CANON EOS REBEL FOR STARTERS AND PRO'S
) 
113 of 116 people found this review helpful.
The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 has the widest range of settings available in the 35mm line of cameras, but it will take time to "master" everything it offers such as shooting pictures at night or landscapes, but a MUST to have on any camera are a good set of filters especially a UV filter which helps protect your lens and also cut's glare.
If you don't mind waiting on the film to be developed you will find that this is really better than digital, excluding digital pro cameras which cost $1500.00 and up!!
You need to start with full automatic and enjoy shooting anything from marco to infinity, it IS very easy to use and in no time you will be shooting like a pro!!

First of all, if you're reading reviews as part of your research, prior to buying a camera, you're doing the right thing. Your camera, in this case the Canon EOS Rebel 2000, will be with you for many years to come. The technology in the Canon camera isn't anything like the "Digital Camera World", where you can't seem to keep up with the best quality camera and with the most features.
The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 is a solid, stable and absolutely reliable camera. If you take good care of it, you'll be able to have it all of your life and it's hard to say that, with any confidence, about any product. I have owned many, many cameras and I've found the Rebel 2000 to be the best in its class of 35mm auto-focus cameras. The 28-80mm Lens is sturdy and made of very high quality optics-for the absolute best and most reliable focusing and photo taking. You may, at some point, wish to have an additional lens for a great zoom range. I have a Canon Lens that is 75-300mm, also an auto-focus lens like the 28-80mm lens, and I use it for sports photography and some portrait work.
Having a Canon EOS Rebel 2000 is similar to having a car that is proven, reliable and a true value for what you're paying for. Canon offers many settings on the camera which allow anyone to act a a true professional photographer, however Canon's automatic setting has proven to be just as good as the thousands of photos that I have taken in a regular mode-where I make several adjustments to aperture, etc. It's so easy to just turn the camera on, move the dial to the GREEN SQUARE, and begin to take some of the best photos you've ever taken. I honestly have never had a situation where I used the GREEN BOX (automatic settings) and had a photo that turned out wrong. The only time I've ever had a problem is when I've taken it OFF that mode and into a manual mode-something I now try to avoid!
I honestly believe that you're getting an incredible value when purchasing the Canon EOS Series Cameras. If you're buying new, you'll not have ANY problems to worry about with your purchase. If you're buying used, make sure you ask about the history of the camera and don't be afraid to ask the seller why the camera is being sold. It's helpful if you buy from a seller that has kept all of the literature that originally came with the camera, along with the instruction booklets, warranties, etc. If the lens is not scratched and the camera has been kept in good condition, you're likely to be buying a very dependable camera. It's a great "bang for your buck" when it comes to 35mm SLR Cameras. The 2000 has some additional features that differentiate it from other Rebel Series models, however Canon knows when it has a good product and the 2000 is an excellent example.
I hope that my review has helped you. I wrote it so that it might help you in making a decision, as I know it can be very hard sometimes. I'm a person that always does Consumer Reports reviews on products before buying them and hope that this short review will fill some gap you may have had.
Good Luck To You! Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Good Overall Beginner/Amateur CameraReview created: 05/31/06

I bought this camera about five years ago brand new. I have never had any problems with it.
When I first pucrchased it, I knew really nothing about 35mm photography. This camerea was a perfect introduction because it was so easy to learn. It features a range of settings from fully automatic to very advanced settings usually only found in more professional level cameras.
I also traveled very much with this camerea and found it to be very durable no matter what I put it through. Another plus is the very light weight, which can be very important if you will be taking it with you places.

Very versatile camera, powerful features and options!!!Review created: 06/22/06
by:
14 of 17 people found this review helpful.
This camera can be used fully automatic as a point and shoot camera and, on the other side of that coin, can be used fully manual. It has loads of powerful automatic features and 35mm is still equivalent in quality to a 6-8 megapixel digital SLR, which sell for $1000. Digital has color noise, sensor noise, moire noise, etc. 100 speed slide or negative film does not. A drum scanned (a special scanner that extracts every bit of detail and color from film) 35mm slide/negative can be blown up poster size without artifacts. Its a cheap and powerful way to get into professional 35mm photography.

User-Friendly CameraReview created: 10/28/06

I use the Rebel 2000 quite a bit, mostly for family get togethers and birthday parties. It is great for this use be cause it is small, light, (I am used to my EOS-1N) and has a built in flash. I can run around with this thing around my neck all day and not feel tired. When in "green mode" (full auto) the camera will select the correct focus points automatically and in "program mode" it will allow you to select one of the seven focus points manually if you wish. When you are ready to venture away from full auto, it offers, aperture priority, shutter priority, full manual and other shooting modes. Also the camera has a "prewind" system. When film is loaded into the camera it is wound up onto the take-up spool and is fed back into the cartridge as pictures are taken. This is a great safety feature in case the camera back is opened accidentally. This is a great camera for some one starting out in SLR photography and wants to take some time to learn more about it.

