Another review mentioned the body being cheap. I highly recommend this camera for someone who is starting out and wants to learn more. I really didn't know anything about photography when I purchased it, and I still have A LOT to learn, however, I feel as though it's a camera that can grow with me.
Set it down gently and handle it properly as to avoid ruining the lens or some component within the camera. It will grow with you. The pictures have been fantastic.
I bought this camera a year ago as my starter camera to learn about film photography. The body seems fine to me, and to be quite honest, a camera is not something that you should be rough with. Enjoy.
It has automatic presets that make taking photos for a novice handy - not much thought required, but also allows you to set manual settings so you can experiment and learn. I disagree.
The body was very easily scratched, and basically burned out less than 2 years after I bought it. But if you're a serious photogapher, who plans doing much heavier photography and / or traveling, let me suggest you look for a sturdier camera, since my experience with this camera wasn't very good. So if you're a photo enthuseist looking for a good camera - please consider the fact that this camera wears out quickly (partly because of the plastic), and sooner of later you may be looking for a sturdier body. Being an entry level SRL, the camera body is cheap & light because it is made out of plastic. This more than fine for someone who'd like an SRL to use for specal occasions - kids'birthdays, graduations, or the occasional family road trip.
My previous camera was a twenty-year-old Canon AE-1. I added a 100 mm portrait lens.My only dissatifaction is that I haven't been able to find a remote or off-camera shutter release that works.
I like to use an off-camera shutter trigger of some kind in portrait and low-light conditions to minimize camera shake. I was sold a Canon Remote Control RC1 which did not work.
I love the camera but it seems difficult to find some accessories which I had come to rely on with my old camera. So far the Rebel 2000 has been a great camera - I think I've used every feature at least once.
I also can't find the cable to connect the hot shoe to my studio lights.On the whole, I am happy with the Canon Rebel 2000. I may just have to upgrade to another Canon SLR.I bought the Rebel 2000 over a year and a half ago.
I was very happy with the AE-1 but was having trouble seeing to focus in low-light situations.
I'm kidding, it totally rules. I say stay away from it. You should buy it. it's like this thing has a timer on it. When the warranty expires, it will literally fall apart.
I highly recommend this camera. feature such as a built in flash, many different automatic modes, a very quiet shutter, and a light wight body. The Rebel 2000 is great for a begining photographer looking for a high quality inexpensive camera. It has many features much more expensive cameras have.
