Summary: Great beginner SLR!
Comment: Purchased for $180 back in Nov 2003, I fell in love with the easy to use Canon Rebel 2000 and together we learned about photography. The autofocusing points help to guide the photographer and the various photo modes expand the abilities of this tough little camera. From close ups of flowers and butterflies to a night football game loaded with action to serene still portraits, the Rebel does a great job of helping the amateur shutterbug take great pictures.
There were some concerns about the construction of its body, but the Rebel and I have been to the beach, dog park, camping, playgrounds, hiking, ball games, horseback riding (galloping!), and more - and it has completely held up well with the swinging, banging, and action of use.
I've made the switch to the Canon Digital Rebel XTi and a pocket sized Canon PowerShot Elph, but while the instant gratification of the digital era is nice, the best capturing of the light and mood, which is usually the distinction between a good photo and a great photo, still goes to my original Rebel. My original Rebel remains more portable and easier to use with better pictures than the bigger digital cousin, which is why I use my digital camera less often than I would use my film Rebel.

Comment: I received the camera and it didn't work. I need to find out how to rectify

Summary: Great Camera for beginners
Comment: Unlike a lot of reports about grainy pictures and what not; this camera is really top notch! This is my first camera and I got some really great shots already, the grainy complaint was probably due to people using a higher ISO and not knowing much about camera settings. You'll definitely want a zoom lens though, the 28-80mm is nice for normal everyday things, but if you really want to experiment try looking for a 28-300 or even a 70-300mm lens.
Definitely recommended for amateurs.

Summary: Another great product from Canon
Comment: I had this camera for years before it was stolen and I replaced it with a digital Canon SLR. I am still amazed at the abuse I put my Rebel 2000 through. It has a nice light body, a great auto feature, and easy-enough to use manual functions. And because of the popularity (and rightly so) of digital these days, you can pick one up for a fantastic price, even brand spanking new.

Summary: Excellent Camera: Easily beats a Digital camera for its price
Comment: I have had this camera for about 4 yrs now - I take it on all my business travels.
Whenever I get a chance to go out on on the weekends, I take this camera and my Sony camcorder in my backpack, roam the streets of the new city and shoot pictures. The pictures that I shoot from this camera are just awesome - no matter whatever experiment I do with it.
Most useful features:
1. Aperture control with Depth of field preview
- Lets to focus the foreground and blur the background
2. Shutter speed control upto infinity
- Lets you control the amount of time for which the shutter can be kept open
3. It is pretty rugged, dont try dropping it :) I have used it to shoot pics from 'Maid of the mist' in Niagara falls and I almost thought that I was going to lose it. But it worked liked a charm
Negatives
- Bulky, but you will get used to it, it always gets attention
- Cost of developing film - What I do these days is to just get the photos on a CD, then develop only those photographs that are good.
Why is this camera better than a Digital Camera ?
- If you are spending $200 on a Digital Camera, I feel that the SLR is way far too ahead of any Digital camera in that price range
- If you are spending $1000 on a Digital Camera, a Digital SLRs are very mature today - worth buying.
Ideally, I would buy this SLR, take this whenever I really want to take good photographs, then I would also want to have a $100 Kodak Digital Camera for casual shots. This would mean an ideal combination.
If you are buying this SLR, you can also consider buying a Film/Photo scanners (available for less than $150 now) - which lets you scan the negatives/positives without even going for a cheap CD print. From the reviews what I read on amazon, these scanners must be amazing.
