Rating: - A GREAT Product!
I bought this camera from Amazon back in April. I ordered it on a Friday afternoon and received it the following Monday morning. It has been GREAT so far. This is my is my first digital SLR so I had some learning to do but this camera was very easy to learn and operate. The picture quality is very good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially those who are purchasing a digital SLR for the first time.

Rating: - Great Camera
I have had my XTI for over a year and still love the camera. The pictures are sharp and the color is great. Well worth the investment. I would have prefered a wide angle lens to the 18-55mm, but it is a good starter lens.

Rating: - xti- good entry level dslr
This is a good entry level camera that has a lot to give at a cheap price. However, I recommend the following:

Do not get the kit lens. Its decent, but it you can save your cash and buy a general purpose prime lens, like the 50 mm f1.4 ($300).

I am happy with this camera, however I can't wait for canon to come out with a full frame sensor, at a below 1000 dollar price.

I would also, like to see wider and more bracketing ability. 3 frames per bracket is not bad, but I wish it had more.My canon sx100 has a hacked firmware loaded that allows me to bracket multiple shots. The hack gives me the ability to alter f stop, as well as shutter speed for brackets. I'm hoping someone hacks the xti.

Most annoying: When you want to bracket you need to dig into a menu. That sucks.

proactive dust solution: I change lens a lot, so I'm happy that it has a proactive solution to dust. So far, I have not had a problem.

Over all, a great camera to start out with.

Rating: - Good but not great
The camera is indeed very good and after about 2000 pictures I'm happy I bought it however with the standard kit lens I find very difficult to focus on lower light. Also the quality and the clarity of the pictures taken with kit lens can be improved. The filter is very good to protect the lens from scratches or other unexpected events. I recommend buying the 50mm f/1.8 prime lens with this camera especially for new comers to dslr cameras.
