So I won this new camera over Halloween Weekend, the Canon Rebel XT DS126071

I'm normally a Nikon guy, I have a D60 and a D3100.

I just wanted to see if anyone else on here is a canon love and would care to explain a little bit more about Canons to me.

I can read all through reviews online, which I have, but I would love to hear about it from person experience.

thanks guys appreciate it.

Happy Halloween btw.

I think the accepted nikon vs canon reasoning here is use what you're comfortable with, before breaking open the rebel, go play with one and see if you like it before hand.

Exactly.

Well +1 to the above but also consider that the Rebel XT is about +5 years out of production so it won't reflect most of Canon's newest technology.

Well same can be said for his d60 that was introduced in 08.

Can't comment on that comparison cuz I shoot strictly Canon but I just found that the XT was originally released in early 2005...

I think you get the picture (a little photo humor :) ).

I ended up trading my Rebel XT and some money for the Rebel T3....so I am a happy camper.

The XT rebel is fun, and has perfect photos that I didn't think it could do...but this canon is ridiculous, even though I still have a lot to learn, I love it all.

Yeah, I read all about the Rebel XT and the reviews were great on it....then I heard the T3 was out and I figure I'd use craigslist to my advantage...and Wallah! New camera.

but I had to get a new circuit bored on it, because the CF card put in actually was bent and broke a pin, his reason for selling it he didn't want to repair it...

I spend 112 dollars on the repair, and I gave him my camera and 100 dollars.....

I told him there were a repair shop and I tried to help him, but I think he was just irritated and didn't take pictures very often....

I feel better that I at least tried to help the guy.

It was, I'm super psyched. I used to pay photographers to take pictures of what I needed but now I can do them myself....

I spent a few hours reading all the little effects and such, so much on such a small device!
