Cons Images slightly soft at default settings and No USB 2.0
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's EOS D350/Digital Rebel XT was a revolutionary re-design of the original Rebel, but Nikon's new D70s is more an evolutionary update of the dLSR that POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine chose as it's CAMERA OF THE YEAR in 2004.

Pros Great quality.
Cons I'm broke.
Recommended it? Yes

After dropping my Nikon F65 35mm SLR down a scree slope, and then more recently submerging it in the Pacific Ocean, I thought it might not be a bad idea to get a new and improved camera – a digital SLR. At the same time, I was hesitant to go and spend over a thousand dollars on something that I... Read full review »

Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
