Review on Canon Rebel DSLR 18 55Mm MODEL by Katie Peters

I bought the very first Digital Rebel (300D) and loved it. I have bought the Rebel T1i and T2i and love them. I buy a new DSLR every two years whether I need it or not. The Canon T4i is another great camera at a reasonable price that offers some of the features you would expect from cameras costing hundreds of dollars more. As far as I can tell, the image quality is one of the best and the new touchscreen makes using the camera easier than ever. If anyone is looking to buy their first DSLR, I would have no hesitation or hesitation in recommending this camera. The button layout is more intuitive than some other brands I've seen, and the included software adds value that any user will appreciate. This camera's new focus system is great for videos. I shot some videos with the Canon EFS 15-85 zoom lens and found the results to be as good as I had hoped. If this is your first DSLR I would recommend buying it with the 18-135 STM lens as the versatility for both photos and videos is second to none. Update 05/01/2013 I use this camera daily and it never ceases to amaze me. I just bought an 18-55 IS STM lens and it works very well. This is way better than the standard kit lens. This is the best combo for video, as the total weight with the lens mounted is under the 2-pound limit for most budget video stabilizers. I've also started handheld night shots, this will make it very easy to capture the Christmas lights this December.
