As a first time DLSR user this camera has been pretty easy to use for a novice when set to automatic. I'm not very fond of the Auto Focus but the manual focus is fairly easy and fast to use. The shutter speed is fairly decent as well. Now as for the photos...the photos are excellent. I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of photos that can be captured with ONLY what comes in the box and no other shooting accessories. Battery life is decent, but a higher capacity back up battery is recommended for a photo shoot surpassing 2+ hours. I have experienced some photos taken being lost or non-retrievable, but I have to chalk that up more to my extremely green inexperience with Pro Photography. This camera is good for the novice who likes to tinker a little bit, or the professional photographer. I like it a lot. For advanced shooting I would recommend a higer end camera with wifi uploading and an adjustable screen.

We bought the camera for our long planned Alaskan cruise. I like this camera, it's easy to hold and operate. The settings (landscape, portrait etc) display on the screen so I don't have to rely on looking at the dial. The pictures have been really nice, one could always use a bigger telephoto but these images were sharp.. I was concerned about the battery but it lasted over a week of use before charging. The case is not too big to carry. I'd buy this again.

This is my fifth digital camera, not counting smartphone, but first DSLR. Preceeding ones were two Nikon Coolpix and two Cannons "point and shoot." I bought the Rebel just before a trip to Hawaii, and I was concerned that I would struggle to learn it quickly enough to reliably use it. Not to worry. I used it landscape, closeups of flowers, rapid fire mode for crashing crazy surf, video mode, and the 300 mm telephoto as well. It worked just great. It allows one to use full automation of focus, aperture, and shutter settings, or various levels of manual control. Seems to have really good battery life, too. I definitely want to add more lenses for closeups and a bigger telephoto. After successful, but disappointing, experiences with the previous four cameras, I am blown away by this one. Don't forget to get UV filters for all lenses for dirt and scratch protection.
