 Perfect . . . Almost. September 1, 2008
I bought this camera nearly a year ago, and I've liked just about everything about this lens. Its size, its image quality, everything. In fact, for my money, it's superior to the XTi since its image quality is better in low light situations. As to why, well, with the XTi, you're fitting 10 megapixels on the same-sized image sensor as the XT, which will create a noisier (grainier) image. The XSi has some advanced hardware that counteracts this tendency.
Having said this, however, there is ONE item I wish the XT had--3200 ISO. In fact, neither the XT nor XTi nor XSi, have this high ISO (they all go up to 1600). I like to take pictures with natural light, and having a 3200 ISO will be helpful in extremely dark situations, like the wedding I just went to recently where the dance floor was essentially without light (and I was shooting with a f/1.8 lens). So, if you see yourself taking a lot of photos in low light, you might as well get the Canon 30D body for $650 (the price as of now--Sept 2008). One final item: I have NO idea why this camera as of Sept 1, 2008 costs $698 with the 18-55mm lens. I bought mine almost a year ago for $450 for the exact same combo! If the price doesn't go down, buy a Nikon D60 (cheaper) or Canon XSi (same price as the XT and way more advanced). Or, best yet, buy a Canon 30D and buy the lens separate. With a Canon 30D and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens, you can essentially handle anything short of pitch-black scenes.
 Great camera for the price August 29, 2008
I bought this camera couple months ago, got a great deal on Amazon.com at that time - camera, len included and 2GB memory card for under $450. After months of using it, I would say this is a great camera. I primary use it to capture my newborn daughter pictures and this camera does a great job, I catch lot of 'Canon' moments of my daughter, I love the speed of SLR camera.
One little complain is the attached flash pretty weak, but I still give it 5 stars because I know I can't ask for more at this price and an external flash is an easy solution. The included len is good but not great. It's not a big deal since I am expecting it.
If you come from point-and-shoot world, this camera definitely is a good start and Canon XT camera lessons on Canon website are very helpful.
 Decent camera for the price. August 27, 2008
This was my first DSLR camera. It was great! However, I found myself outgrowing it rather quickly, and upgraded to the 40d.
My first SLR August 25, 2008
And wow, what a difference it is from point-and-shoot cameras. We were looking for an SLR to take good in-motion pictures. With our point-and-shoots, they came out terrible, and with kids, they never hold still! After reading many reviews, both here and cnet, we decided to purchase the XT. And we're not disappointed one bit! We're both very much amateurs when it comes to photography, but the manual was easy enough for us to understand how to take pictures OTHER than just on auto. We love being able to take 10+ shots in a row. And this does a wonderful job of freezing the action. Pictures are no longer blurry. We're very pleased. And for the price (we found it brand new on ebay for under $500 with the kit lens), it can't be beat.
Great Entry Level DSLR August 25, 2008
The was my first DSLR and I LOVE the pictures!!!! Very fast to capture those instant moments of your 2 or 3 year olds face. Great out door pictures and versatility with interchangeable lenses.
