Strength:
Fast auto focus. Easy to use Auto modes. Easy to learn Manual modes. Works with any EOS compatible lens. Well written manual.
Weakness:
A little heavy to carry all day, especially with a 300mm lens. I bought the Rebel GII kit with Quantaray 28-90mm and 100-300mm lenses to replace my trusty old Kalimar manual, which had developed a light leak. The Rebel is without a doubt the best camera I've ever picked up. I should have spent the extra money years ago and got a Canon instead of the cheaper Kalimar. The auto functions are very handy and exposures are accurate, whether shooting outdoor action, indoor portraits, or night scenes without flash. The manual controls were easy to learn and are well designed. The autofocus is fast and accurate, but does sometimes get confused between foreground and background objects, especially if they are high contrast. A quick flip to manual focus solves this. I've run about 20 rolls through the Rebel so far and I've not been disappointed. This is a great camera! Customer Service Haven't needed yet.
