Lightweight, ease of use. Good price.

Plasticky feel to it. Needs to have longer settings for timed exposures beyond 30 seconds. And getting accustomed to the various settings. Avoid using long length lenses due to its light weight.

So far, I find the TI a pleasant camera to use. I had to use it for a function where I had to shoot people photos and I was very pleased with the results. It's a lightweight number (as compared to my "brick" the EOS 650), and I plan to get a compact zoom for it. Yes, the camera does feel cheap and it's not as rugged and optionally-endowed as its bigger brothers (the EOS 1,3, etc), but so far, the TI has served me well. Its large LCD info screen and built-in diopters are very helpful. And as a pro, I find the camera a refreshing change from all the "overkill" cameras on the market.

Light weight, great outdoor photos, easy to hold and great for beginners like me!!

None so far...except for the funny thing with the flash when in low-light...very annoying!!

I love to take pictures. I know nothing about photography, but I am trying to learn. I am writing this for all of you out there that also want to take good pictures, but don't really know the photography jargon. This is a GREAT camera! Right now I use it on full auto b/c I am a novice. It allows me to take beautiful pictures without having a clue about light and shutter speeds. I had always used a point and shoot and wanted something better to get good photos of my children. My husband gave me this camera for Christmas b/c it came highly recommended from the camera shop where he bought it. He also purchased the 420 EX Speedlite, which I like. And after reading other reviews about the built-in flash I now know why the Speedlite came recommended as well. I am slowly but surely learning more about Ti's manual settings. This is a great camera for a beginner,b/c you get great results on automatic mode and you can slowly learn how to work it manually and be more creative with your picture taking.

Features, looks, price, design.

Build quality.

I bought the Rebel Ti with it's partner lens. At first I was worried that it's non-USM would be slow and ineffective. On the contrary, it's just as fast as USMs I've used. It is dazzled with features and for it's price is very good. The only complaint I have is the poor build quality of the both the camera body and its lens. Although, it's supposed to be light-weight, which it is, it feels like I could snap it in two. I have dropped it once before, however, and it withstood the fall without and internal damage.

Maybe a focus searchlight(For flashlight photography) as in the Nikon N55 won't be a bad idea.

Go for it! Amazing little camera with a host of features packed in. The partial metering is a great improvement over other Canon EOS predecessors. I've always like the way Minolta does its metering but was amazed to find that Canon matches and exceeds my older Minolta in performance. And to sign off..the TI looks deceptively weak in construction. I can vouch for the fact as I dropped it on concrete and just had to put up with a tiny ding and a couple of scratches. No problems whatsover with its performance.

Fast Autofocus Bp-220 batt pack ease of use Back lighting panel One hand usage Seven autofocus points that light up when autofocus is acchieved!

Does not accept old non brand lenses. Poor vertical handeling without Battery pack! Looks like a digital camera. Feels slightly cheap. Will scrach easly and will show up clearly. Flash that is built in is flimsy. Release button to open back of camera a bit tricky.

I bought this camera with great expetations,and was a bit dissapointed.But it is still a big improvement from my first Rebel camera.The camera autofocus is fast which you always need when taking pictures of fast aircraft which i do so often.The only other problem i had is that the camera mulfuntions with older Sigma and Tamron lenses,my 75-300 Sigma that is a 96 model does not work.So now i must buy the 90-300 canon USM lens.Which i cant afford at this time.Otherwize a very easy camera to work,and i would aslo recomend the BP-220 battery pack,it has also i vertical shutter button which is very helpful.

Looks good (don't tell me this doesn't matter :)) Light Nice comfortable ergonomic design - feels just right in your hands Indeed can be operated with one hand Film prewind (quite a wise thing) Quite fast continious shooting Very, very smooth shutter release and mirror clap Really fast autofocus Comfortable choice of focusing points and program shift Exposure metering works nicely, delivers nicely exposed pictures in various, including backlight, conditions. Depth-of-field preview comfortably located Big lightable rear LCD panel Metal lens mount (not a big deal, though)

Uses CR2 batteries (consider buying BP-220 battery pack - it's handy) No manual autofocus mode switch No real spotmetering (allthough partial metering is sufficient in most cases) Plastic build - won't take beating Weak built-in flash mechanism

Briefly - I am very satisfied. Can't imagine anything better for the price. Important: I did NOT buy the bundled 28-90 lens, just body only. I use Canon 28-80 USM and Sigma 28-300.

