Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (Body Only)

“Equipped with a Sigma 18-200mm lens, the Canon Rebel XT is a highly capable camera that can handle almost any situation, from travel to children/pet portraits to low light, and even fast action sports situations. The Rebel XT's strength lies in its great image quality, especially at high ISO in low-light situations, which allows it to snap photos of night scenes or quick-moving children and pets without having to resort to flash. In addition, Sigma 18-200mm lens provides a 29-320mm equivalent zoom range that is versatile enough to cover everything from the wide-angle landscapes encountered on travel to the close-up action of sports photography, making this a capable do-it-all camera setup.”

“While not as flashy as some competitors, the Canon Rebel XT possesses best-in-class image quality and provides all the features you need to take great portrait photos of children and pets.”

“Though it's no longer the newest Canon Rebel series model, the Rebel XT still produces the best high-ISO images in the entry-level market, delivering cleaner and more detailed images than any of its competitors. Combined with Canon's new 18-55 IS lens, the package delivers the best low-light SLR on the market, all for a lower price than most other basic SLR kits.”

“As a DSLR-type camera, the Canon Rebel XT possesses capabilities far beyond that of the typical consumer camera. Equipped with a Sigma 18-200 lens, the Rebel XT is one of the most versatile cameras on the market, with the wide-angle range to cover landscapes, the medium range to take great portraits of pets and people, the long range for close-ups of fast action, and the general flexibility to handle the variety of scenes encountered on travel. The Rebel XT's good autofocus, superb continuous shooting abilities, and best-in-class high-ISO images also make it the most capable fast-action camera in this price range. ”

“Travel photography demands versatility, and action photography demands sheer speed and performance - two very different ends of the photographic spectrum, and one that few cameras can adequately cover (even at this price range). Low light, of course, makes photographing either of these things ten times harder. Though it's not quite the perfect travel camera, the Rebel XT is quite versatile, and shines as the best camera available for fast action and low-light pictures of moving subjects”

“Despite approaching three years on the market (ancient in digital camera terms), Canon's Rebel XT camera remains one of the best low-light cameras on the market, thanks to a low-noise sensor that produces the best high ISO images of any sub-$2000 camera, and Canon's newly released 18-55IS lens that provides an image stabilization system to compensate for camera shake blur. While there are also many other quite capable low-light cameras (that are perhaps more capable in other areas of photography), the Canon Rebel XT is combines the best high ISO performance and image stabilization system to produce the best pure low-light camera.”

“For a camera that can do it all, look no further than the Canon Rebel XT. Combined with an 18-55 IS and 70-300 telephoto lens, the Rebel XT is an extremely versatile camera that can handle all kinds of shooting situations, from portraits to fast action to any kind of general photography. With its image-stabilized 18-55 IS lens and the best high ISO capability in its class, the Rebel XT excels in low light situations, and can freeze fast action subjects even in dark night-time situations.”
