Additional comments on this cheap digital SLR :

-The Canon EOS350D Digital Rebel XT is a real winner. It offers strong image quality, rapid processing speeds and shooting. This Canon SLR seems to have many of the flaws apparent in the Original EOS Digital Rebel, with arguably the only remaining issue concerning the feel of the body. As with the original Canon Digital Rebel, the XT is also formed out of an extremely lightweight poly carbonate material, which retains the same consumer grade frailty that some reviews state is cheap and amateurish. However, this compact frame is an positive to other users, as the 17.1 oz. Rebel XT, one of the lightest digital SLRs on the market, is able to offer the portability of a compact camera.

-Overall we give the Canon Rebel XT a solid thumbs up. This cheap SLR is a great choice for those consumers who are ready to move up to a digital SLR. However, just be sure you buy a decent lens for it!
