  1. Short Report: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

    Reviewer: PCPhoto
    28 May 2009

    I took the EOS Digital Rebel XT to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park earlier this year and was able to fit the camera with three lenses (a Canon EF 70-300mm DO zoom, a Canon EF-S 60mm macro and a Tamron 11-18mm wide-angle zoom) into a small waistpack. Read more

  2. Canon Digital Rebel XT (350d) Review

    Reviewer: Taylorwilsdon

    The one complaint that many have is that the body is quite small. This might be a good fit for people with small hands who need a lighter body, but for people with big hands, the grip is not totally natural. With Canon’s optional BG-E3 battery grip, the camera is a much more manageable size and much more comfortable in my opinion. Again, its a small quip to have with an excellent camera at a ridiculously low price. Read more

    Initial Impressions of the Canon Rebel XT The Canon Rebel XT is small. I know the specifications give you the size, but there's nothing like picking up the camera and holding it. In fact for me the Canon Rebel XT is on the verge of being too small. Now I'm a 6ft male, so my hands are, I guess, fairly large. If I was a 5ft female, maybe the size would be perfect. The image below shows the Canon Digital Rebel XT compared to several other cameras: As you can see, the Rebel... Read more

    I have had to fight with my camera to get things in focus. I have sent it back to Canon, they repair it and it works for around 2mths then it's out again. When this camera is working it is a great camera, crisp pics, easy to use. Not sure I would suggest anyone to purchase. Read more

    I have a lot of fun using this camera.\_ Although I am not a professional photographer, I am simply an amateur but I have no trouble figuring out how to use the basic features of the camera.\_ Using the camera in no-flash mode results in gorgeous pictures, but a camera stand is recommended if using the camera in this mode.\_ I bought this particular product because of what I had heard about it from other people and because I like the brand Canon.\_ The Canon Digital...

    Up to this point in my ownership of the camera---two years---I have been quite happy with this camera as a camera to get into photography with. I have pulled quite a few shots I have been extremely impressed with. However, I was recently performing some lens sharpness testing, and in the middle of it, my mirror lock-up feature stopped working: it would not record an image at all while that custom function was enabled. I called Canon's technical support number, and the... Read more
