Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR

Anyone have a review on this? We just bought and I have 14 days to return it but just
wanted some opinions. We also got the75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens and 18-55 which is standard.
Of course I forgot to buy a flash today.

Thanks,
T

 

That's a great camera T! I have the Cannon Rebel XSi version and absolutly love mine! I haven't purchased an external flash for mine yet but the internal has worked fine for all my needs so far. I also purchased the 75-300mm lens for mine. The only thing I am not totally happy with on mine is the flash reset speed isn't the fastest but you get used to it!

 

Very good Ferg I was hoping someone else had this camera. We also purchased the 300 lense and we are also going to get the external flash soon. Had to have it for Coles football games.

 

I think if I knew more about cameras at the time that I purchased mine I would have gotten the 55-250mm lens though. With the 75-300 you just can't get any good close up shots so I am constantly changing lens. So because of that I usually have my Sony Cybershot with me also. Let me know which flash you get. That is something that I will be picking up down the road.

I am planning on taking some of the free photography classes that are offered by Wolf Camera. If you call they will tell you the schedule but classes fill up quick!

 

Are these online classes? I have never heard of Wolf Camera.

 

No they are in the stores. I know there is one in Vernon Hills. Not sure if there is one closer to you or not. I will look and let you know.

 

Their is a wolf camera in Gurnee.

 

Did you call about the classes? If your going to do it in Gurnee maybe I will join you.

 

Vicki is going to call later today and I will let you know the available dates.

 

I'm no camera expert, but I have this camera and love it. I've been very happy with it. It's easy to use and takes good pictures, everything I could ask for.

 

Sounds good Peak! Would be fun to take the class and actually learn what to do correctly!

 

Thats a fantastic camera. its amazing what you can do! Just take the time and learn every function, read the book, as boring as it is, it will help you sleep and you will learn alot about your picture
Photography is an eye thing. the camera is now not a limiting factor, Cant wait to see your shots.
Here are some i have taken with point and shoots. If i can pull this off, imagine what you can do










Its not chenangodave Badassery, but its amazing what you can do!!

 

Great pictures. I will have to get some of mine uploaded! Think I have a few hundred on my camera still that I have to take off.

 

i am guilty of that lol
i have a deep desire to own a new camera so i am saving
this is on the future wish list
