Canon Digital Rebel Digital Camera

You won't find better photo quality in a $900 camera than on the Digital Rebel. It captures incredible amounts of detail -- down to blades of grass and individual leaves on a tree. Images are smooth, with nonexistent noise. Color and exposure were both accurate, and purple fringing was kept to a minimum, at least on the lenses I used. The Digital Rebel has a pretty standard playback mode (as do most D-SLRs). Basic features include image protection, thumbnail mode, DPOF print marking, and slide shows. There's also an image rotation feature. The "zoom and scroll" feature lets you zoom in as much as 10X into your photo, and then scroll around in the zoomed-in area. This is a great way to check the focus on a photo. The addition of the two zoom buttons and the four-way controller have made using zoom & scroll a lot easier. You can use the jump button to quickly move ahead 10 images (or 9 in thumbnail mode), which is handy when you've got lots of pictures on the memory card. Deleting photos is easy, as there's a button right on the camera for that purpose. You can delete one or all of the photos on the card. I would've liked a way to select a group of photos to delete.  dpresource.com

The EOS Digital Rebel is undoubtedly the most important dSLR of 2003. Its performance and price point mark a whole new era for digital SLR cameras and who better to do it then Canon. A thousand dollars is still a lot of money for a camera, digital or otherwise, but it wasn't that long ago that digital SLRs with 1/3 the performance and image size were selling for tens of thousands of dollars. If we keep heading in this direction then it is only a matter of another few years before we see really affordable dSLRs well under $500. And I'd be willing to bet that the first one out of the chute has a Canon insignia on it. But for now (Fall/Winter 2003) the EOS Digital Rebel is the most bang for the buck in dSLR cameras. If you're fed up with the limitations of consumer digicams (excessive shutter lag, slow AF, non-interchangeable lenses, pathetic battery life, poor image quality, etc.) then give this camera a serious look, you won't be sorry.  steves-digicams.com
