I have had this camera for 10 years. It takes nice pictures, it's easy to use, and is a good camera for beginners and amateur photography enthusiasts. It's also relatively light. It runs through batteries more quickly than I'd like, but still nothing compared to the battery sucking power of my digital camera. This camera has been tall over Europe, to Yellowstone & Grand Teton, NYC, Vegas/Grand Canyon, So. Cal, and a handful of other places and taken some pics that were even worth blowing up, mounting and framing. I still prefer it for taking pics of my kids and animals b/c it's much better at capturing the moment (since they're always in motion) vs. my digi camera. For that reason- I am hoping to upgrade to its digital cousin later this year.

I needed the camera for a photography one class and it got the job done. mine didnt come with a manual so it wasnt as easy for me to figure out how to use it but it was worth the $100 i bought it for.
Good camera :-)

I've had this camera for a few years and i've taking great pitures with it. I do think i like my canon XSi better, but that is newer technoligy. The pictures i took were great but i like being able to view the pictures right away like on the XSi. There isn't many things to manualy control, it does have auto-focus, and i like having that. All there really is, is the mode wheel thing, a timed shot button, AV set, and those are really the major things.

As a sugjestion, i got a battery pack for the camaera. it makes the camera have a battery length about 2x longer. Also, you probaly don't need to get these but i have 28-90 lens. Overall this is a good camera.

The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 is an affordable, lightweight, andfull-featured automatic 35mm SLR for both beginning and advancedamateur photographers. It offers a host of special modes for specificshooting situations, including full auto, manual, night scene,portrait, landscape, and more. It also has shutter-speed priority andaperture priority modes--although most users will inevitably leave thecamera in full auto mode a majority of the time and the cameraperforms very well that way. Just remember that the empty rectanglesymbol on the mode dial is for full auto.

Some other basic features include an impressive seven-point autofocussystem, LCD panel with extensive information display, three exposuremetering modes (evaluative, partial, and centerweighted), autoexposure bracketing, a multiple exposure function, and depth-of-fieldpreview. The autofocus system is incredibly responsive, and includesseven focusing points that can be set individually for super creativeshooting. In other words, using the LCD panel as a guide, you can setthe camera to automatically focus on the far right focus point (or anyof the other points) so your main subject doesn't have to be in themiddle of the frame to be in focus in a snap.

In fact, most settings can be adjusted in creative ways on the Rebel2000, like the exposure level, which can be set to overexpose orunderexpose up to two full stops for tricky lighting situations whereyou might want to fool the camera's metering system. It also has asmall, built-in pop-up flash, plus a hot shoe for an additional flashunit. Overall, we found this camera to be smartly designed with anattractive look and a comfortable feel.

Features:

  • Autofocus 35mm SLR with full manual options
  • 28 to 80mm zoom lens included
