The Canon Rebel XT digital SLR is great for those who are used to a 35mm SLR or anyone who just wants to point and shoot high quality photos!

The body itself is relatively lightweight. The ability to change lenses is a big plus and depending on the size of lens will add some more weight. I use the Canon 75 - 300mm lens with built-in Image Stabilization. It can also be focused auto or manually. The battery life is sufficient, image save speed is good, and depending on the size CF card, it will store hundreds of shots at full resolution. I use a 4 GB card and it holds over 1000 shots.
