Great affordable way to get into DSLR photography
First things first. I've been a film photographer for the past decade or so, and have always loved the look of film and the feel of old solid, steady cameras. That said, I've always wanted to get into the digital realm if only for the ease of use. It's so much more convenient to take a few hundred pictures before you change the memory card, as opposed to taking 36 (Maybe 37) and changing a roll. That's not even talking about medium format which you might only get 8 shots a roll.
So convenience being my big factor, this camera has in droves. It is by far the easiest camera (outside of my P&S) that gives well exposed, colorful pictures. Even though it only has an 8 megapixel sensor, For most things you won't notice the lack of resolution. Even though it doesn't have the 15 megapixel like it's newer younger brother, You'll still be able to happily get 11X14 prints with no trouble. I've even done a couple at 20X30 without issue.
The most important factor about any camera system is the lenses. By buying a currently more affordable camera, I've kept more money to buy better lenses.
So nice, high quality pictures, easy to use, affordable, can use the nice lenses for more expensive bodies.
Unfortunately, there are a couple downsides. Coming from film, I got used to the EOS thumbwheel on the back of the camera to adjust the aperture in manual mode. Doesn't seem like much, but once you get used to a system, it's second nature to keep looking for it. The other downside is how small the camera is. It's almost too small for me. I have large hands, and though I've gotten used to the size of the grip, it's definitely not for everyone. I'll probably be getting the battery grip within a couple months to make it a bit easier to hold.
Overall, great camera, only a couple gripes. The image quality makes up for any downsides in my opinion. If you're used to the thumbwheel from earlier EOS cameras, go for the 20d, but otherwise, you can't go wrong with the Rebel XT (350d)
Good luck and happy bidding!
