While researching cameras, most blogs recommended the T1i. Ultimately, the video feature available on this camera was the deciding factor. I was originally looking a less expensive Canon cameras, but the video feature made it too good to pass up.
As a beginner with SLRs, this camera is extremely user friendly. I only wish I could memorize how to work all the features better.
What's great about it: Quality of photos!
What's not so great: Software CD provided - should be online downloadable too
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am absolutely amazed by this camera. It is extremely easy to use for someone who has little to no experience but as I learn more it has many detailed features that allow an experienced photographer to do lots of things. I am very pleased with the camera and have not seen any downfalls of it except that the lens that it comes with is not a lens with close enough zoom, but I planned on purchasing another lens anyway so that is not a big deal.
What's great about it: Ease of use, just point and shoot if you want and go!
What's not so great: Lens that comes with it does not have great zoom.
I would recommend this to a friend!

There did not appear to be a big difference between this one and the newer model. Two weeks after purchasing it, an even new model came out that made us a little dissappointed. We still took great shots with it. Since it wasn't on sale, we used discounts to make it cheaper. We found that the flash and an external flash did not help our pictures. The best color was without using the flash when there is enough light inside.
What's great about it: pictures were great
What's not so great: figuring out what settings work best

I have been frustrated for so long by my multiple point and shoot cameras that I've had over the years that I finally decided to invest in a SLR. WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT SOONER!!!!! The shutter speed is so fast, I never get frustrated by missing that quick-as-lightning perfect smile from the kids or well..anything else. lol.. I am as amateur as they come with photography, but my Goddaughter won most photogenic in a pageant from one of my pictures! I would reccommend this camera to anyone who wants to take some great photos..plain and simple. The manual walks you through the different modes, and is very helpful. The battery life is amazing, I take a few pictures almost daily, have done several sessions of 200+ pictures, and i've only had to charge the battery twice in the month & a half i've had the camera. If you're debating on getting this camera..STOP & go get it before you miss anymore memories!
What's great about it: so easy to use, great price match from best buy, long battery life, excellent picture quality
What's not so great: NOTHING!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my first DSLR. I love how easy it was to use right out of the box. Once the battery was charged, I started taking pictures instantly. The camera feels sturdy and takes beautiful pictures. I love that I can change the settings just to see what they do, and go right back to all auto with only the flip of a switch. The battery life is great. Would recommend this camera to anyone looking to purchase their first DSLR

Fantastic value. The kit lens is obviously not pro quality, but much better than any point and shoot. Shutter release feels instantaneous, LCD is very clear, (930,000 dots!) so picture viewing is easy. everything is instant feeling. You can take a pic within 1/10th of a second after turning the camera on. Has a sleep mode that saves the battery very well and wakes up in just a second with a half press of the shutter button. up to 12,800 ISO for very high performance in dim situations. even at iso 800 and even 1600 there is almost no grain! Autofocus is very fast and precise. I have taken many nice pics already and purchased extra lenses and am totally happy! my only gripe is that the mode selection dial does not turn 360 degrees, going from video mode to a-dep mode requires almost a full turn
What's great about it: Easy to use, great pics, nice price, high quality, long battery life
What's not so great: Not having one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have only had this camera for two weeks, I purchased the Rebel XS and wasn't satisfied with the quality of the pictures and returned it for the Rebel t1i and I love it. It is so much faster than a point and shoot, light weight and great pictures. I am still learning what settings to use to get the perfect picture. Still can't get a great snow picture. Worth the extra $$ I gave for it.
What's great about it: light weight, easy to use.
What's not so great: the software is terrible, hard to edit photo.

It took me about a week to pick between the Nikon, Sony, and the Canon. I reviewed features based on the prices, etc. Obviously we chose the Canon and so grateful we did!
I know a lot of people don't like to read the booklets, but when you purchase something this awesome you really need to read everything that comes with it. You can tell the "before we read" pictures from the "after we read" ones (not by much), but the features are so much more advanced than we were used to (based on our cheap cameras).
This was our first big camera purchase & we have really enjoyed taking action shots of our 2 year old :)
Great camera~!
What's great about it: Great Features
What's not so great: Price is high

This is my first DSLR camera. My wife bought it for me for christmas and I literally have not put it down since. She knew I wanted a great camera and this camera makes me feel like a photographer. With the picture perfect shots I get with the camera, I think I may take some colleges courses on becoming a part time photographer now. This camera takes awesome shots and great video. Do not second guess this camera. Any professional photographer would definitely recommend this camera as a start up or slightly advance user.
What's great about it: The pictures are picture perfect
What's not so great: There are no cons
I would recommend this to a friend!

This camera was well worth the money. I was interested in the T2i but the features for the price difference was not worth it in my mind. This camera is everything it says to be if not more. For what this camera is, the quality is quite nice and it isn't too difficult to teach yourself how to use it if you're not familiar with it. I would recommend this camera to anyone for starting out your photography career. I do however recommend buying an additional battery if you intend on using this camera frequently throughout the day. Battery life is pretty good depending on how often you use it.
What's great about it: Great price, Great quality, Good sized screen, Very versatile, Battery life is decent
What's not so great: Not much.
