Ryan, I bought a Canon Digital Rebel recently and love it. I only have the lens that came with the camera (18-55 mm). However it is compatible with 50 Canon lenses. Canon has set a new standard for digital SLR's at a more affordable price. Canon's website has a lot of information on it. I have also read several magazine articles, all of which had very positive things to say.

I just got one and LOVE it I got lens came with and the canon 75-300 which with fullest zoom I could still get decent handheld shots from it. My four new portfolio shots are first day shots, not having read the manual or anything. I think it is a great choice!!

thanks alot guys checked out those websites and the feedback, now just got to make a decision between the Rebel or the other Canon 1500.00 dollor model. I noticed that alot of people mentioned the problem with the built in flash and underexposed shots also no lcd use for taking pictures.

You can never use the LCD to take photos with DSLRs so you will have the same problem with the more expensive ones too.

Yeah I am looking for new camera too! But I have under $900.00 budjet and I like the LCD feature. I also love manual focus and the option to change lenses. Anyone with suggestions of good cameras would be appreciated.

i got the digital rebel a few weeks ago, and i love it too. I researched pretty hard, and the main difference from the Rebel to the 10D (1500 body only) is that the body is more durable. the specs are all about the same. Can't beat the price of the Rebel. If you get the 10D you still need to get a lens so your pushing 2k out of the gate. A friend of mine just got a 10D so i'll get a better comparison from him soon when i get to play with it! ;)

I've had my Rebel for about three weeks now, and I must say, it's a really sweet machine. The only negative surprize I got in spite of my research was the way it tended to underexpose shots. However, I've found that this may, in fact, be a blessing, as you're unlikely to wash out the high end of photos, and a little digital darkroom magic fixes the darkness to whatever level you want. At that point, the images are just immaculate. I've found it offers more flexability from a processing standpoint over what I had before. I'm quite comfortable giving you my recommendation, for whatever that's worth. :)

I'll preface this by saying this is just my personal perspective. I think both the 10D and 300D are exceptional cameras; which is more appropriate depends on the user and intended use(s).
You seem to be an advanced user, so I would recommend you look very closely at the differences between the 10D and 300D; there is alot more than just the body construction. If you need many advanced features, the 10D is the camera for you. The price difference is really not that great in the long run, since the body is far less than half of a total system investment (with either camera, excellent glass is required to get the best possible results).
