Good Camera
( - 6/27/05)I've had this camera for about two months, and honestly, it disappointed me at first. The focus with the kit lens was inaccurate, and the resulting pictures came out soft, with the center of the frame being the softest part of the image. I tried the automatic mode, and the results came out like I described.
Color was fine, and when I did use the manual focus, pictures were sharper and more accurate.
I borrowed a friend's 17-40mm Canon USM lens, and what a difference! Accurate focus, better sharpness in the entire frame, and faster automatic focus altogether. He also let me use a 50mm prime from Canon, and again, better clarity all around.
As I've read in some "professional" reviews, you may want to consider getting just the body for the Rebel XT, then a separate, higher quality lens. I wish I had done this...I could've saved some money.
Also, try utilizing the manual functions. As for the flash, it's not the best. My Canon S410 seems to have better coverage than this one. But if you're taking higher quality/professional pictures, you may want to purchase a bigger flash anyway.
