Canon Digital EOS Rebel Pros and Cons
To: Fellow Photographers and Photography enthusiasts,
I have searched rec,photo,digital and did not find what I was Looking for. My question is: Does anyone have experience with the Canon Digital EOS Rebel , What did you like about it and what didn't you like about it.? I read about the differences between it and the 10D. I just wanted some feed back from people that actually shot with it. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. I always can count on this newsgroup for help. :-) Thanks Again, Christina |

I always can count on this newsgroup for help. :-) I have one, it's first and only dslr. #1, feels cheaper than other digital and film SLRs I've tried. #2, small buffer only allows 4 quick shots in continuous mode, after that it's 1 shot per second. #3, no flash exposure compensation, but that's now fixed with the Russian firmware. Except for those three things I absolutely love it, I like the controls, I like the the kit lens, so far I've only added a 55-200mm, it's a fun camera.

Apart from the functional differences and build, the viewfinder is the main difference. Like the Nikon D70, the 300D uses a mirror box instead of a glass prism, to cut down on weight and cost. The 10D uses a real prism, and the result is much crisper, more contrasty viewfinder image. This difference is carried through the whole camera - same basic image sensor, but a much superior body if you need a heavier duty, better feeling camera. David |

Does anyone have experience with the Canon Digital EOS Rebel
, What did you like about it and what didn't you like about it.? I read about the differences between it and the 10D. I just wanted some feed back from people that actually shot with it. Christina- The Rebel 300 is a fine camera. It is lacking some features the more expensive models have, but has accurate shutter speed and accepts the best lenses Canon offers. Judging by your web site, you most likely have the talent to produce outstanding images using a camera that has a minimum capability. As a professional you may find the Rebel acceptable. On the other hand, your images may benefit from the additional capabilities of more expensive models. For example, the Canon EOS 1Ds not only has a greater number of sensor elements than the Rebel, the sensor is larger so less magnification is required for a given image size. While I have been generally satisfied with the performance of my Rebel, there are a few minor things that annoy me such as having trouble making it focus where I want it to. I have never tried any of the higher models, so it is hard to tell if they would be any better. Have you considered renting one? That way you could spend some time with it and form your own opinion.

Incredibly clear, beautiful pics, I love being able to use quality Canon glass and it has more features than I'll ever use. I do wish it had a bigger buffer---you only get 4 shots before it has to unload to the memory card---but it hasn't been a big deal for me so far. |

This is a tale you hear a lot. If you actually try the cameras in a store, you _may_ find it to be quite wrong. At least to my eye, the 300D viewfinder is great. I can see all the way out to the corners, and focus pops in and out better than any camera I currently own (Mamiya 645, Rolleiflex with Maxwell screen). There is something a tad chintzy about the image in the viewfinder; the 10D certainly seems smoother and less harsh. But for framing and manual focusing, the 300D kicks the 10D's butt. (This is with my (-8.75 diopter) glasses. You should try the cameras with your eyes and your glasses/contacts.) This difference is carried through the whole camera - same basic image sensor, but a much superior body if you need a heavier duty, better feeling camera. This is anothe tale you hear a lot. If you actually try the cameras in a store, you _may_ find it to be quite wrong. I really like the way the 300D fits my hand and I'm not fond of excessive weight. So the 300D is the "better feeling camera". If Canon comes out with a full-frame "3D" or "10D II", I'll buy it and put up with the weight and viewfinder, as I do with MF equipment. (It's the image quality, stupid.) But when the image quality's the same, one has a choice. Besides, if you buy a 300D, you'll want to keep it as your light weight go anywhere camera when you get the full-frame "3D" or "10D II" after it appears, whereas the 10D will sit in a drawer or have to be ebayed. (IMHO, the 10D is getting too close to its sell-by date. It's almosty 18 months old, and a camera-month is like a dog year.) David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

I'm hard pressed to see any difference in the viewfinder with the same lens mounted. |
