"In March, I decided to get into digital photography and purchase a DSLR. Because most of my friends are Canon users, I didn't have to make the usual decision between brands. The advice I received was to invest money in lenses instead of the camera body. This way, I could continue to use lenses as I advanced and also get higher quality shots with better glass. Also, with the minimum investment, if I could master the basics on the basic DSLR, I could upgrade in the future.

~20,000 shots later I am more than satisfied with the use of the XS. Remember how much you are paying. I also purchased the nifty fifty, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens with the original purchase. Using that lens (along with the kit lens), I was able to learn a lot and develop my skills.

I've heard others with bad stories dealing with Canon customer service, but mine was perfect. I've now invested in other prime lenses. I may upgrade in the future for specs like better ISO noise management or faster shooting rates, but this camera is more than sufficient.

Regardless of the camera you end up choosing, just shoot (many) photos and learn from them. Learn from others. Learn from photographers all around the world (flickr, etc.) For me, Rebel XS was just the camera to bring me into the world of photography!"

"I am a professional videographer and artist and have been using Cannon products for 6 years now. I have never had a problem with a Cannon camera, and I have found that their design is to give YOU the control that you need, not what they assume you are going to use it for.
This camera is intended for professional use, that is why it costs so much. You have control over pretty much anything and everything. It has an interchangeable lens. So you can use telephoto or macro (or even fish eye.) It has control over your autofocus nodes so that your target can be crisp and clear instead of your standard AF troubles.

The SLR means that anything you see through the viewfinder is exactly what is going to be imaged. So, no more of those point-and-shoot head chopping issues.

This is not a point and shoot. It lacks a lot of the useless junk... like the crummy video mode (what is the point of that anyway?) and the other pre-installed features that assume you know nothing about photography or just don't care.

With ISO mode used properly, you will never have another muddy dark picture (unless you are shooting in perfect darkness) or have those blasted-out "living on the surface of the sun" shots.

At 10 megapixels, the quality is great. It is high enough that you could produce a poster size before it starts losing integrity. (Higher mega-pixel cameras may come along, but this camera will age well. I estimate that you will get a good 10 years out of this before it is obsolete.) I got this one because I did not want to pay for a bunch of features that I am never going to use. It is the lowest on Cannon's line of professional cameras, but it is a pretty darn good price. You can get an additional 2 Megapixels for $200 more. But if you are on a tight budget, definitely consider this camera.

Note: Make sure you buy a UV filter. This isn't really for the UV protection but because it is a cheap way of protecting your lens from scratches. Get it, and put it on right away. "
