canon quality make it a 'çamera for all'with it's varied shooting modes and sophisticated controlabilty. You can use it like an advvanced 'point and shoot' or have full control with various auto modes or even full manual. despite it being a couple of models behind the current Digital rebel series it is still a capable performer and the current EOS Rebel XS doesn't really offer much advantage for double the price. Sure you get an extra 2 megapixels and a larger view screen - but the Rebel XT (EOS 350D) is a proven and capable performer. I highly recommend this as a first DSLR. Bravo Canon!
I have had several digital cameras before, including DSLRs. I had a lens and memory cards(from my former Canon 40D) and the Rebel XT came with a photo gear backpack, battery grip and extra batteries charger and other things, and I mainly looked at a bag to hold my gear. The image quality really surprised me, and I used various cameras that were newer and supposedly much better. My other camera is a Nikon D90 with 12.3 MP. A coworker also purchased the camera with kit lens and has been very happy. Really an excellent value considering i got a great photo bag and the battery grip and batteries with it.
