 Best for the money |

I've owned this camera for a couple years and have taken several thousand pictures. I did my homework before I purchased this model and have never regreted my decision. One must throughly read and understand the instructions and practice with the camera. The camera is loaded with features and options, but you must learn how to use it. Most importantly buy good lenses. I have 3 good quality fixed focal length lenses and I recently bought the 24-70mm f2.8 L. It's difficult for a non-professional to justify spending $1300 for a lens but I'm glad I did. I'm thrilled with the professional quality of my pictures. The lens, shutter and sensor are the critical items in a camera. Everything else is pretty much bells and whistles. You can spend a lot of money for features you will never use.
I'm very excited about the 7D and fighting the urge to buy it. The truth is I have not outgrown the Xti.
This is a good buy now that newer models have been introduced.
I may have bought this from Amazon, but its been so long ago I don't remember.

| I've owned this camera for 3+ years and have no gripes. I'm amateur/professional photographer, do TONS of product photography with my XTi and love, love it. Had the wrong lens to begin with, but since I purchased this lens 3+ years ago, images have been flawless--Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR ZL Di LD Aspherical (IF). I shoot in RAW 75%+ of the time for professional shoots but rarely flip to full-auto mode. Only use full-auto mode when trying to get shots of my active kids, jumping and running around. I know there are better, more expensive, larger frame cameras out there, which I aspire to own in the coming years--when I can justify the cost. But til then, I'll love my XTi (with my sharp lens) and have no complaints. Only now can I admit my battery seems to not stay charged so long, but this is after 3+ years of heavy, heavy use. |
Great camera with long life!

| I brought this camera 2006/2007 and have loved it ever since! It had the automatic mode that I used the first couple of years. Lately, I have gotten adventurous and been using the manual setting which I am loving even more! This camera is great for beginners and intermediate users. With today's newest cameras, there are a few newer bells and whistles on them, but most people will not notice the difference, especially for the price. This is a great camera that has lasted many years and is still taking awesome pictures now. |
Great pictures

| Looking forward to toting my camera and all the associated gear on an expedition to the Amazon Rainforest next March ... will post results and reviews after that again. Speaking with professional photographers, I am told that the tropical rainforest is among the most demanding conditions for photography. Need a macro lens, a wideangle ... I'm set with everything else. |
Fabulous Camera!

| I've owned one of these for over three years now and have taken about 35,000 photos with it. I've never had it cleaned or serviced (I'm thinking about doing so, but the photos are still looking beautiful) and have used it in rain and snow, temperatures from -20 to 110 (F), low light, bright light, etc. without problems. I've even dropped it a couple times (though not on super hard surfaces) and it doesn't seem damaged in any way. The auto setting works great, but I use it in manual a lot, if for nothing more than to take advantage of the RAW setting. I expect it to last several more years and will definitely buy Canon in the future. |

this price is good. I love Canon cameras because the resulting picture is better and clearer than other products.
