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(!) )
