Review on 📷 Canon Rebel XTi DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens (Previous Edition) by Luis Green

I've been using Canon cameras since the first Canon AE-1 in the 1980's. More recently I have had several Canon digital cameras. This is the first DSLR I've owned and it's just an amazing camera. As soon as I turn on the camera, it's ready to use. I use lenses from my Canon EOS camera from a few years ago and they work great with the Digital Rebel XTi. The only difference is that the effective focal length is slightly longer, so a 35mm lens on a Digital Rebel is the same as a 50mm lens on a film camera. This camera has MANY controls to easily change film speed. (up to ISO 1600), focus points and other settings. I played with the camera for the first week to quickly get used to the changes. I also bought and read the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D Digital Field Guide to learn more about the camera. This is MUCH better than just the instruction manual that came with the camera. The camera takes FAST pictures, even when using the flash. The flash is strong enough that I see a lot less red-eye. I tried using lower resolution settings and found that even the medium setting produced very sharp images with lots of detail. If the Digital Rebel stays on, it goes into a low-power mode and is ready to shoot as soon as you press the shutter button. . I left it on for more than 2 days and still found there was plenty of power left in the battery. So far I've been able to leave the camera on and take over 300 shots without completely draining the battery. If you're going to use this camera to shoot raw, you'll need a LARGE memory card. I bought a Kingston 2GB CompactFlash memory card with a camera, fast and fairly large capacity. When I use raw mode, the camera captures a large format JPG image along with the raw image. With a 2GB card, you'll have enough space for around 100 pictures, compared to over 550 in Large mode alone. So you should consider a 4GB Kingston CompactFlash memory card. The colors in the shots are really pleasing, with nice skin tones, even when using the flash. Rebel has many different photo modes, but I mostly stick with P where it chooses both aperture and shutter speed. I can use the little wheel just behind the shutter button to easily change them for more speed or more depth of field. I am very glad that I chose this camera and look forward to many years of happy shooting with it.
