My Review 

Even though the Canon Rebel XT is an older camera with "only" 8 megapixels of resolution, it can compete with newer models with a greater resolution, even to this day. The dimensions are an impressive 3456 x 2304. By using common sense techniques, I take amazing photos all the time. The display screen has a low pixel count, so one must download the images to fully evaluate each shot. The popup flash is good as a fill-in, but close to walls, it casts horrid shadows (avoid walls when using flash). But it is an amazing camera, and the price couldn't be beaten. Picture quality is far better than point and shoot cameras.

Camera "pros" 

I like the feel of this camera because it is rather small. I like the ease of use. It has lots of wonderful features that are not hard to figure out. My overall rating for the value, the excellent picture results, and ease of use and wonderful price would have to be 5.

Camera "cons" 

The cons would be the low MP view screen.

Is this camera easy to use? 

How is the image quality in good lighting? 

How is the image quality when using the flash? 

Do you like the camera's style and feel? 

How is the camera's LCD screen? 

Do you feel like the camera is/was a good value? 

Would you recommend this to a friend?
