    Canon Digital Rebel XT DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black) (OLD MODEL)

    • ~260 finest JPEG photosSmall complaints - brightest LCD setting still dark in sunlight - auto white balance gets it wrong once in a while
    • many reviewers are increasingly critical of this unit for its small LCD screen and lack of video recording but please keep in mind those were options many consumers in 2005 did not want or need
    • The LCD however, is very difficult to see in sunlight as compared to the D70 which has a better qulity LCD.Picture quality: to the naked eye..the pictures are fantastic
    • LCD can be hard to see (both pictures and camera settings) in bright sunlight
    • I bought this camera even though the XTi was out because the dust reduction and larger LCD didn't seem to justify an additional $175
    • ~260 finest JPEG photosSmall complaints - brightest LCD setting still dark in sunlight - auto white balance gets it wrong once in a while
    • I do also notice the LCD is more blurry since I got used to reading it straight on using the original, you need to hold it at an angle.
    • It isn't weather-sealed, but neither is the 20D.Like others have noted, the LCD is hard to read in direct sunlight.
    • You will never be sorry buying good L line lenses over the cheap stuff with so-so reviews.
    • - I like CF though b/c you can buy the larger CF type 2 cards - I got the 6GB card - can take about 1500 pics on highest quality.
    • I had been preferring the D70 b/c of the "better" kit lens.
    • The XT is great for isolating subjects in the shot.+ Battery lasts far longer than any other digital cameras I've had (I suspect b/c it lacks the preview window)
    • The XT doesn't feel as durable and substantial as the Pentax *ist D, or the Nikon D70, or some of the offerings from Minolta and Olympus.
    • So go to you local camera store and take a couple of sample shots with the different D-SLRs available before buying online.
    • -SLR.The body gets five stars for meeting the goal of a nicely capable D-SLR that tends to get slight nods over any other, such as Nikon's D40 series, which comes with a reasonable lens
    • Priced right, unlike some overpriced D-SLR out there, probably because Canon sells many more units.6
