I used to love my xt but
Date: May 4, 2009
Pros: excellent image quality, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, quiet, Quick Start-up time, easy to use, uses rebel lens from slr 35 mm film cameras
Cons: Poor build quality, Dim LCD, did not last long for price
I have had my camera for 3 yrs. I used to love it but for the last year it has been acting up with the auto focus. The focus goes in and out, never focusing or taking a picture. It would do this for a shot or two and then work again. Last month my 1'st grandchild was born and it would not focus or shoot no matter what I did. I placed it on manual focus and was able to get a few good shots, most blurry. Everything happens so fast, I just didn't have time. For the last several weeks I have been searching on the internet to find a solution. I have come to learn that it is a know fault of the xt. Had I know this to start with I would have bought a extened warranty or a different camera. For the price that I paid for this camera and the Canon name, I really expected it to last a lot longer. I did love the fact that my old canon slr film camera and the rebel digital cameras can use the same lenes. And before it broke I took some awesome photos.

great camera-no pictures
Date: December 20, 2008
I love this camera and I wouldn't change a thing about it; however, it is useless to me as my new computer has Windows Vista 64 bit and Canon has so far failed to provide a driver for it.

Excellent for it’s price
Date: November 12, 2008
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, quiet, Quick Start-up time, Solid Operation, easy to use, portable, good battery life
I got this camera in 2006 and it’s the best camera for the price so far. Excellent image quality is just one of the many benefits of getting this camera.

Very good for its price!
Date: November 10, 2008
Pros: excellent image quality, Simple controls/menu, Quick Start-up time
Cons: Dim LCD
I don't regret buying this camera. It gives very satisfying images and allows me enough control to reliably reproduce good images. The PIC modes are super basic and I haven't used them. E-TTL II flash is very, very nice - it does a very good job as fill flash, and if you are stepping up from an older camera system, you will be nicely surprised, although I admit on-camera flash isn't pro-oriented.
The LCD is dim, but not a big issue as I'm not an LCD peeper when I shoot. Also I notice a consistently *slightly* soft image quality straight from the camera in both RAW and JPG - not lens related by any means. Apparently it's normal, but hey.
