if there was a god, it would be this camera.
it's a great camera. my one complaint (this can probably never be fixed, so i'm cool with it) is that the lense it comes with is standard. telescopic ones cost more, and after buying a 500 dollar camera with a 60 dollar memory card and a 100 dollar tripod, i'm kind of wiped out.

Great camera, great price
I've wanted to purchase the Canon Digital Rebel XT for more than 6 months, and had been keeping my eye on the prices from both local and web stores. I was amazed when I found it on amazon for such an affordable price. The camera arrived on time, and in new, unopend condition, as advertised. I'm very pleased with the camera and the price.

Rebel XT - excellent value
My Rebel XT was stolen in December, and I've upgraded to the Canon 5D. But I purchased another XT to replace my wife's camera, which was a Canon 570. For the difference in price (about $200) the XT is vastly superior, and my wife is delighted with its performance and picture quality. Canon has reduced the construction quality somewhat - more plastic - but for the price, this is a great machine. I paid Can $ 1100 for my XT body in May of 2005, and now you can buy it with 18-55 lens for $450! Great value. Buying it from Amazon was really easy. It came in days.

Awesome
This is just a great camera, especially at this price point. It is easy and fun to use if you are in a hurry, or if you want to be more advanced you can start digging into the features.
I bought this with a 2Gig memory card and have more than enough memory. If you are thinking about a digital SLR, this one will be a great choice.

This is a great product. The battery life is astounding.
If you are on the fence about this product (like I was), then you should not hesitate any longer. In the description, it definitely underestimates the battery life. I bought this camera about month and a half ago. The battery took an hour to charge. I have taken at least 1000 pictures with it. Flashes, long exposures, you name it. Just today, the battery life indicator showed one third full. I plugged it in, and a half an hour later, it was fully charged.
Also, it takes great all around pictures. The image quality is very good. The 18-55 lens works fine for me. I don't think I would need another lens anytime soon. It is good for zoom, close ups, etc. I might want a macro lens soon, but other than that, there is really no need to get more lenses. I would recommend a remote (for bulb exposures, etc.), and a UV filter. Also, a tripod is a necessity. The xti is no better, so don't waste your money when all it does is use up battery faster.
Anyway, this is worth the money, and Amazon is the place to buy it from. Buy it. You'll be glad you did.
