I must say that the Canon Rebel XT is a great choice for ANYONE that wants great quality pictures and an easy to use, versitile camera!

I am a photography student and bought the XT in November of 2008 and think it was an excellent purchase. I shopped around and really loved the reviews for Canon as a whole. Went to the store to check them out found that it is pretty lightweight (compared to other DSLR's), tons of features plus the easy to use auto features and specialty features such as motion, landscape, up close, portrait, etc.

The options are seemingly endless for lenses so you don't have...