The Rebel 2000 does not have the more advanced features of the higher end cameras but it is well suited for the avid photographer who is on a budget.It is light weight,shutter button is well positioned, the full auto mode could not be simpler to use, just point and shoot, fast auto focus for faster shots.Mine has took some really great shots and has been very dependable,the stock lens works well for close up nature shots.I have began using the more advanced modes and have found them very useful.An external flash is a must for low light photos.Overall I recommend it and give it 5 stars

The Magic of Film - Journey from digital back to filmReview created: 06/21/08
by:
) 6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
Over the years, I've used and owned a number of consumer cameras, from simple point-and-shoot film cameras to a Minolta SLR. About three years ago, I began to dabble in digital and I've learned so much in the meantime about the art of photography that I decided it's time to upgrade to a better camera.
Unlike what many if not most people are doing - I went backwards from digital to film. From my 8MP Sony to this 35mm Canon EOS Rebel 2000. And the first time I took it out after receiving it?
I took a handful of shots, and thought, "Wow... I should have bought a REAL camera years ago." This is, by far, the best camera I've used. It may not be the top-of-the-line Canon model but it's got many manual features as well as automatic which works great. It feels sturdy in the hands and feels like it'll be here with me for years and years. The lens is the kit 28-80mm lens and I wasn't sure how it would work out with macro shots, but so far, so great!
Honestly the first roll developed was okay - nothing spectacular - but I had to learn to overcome my digital bad habits (no image stabilization to save you). The second roll, however, was awesome, including some very nice macros (which now has me looking for a 70-300mm macro zoom that is made for that sort of thing - I think if I can get such great photos out of a kit lens, what could I do with more?)
One other thought on the digital to film migration... Typically point-and-shoot digital cameras have an aperture range of f2.8 up to around f8.0. For any but the serious photographers out there that may not mean anything - a couple years ago it didn't to me, either... But when I started trying to shoot waterfalls with a point-and-shoot digital, I found that f8.0 was a very limiting factor... It meant, basically, that without special filters which were pretty expensive for my model, I'd either overexpose the shot or lose the 'waterfall effect' that I was striving for.
Out of the box, with the kit lens, this camera of apertures as small as f32 ... Which in theory would allow me broad daylight photos of waterfalls with multi-second exposures... In practice, there'll be other factors involved such as whether the breeze is moving leaves near the falls, or other things...
In the end, I'm going to have a lot of fun learning the ins and outs of this great camera!

This is such a great camera! This is my second one I just love them. My first one was stolen so and I wouldn't settle for anything different. They take such clear, precise, sharp pictures. They are easy enough for a beginner to use but have a lot of professional quality. I would recommed this camera for anyone whether they are wanting to start photographing professionaly or just for fun. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this camera! It's fabulous!

The Canon Rebel 2000 35 mm gives wonderful results. This camara is more on the professional level...it takes some practice to master the options on it, but once you do, you are set! It is also a great camera to start with the base and then as needed, buy additional lenses to create different effects. Great for someone interested in photography, or someone that just wants it to look like they are a photographer!

Canon cameras are user friendly and adaptive. The quality of the shot you will get with a Canon EOS Rebel 2000 will match that of any professional. This camera's capabilities are easy to get to know. With a variety of lenses you can produce shots your friends wil think you bought. I have highly recommended this camera to other friends and they are amazed at my photos with this camera. I feel like a pro!

Okay, so this purchase was more for a requirement of one of my classes rather than just out of want. Setting that aside, this camera has been pretty good to me! I'm still learning how to properly set each setting to get the kind of picture that i want, but that has nothing to do with errors or anything by the camera. Its been around a month or a little more since i first received the camera. Its been good to me since!

What a great camera. I have always used the older type of SLR film cameras and this is such an upgrade. The camera is so easy to use and so fast to put into operation. The functions are easy but I recommend on just using the point and shoot mode most of the time for ease and speed. With the 28-80 lens it is so versatile. Since getting this camera I am planning on selling off my older models of SLR and making this my primary film camera. If you really want to shoot film instead of going digital, you can't beat the Canon EOS Rebels for value and quality.

I bought the camera for my son to use in his high school photography class. They had limited cameras for use by the students. He really loves having his own camera available when he wants to take pictures, not having a specific, limited time to do his work.
This camera was the perfect find for him. We didn't have to spend too much, and it works perfectly for his need.
I don't know a lot about cameras, but he is happy, I am happy.
Thank you so much.

Great camara. Great quality pictures. Easy to use. Comprehensive manual. I bought it to replace one stolen and I was completely satisfied. We also have a digital Canon in our home and the prints were hard mark from which camara they came. I would recommend highly for a photography class, hobby, or gift.
