Camera ?????

What are your opinions on the Canon EOS digital rebel T1i? Im looking into getting this camera and wanted some reviews. This will also be my first dslr camera. Thanks.

I have had Nikons but I do read that the rebels are good starter cameras for the Canon line. You can also look into a Nikon D40 if you are interested in other brands. You can pick one up used for a good price and they take very good pictures

It's a good camera.

Good read thanks.

I would look at the Canon T2I. It has some additional features that are well worth the money!

I agree with Josh and would go with the T2I if I was going to purchase a camera in the Rebel lineup. I have had Canon products for several years and shoot thousands of photos a year and never have had an issue with anything from Canon. Another piece of advice I would give is get the body only and buy the lens separate, don't get the kit. The kit lens is OK but I think you're better off taking the money you save by getting the body only and putting that towards a better piece of glass.

You can find a pretty in depth review of the T2I on dpreview

Hmmm, you've been shooting mountains too much...

Well thanks for all the replies after being to several stores and playing around with them. I ended up buying a Nikon 5000. It just felt better in my hands. Thanks again.

I have the D5000 also and I love it. It has some pretty nice features. I bought the body only though and I'm using a 18-200mm lens for everyday shooting. I can't say enough good things about it.

Oh and if you have the extra cash, the sb-600 is way worth the money. Its the better flash and since the sb-900 is the higher end you can find a 600 fairly cheap. I got mine at best buy for 209.99 on sale. the picture quality is 100x better with that in place of the stock pop up flash
