If you don't need a camera that does Video then the Canon Rebel Xti is a great value and a killer good DSLR camera for you. It's smaller and lighter then the later camera's in the Rebel series but still has a large easily read LCD screen and many other great features. I'd say, for the price you won't go wrong with this camera if it's an affordable DSLR your on the hunt for.

Was hoping to find a camera to use for astrophotography on the cheap. But all I got was the cheap! The sensor is the correct size for imaging the night sky, but that is about where that story ends....quality? there isn't enough to get any results. The camera has 'issues' with noise in the data as well.... Astrophotography? Look elsewhere! General daytime photography? Think about getting something much newer, and save yourself the headaches of subpar quality imaging.

Bought this camera mainly due to the unique 400plus Hack. Since I purchased the old 400D it became my everyday carry DSLR in place of my far expensive modern DSLR which I use for special occasions. It has its obvious shortcomings in the modern era where 18mp+ HD720-1080p Video reigns supreme. 10mp cropped CMOS sensor, lack of video support, restricted to Compact Flash, ISO sensitivity 1600(3000 can be achieved via 400plus), and lack of live view et cetera... Other than that just being a still camera is pretty good for something released in 2006. Picture quality is good as long as the glass/photographer is good. Recommended for beginners on the cheap considering its usually sold used below $200 USD. As for the reason why I bought it that being 400plus unofficial firmware upgrade it's updated regularly as of 2013. With that my 400D can go beyond ISO 1600. Do a timelapse without an external remote shutter, and more.Read full review
I have been shooting 35mm film for over 40 years! Until now, I would shoot, process, print, review prints, scan, and digitally edit scanned images. Anyone who's done this knows the potential drawbacks to that process. In the end, though, I got some pretty good finished prints. It was time-consuming and expensive, but rewarding. I hesitated to go to digital, for years, because of the price tag attached to good digital bodies, and the problems that the industry had not yet worked out. I was a 'film snob!' After talking to (pestering!) several friends with digital rigs, and much research, I decided to 'take the plunge.' The Canon Digital Rebel XTi can use my ES lenses (with allowances for format differences), and has most of the features of my Canon Elan IIe (with the most notable exception being eye-controlled focus). Controls are intuitive and easy to access. I found myself reaching for the (CD) manual in only a couple of cases. It can be used as a simple point-and-shoot in 'auto' mode, or allows as much creativity as anyone could want with 'priority' modes or full manual control. It even has 'Depth-of-field preview!' I esapecially like being able to change ISO (in any other than 'auto' mode) at any time, to suit conditions, instead of wasting partial film rolls or having to make allowances for that change...which often meant losing opportunities for shots. Setting changes can be made very easily and quickly, and results are very predictable...nicely emulating film use. I've only shot about 400 frames with this camera, and am very much still in the 'getting acquainted' stage with this camera but, so far, am very pleased with results. I shoot a lot of outdoor and action (everything from wildlife and waterfalls, to NASCAR and rock bands!), so I use a wide variety of settings. The only feature that I'm still getting comfortable with is the multi-point auto-focus system. So far, it's too easy to focus on the wrong part of the frame. By the way, one nice feature (that my film camera does not have) is the eyepiece diopter adjustment, which allows me to adjust for failing eyesight and frame a shot without weaaring glasses! All in all, I am thrilled with the purchase, and my entry into digital photography. You can certainly buy cameras with more 'bells and whistles' (this camera, for instance, doesn't shoot video), and Canon has a wide array to choose from, including models with higher resolution. The Digital Rebel XTi, however, is a great value and gives you a more than adequate set of features to stimulate you creative side...or simply shoot great pictures!Read full review
The camera I received was in good condition, everything works fine and I am really enjoying it, but if you are looking at one to buy just be aware it does not have live view or some of the later features the new cameras do. The thing I like is it is the third of the price the new cameras are, and the pictures are great, lots of decent lenses fit this camera body and when you decide to upgrade the body, you can still use the lenses.