Photo Quality

I am dissappointed to say that overall, I was not very happy with the Rebel Ti. Before using the camera I read through the material and familiarized myself with all the various functions and settings. The layout is nice, the weight and ergonomics were impressive, however, the quality of my photos were not. I shot my first roll (Kodak G 200) half indoor with a flash, and half outdoor. All shots were grainy and not nearly the quality I am used to from my 1986 Minolta Maxxim. SLR. On subsequent rolls I tried using other settings, but the photos did not improve. Many shots were not in focus, or grainy even using the auto modes.

Fast auto focus. Price. Features.

Plastic feel. Can't make any sense of the autofocus points in the viewfinder.

Good camera, although it feels cheap. I used this at a biker party a couple weeks ago, and it performed well. It focused very quickly which is a requirement at an event such as this. Using Fuji Reala 100 and the built-in flash, I got very good pictures from it. Also carried the camera back & forth to work for a few days and managed to capture some beautiful sunrise shots. The kit lens (28-90) seems to perform well under most conditions, although I would opt for a good prime. Have been a Canon user for years, starting with the AE1P, and on to the EOS 620. I have to say I like the 620 better due to the better quality build.

- Controlls at fingertips - Great display panel - Value - Date model's sensor coupled with RC-1 - BP220 battery pack using NiMH batteries - Coupled with 220EX = superb low light focusing - Fast continous shooting (esp with bp220)

- yet to encounter a real weakness that cannot be overcome with canon's extensive range of accessories.

I bought the eos300v DATE (rebel Ti) for $550 AUS just as it was released in Australia. I was looking to buy the eos300 (rebel) though took the chance on the new model. I have only once been let down by the Ti. I highly recomend the date model to anyone who intends on using the camera for long exposures as the date model comes with an ifrared sensor on the grip which allows you to use the RC-1. This small remote is neatly attached to the neck strap and is very handy indeed. It has a documented range of 5m though will work up to 7m or so with fresh batts. Another accessory that I have just found extreemly usefull and cost effective is the BP 220 (battery pack). It allows me to use NiMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargeables which cost only $20 AUS for 4 of them, compared to $10 AUS each for the crappy CR2's. I am yet to see how long the NiMH (1850 mAh) last in the camera but it is sure to be long enough. The bp220 (loaded with 4 x NiMh's) adds needed weight to the Rebel Ti taking that lightweight feel away, replacing it with an easier to hold (especially in vert format) more comfortable camera. Other pro's include one hand operation with all the essential controlls being at your right forefinger and thumb, and of course the rear display. For those who say the camera hunts in low light and often gives people headaches due to the strobing flash (the camera uses a stobing style light to help focus in low light) I highly recomend one of the canon SPEEDlights. I own the 220EX (the smallest of the three). THis little flash is very compact and has guide number roughly double that of the camera's flash. In low light is where it really shines (mind the pun). It will focus on objects that you may not even see through the view finder due to the 220ex sending out it's own Infrared beam which allows very fast focusing even in near pitch black conditions. I have the now discontinued (what a silly thing canon did) 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 II USM lens which has done well. I have had small probs with vignetting as you can only have one filter attached at a time even when at 50-80mm. I always have a uv on the lens so i have to take it off and put circ poloar or whatever filter i am using on, then take it off, put back uv etc etc. painfull but probably unavoidable in such lenses. The only letdown i have had using the rebel Ti was one occasion where it exposed for a background instead of the brightly illuminated object which was a tiger at a zoo. Though i had no excuse because at my finger tip is the exposure lock which was not used in that instance :(

Automatic metering.

Using this camera in the manual mode, which is the only setting which allows the meter to average the incomming light, I found the results to be excellent. My regular use camera is a Nikon F2AS and I found that the photographs from the Canon were very good in this mode. However, I did not like the quality of photos using any of the automatic modes.
