The Rebel works well in both situations. I have been using it for snapshots of family and friends, and I've been using it for serious photographs taken at various local landmarks. Even a beginner can learn to use this camera, and they can be taking great pictures right out of the box. The Canon Rebel is almost perfect. It's easy to use, and it's versatile.
Maybe this is normal. - VERY good deal. One of the reasons I decided on the Canon was because of the "live view" option. I'm just learning a lot by reading the manual and playing around with it, so, if anyone has any "tips", feel free to let me know.
This is my first digital camera. (I still love my camera, tho). I am a little disappointed, however, that when in the live view mode, you cannot look thru the eyepiece at the same time. I went from a 35mm to a digital SLR, which is a huge change.
I was going back and forth between a Nikon vs Canon. I purchased the kit, so it came with 2 lenses, an 8gb memory card, batteries, case, etc. I'm having so much fun taking pictures and "experimenting" with my new camera, however, I hardly know the first thing about using it.
This was a heck of a deal, for a quality digital SLR and additional items. I even check some the local camera specialty stores, same results. I have been telling all my friends about this purchase. This was a great purchase for price. I had been searching online at some the big electronic stores for a camera, but I never could find a bundle package.
The price from Amazon for the entire kit is cheaper than buying just the camera elsewhere. Love the Canon Rebel XS camera & the telephoto lens, extra battery & other extras that came with the kit. The camera is awesome - very easy to use and high quality.
3. Live view is incredible, not actually great for moving shots, but o.k. No tripod necessary, too expensive to ship to the caribbean.Complete kit is worth it. MAC version. in that use, but it's an amazing feature, works almost exactly like on a point and shoot, but not exactly.(meaning you see clearly on the lcd, but it focuses slower, and pans slower, it shuts off when you half press the shutter to allow the camea to do the rest. The XS is a very quick cam, great entry level pro cam pics. I wish amazon ( cameta camera) puts together a Lens kit with a 50mm F2.8 prime lens with a 18-270mm F3.5-5.6 Telephoto and a 3piece filter set. 4.
8GB transcend card is really a high speed card, no problems whatsoever. I bought the kit, and was pleased with everything but the camera bag.Pros: The rebel xs is simply an underrated D SLR.thank GOD for this as I got it at a very good price. Camera bag is really cheap looking and cheap quality. " Leather handle" . Spare battery has allowed me well over 700 shots, and it still reads full barsCons: 1 Canon EOS software is problematic to work with, constantly beach balls and requires a force quit.
The other accessories work well. terribleWould have given 5 stars if it were just camera and lens, but DSLR's need a competent bag because you need to carry around lenses most times. I would buy this again but with a different camera bag definitely. Bag is also not secure in it's locks and clips, in fact one clip broke before I opened the plastic. Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 auto focus lens. too small to have any effect, would have at least been good if the strap were long enough to wrap around your body good enough, and I am just shy of skinny at 175 pounds. Auto mode is fantastic, Manual mode is awesome.
2. Great buy. The view finder is fabulous, clean clear, represents the lens perfectly 2. It's a good telephoto lens, does really nice and sharp macros.
