Love Canon! November 5, 2009
Viktor Nagornyy (Rochester, NY)
As always Canon delivers an awesome, very simple camera. The body is very lightweight, which is a plus when you start adding heavy lenses.
Great camera!
 Great product! September 17, 2009

The seller was very eager to please, as I was unable to track the product on the USPS website, and he assured me of the date it had been shipped and that he would see what he could do to fix the problem. The camera is in excellent condition, and I am enjoying learning how to use it!
Love it! September 17, 2008

I have had this camera for at least 2 years now. It is pretty easy to use. There is 1 little issue and that is that I don't know what the zoom i am on when I am between numbers. Other than that, I don't have any issues with it. I recommend this camera to anybody especially if it's your first SLR camera.
I Love This Camera March 18, 2005

I started out with a Canon SLR camera from the 70's and over time saved up enough money to buy this one. It's absolutely awesome! I'm desperately in love with my new Canon SLR! It's lightweight and has tons of features.
If you buy this camera, you should also think about buying extra lenses because the lens that comes with it is just your standard lens. Thankfully, Canon makes all different kinds that will work with this camera.
Inexpensive fun camera for students and shutterbugs February 26, 2005

I had been using digital cameras for about four years (including my current Canon Digital Rebel) before deciding to attend a photo class at a junior college to improve my skills. The class needed a film camera, so I got the least expensive film SLR that Canon makes, which is this Rebel GII. Although it's pretty simplistic, it's more than enough for both students and shutterbugs.
The camera is very light and small. Most importantly, it accepts all Canon EF lenses, which is great. If you are a student and you're wondering whether to buy the camera body only or the camera with a kit lens, I would recommend you get the body only and get a different lens. For my photography classes, all you needed was a 50mm ("normal") lens, and Canon sells an extremely inexpensive but excellent lens, the 50mm f1.8 mkII, for about $75. That lens and this camera go together hand-in-hand; together they are still very inexpensive and light, so you should not have any hesitation to bring your camera everywhere you go. If you are looking for a modestly-priced but excellent zoom, you may want to consider the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 with Canon EF mount instead of Canon's own 24-85mm or 28-105mm (both of those are ok, but neither open up to f2.8, which, believe me, you will want as you progress with your studies).
There are some limitations to this inexpensive camera as you would expect. The autofocus has only 3 focus points (my Digital Rebel has 7 points, and higher-end cameras have 45). The fastest shutter is 1/2000 seconds (my Digital Rebel's fastest is 1/4000), so under sunny-16 conditions, you may not be able to reach your widest apertures because the shutter will not be fast enough. There is no depth-of-field preview. Finally, in manual exposure mode, you control the shutter speed with the top dial, but to control the aperture you must simultaneously hold down a button and turn the dial (similar to my Digital Rebel, but higher-end cameras have two separate dials).
Negatives aside, this is an excellent SLR camera for the price. It is perfect for students and anyone who just wants to have inexpensive fun with an SLR.
