Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black): Customer Reviews & Product Details

My daughter just loves this easy to use, high quality camera! Takes it everywhere!

The Canon XS is the best camera I have owned so far. It has a lot of options, many of which I have not used to date, but I will be taking a class at the local community college that will show me what it can do that I have not yet done. I just find it hard to sit down and read a manual that is close to 150 pages long. I'd just as soon read the tax codes.

Excelent for starter user's. I really recommend Canon Rebel XS for people that love photography and don't wanna to have a simple digital camera... You just need to buy another lens, like Canon EF 55-250 mm, so you'll have more mobility!

In my family we've just used the point and shoot variety of digital cameras, but when my daughter began talking a strong interest in photography we upgraded. Now it's hard to be satisfied with my point and shoot when I see the pictures she gets from this camera. Looks like I am going to be upgrading too.

I use a simple remote timer with this camera and shoot time lapse sequences I assemble in 1080P. This is one of the cleanest cameras I have shot with 1600ISO. No grain noise when playing 24 frames a second back. Amazing, continuous shooting at 1fps in HQ jpeg. Only downside is live view does not have hdmi output to check for sensor dust. I own several camera bodies, and things that slow down regular cleaning of bodies eat more time. So you have to check for sensor dust the old way, by shooting a white image and loading sd card to computer.

The camera is so light and cheap, I can have more lens attached to bodies, and not have to change lens in the field which lessons chances of sensor dust. I would rather have 3 of these bodies for shooting stills with different lens on each one then one 7d body with just one lens. Heck you can almost buy 4 of these for what one 7D cost.
