Untitled Review
I have a Canon EOS 300 (which I think is the name under which the Rebel is marketed in Europe) since 2,5 years. I especially enjoy the fact that it is comparatively light for a SLR, although it is bulky as compared to a compact camera. I use it on rock climbs, glacier trips and I am very content with the results. I have got the Canon 28-80 original lens (sold as a package) which provides the necessary range for mountains fotos.

Great camera for the price, can't beat it. This baby has been around since....what the early 80's.

I love it
I am using the newer version of it, Rebel XTi (European 400D), and I absolutely love it. The pictures are brilliant, regardless if you want to capture landscapes with great depth or catch a fast movement.
It is very easy to use and offers all manual options I need. I would not trade it for any other.

Untitled ReviewThe camera has the normal set of features now found on entry level SLR's like autofocus, autoexposure, bracketing, etc. A nice feature is that it pre-loads the film so it rewinds into the film case as you take photos. This means if the back is accidentally opened, you don't lose the photos you have alread taken.
The autofocus is quite reliable and I rarely have to turn it off to get the camera to focus where I want except in very low light. The autoexposure settings work reasonably for most photos although it tends to over expose high contrast shots (like snow covered peaks with dark forest in the foreground).
There isn't a lot of difference between most of the "shooting modes" so having 11 of them is pretty meaningless except for marketing.
The flash is pretty weak and is OK for fill or somewhat close up photos but is no substitute for a real flash. Also, remember that the camera is plastic. Lens mounts will wear out and the camera will probably break if dropped far.
