This camera is great 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I have taken some great photos on this camera. Its come down in price since I got mine a year ago so its even better value now. Good lenes are not cheap so expect to spend the same amaount again just on a couple of good lenses but for around $5k you should aquire a good kit. Battery life is very good. Build quality is strong. This is the one a lot of pros use. Only problem is when you fill up a memory stick with a bunch of 13meg photos, make sure you have a good enough PC to view them on because it sure slows down to a near halt. That's where a MAC comes in use.

Canon has made another excellent camera 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The Rebel XT is an excellent base digital SLR. It is easy enough for a beginner photographer to use, but it allows more advanced users the freedom to express themselves with manual controls. It takes great photos and the battery lasts a long time. I've taken over 500 photos (without the flash) on a single charge. An excellent camera.
Canon repair, Hope you don't need it!! 2 out of 5 stars.

When I received this camera I took a lot of test shots, they were quite impressive. I didn't use the camera for about a week and found it didn't work because of a dead battery, even though it had been fully charged.
I bought a spare battery thinking it may have been defective, same thing even though I made sure the battery was fully charged and the camera was off.
I then searched the online forums and found that this was a fairly common problem. When I called Canon support they first tried to blame it on something I had done. I told them that there were numerous people with the same problem and canon should be aware of it and asked if they had a download that could fix it.
Their reply was to remove the battery except when I was using the camera. I said: "That is was not acceptable as too often once in a lifetime shots would be missed while fumbling to install a battery."
It was agreed that I should RMA the camera and although it was still under warranty it cost $$ to insure and ship it.
When it was finally returned (I missed all the holiday pics) they claimed to have re-soldered a circuit board and replaced the tripod socket.
I don't believe they did anything and now the little latch that holds the battery in place is worn out and I use a rubber band to hold the battery in. It still takes good pictures though.

Your life is full of priceless, fleeting moments that you want to keep just the way you see and feel them. Preserve each moment with the E-520. With the E-520's Live View, you can shoot your subject while viewing it on the LCD monitor, so it's just like shooting with a compact camera. In addition to phase-difference detection AF, the E-520 incorporates a high speed Imager AF that offers easy 11-point multi-area autofocusing with Live View simply by half-pressing the shutter button. Face Detection AF automatically detects up to 8 faces at a time and adjusts focus appropriately. Accurate composition is assured by the monitor's 100% field of view. The E-520 is equipped with a 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD monitor with high-definition 230,000-dot resolution, improved contrast ratio, and enhanced color reproduction capability. While shooting with Live View, framing-assist patterns or a histogram can be displayed on the LCD monitor to improve your picture composition and check exposure condition. The E-520 incorporates a Live MOS sensor with 10-Megapixels, Olympus' original TruePic III image processing engine delivers improved imaging, gradation expression and color reproduction capabilities as well as minimized noise at high ISO setting. Olympus' highly acclaimed dust reduction system employs a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the image sensor, which vibrates at such high speed and with such great power that it removes even the most stubborn dust; dust that cannot be removed by just shaking the image sensor or by discharging the static electricity.

Here is my contribution to the Sigma DP1 users review in the form of a question to you, potential buyer :-)
What do you prefer?
I. A compact cam from a well known and respected manufacturer with all the latest bells and whistles and designed around a small and crappy bayer matrix sensor producing noisy and lifeless images consistently?
Or
II. A compact cam from a more humble brand with average operational performance, designed around an excellent prime lens and a 7 times larger sensor producing amazing results that will make you love doing photography again?
I answered II.
Editorial Review:
The DP1 is a completely new type of camera offering the full specs and high image quality of a DSLR in the body of a compact camera. It is powered by the 14-megapixel Foveon X3 direct-image-sensor, which can reproduce high-definition images rich in gradation and impressive three-dimensional detail. It is possible to record images in RAW or the widely used JPEG in four resolution modes. It offers five Exposure modes and three Metering modes as well as being equipped with a built-in flash with the Guide Number of 6, hot shoe, neck strap and 2.5-inch TFT color LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. The DP1 has the high resolution and functionality of an SLR, plus adaptability in terms of accessories, all built into a small body.

Puts any rebel to shame 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
People can show off their Rebel tsi and say it has 12 megapixels, but you can show off your 30d and say, "mine's not cheap plastic." This camera is perfect for a semi-pro, student, or just about anyone who can afford it. I warn you not to buy it from DBROTH though. They scammed me out of 99.99 dollars worth of photoshop, and I'm still trying to settle it with them. The hi-speed shooting is great for my hobby of shooting skate pictures. I think my customer image is number 82 or something. If you want to use it for landscapes, you'll need to get something with a really wide angle, because of the 1.6 cropping factor. If you're into sports photography like me though, it just gives your telephoto zoom lens a little more reach.
Excellent Camera 5 out of 5 stars.

Good bang for buck 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
This is great bang for your buck. When I bought my first dslr, the XT, new, it cost the same as the 30D does now. I'm very happy with the improved controls of the 30D over the XT as well as better high iso performance and 5 fps... My future plans are to get a 5d for holding a wideangle lens and use the 30D for the 70-200. The 24-105 range makes sense on either but the nature of the lens will be more telephoto on the 30D...
