The wife wants a digital camera for Christmas. I am looking at the Cannon Digital Rebel with a canon EF 24 – 85 mm usm lens. Does anyone have the digi rebel and what are your opinions of it?
Thanks John

Awesome. If you have other EF Lenses or accessories they fit. I have had it since it came out a year ago and taken thousands of photo's. Get a 512mn compact flash and you can taken 148 photos at 6mb pixel. I have a 75-300mm USM telephoto and it is a great lens.

You won't disappointed with the performance and image quality of the Rebel. The only draw back is the flash; some lens (not the kit lens) will block it and leave a dark semi-circle at the bottom of the image.
Question; is she looking for a "35mm" style camera? For less money you can get the G5 which has all the features of the Rebel, including great image quality, in a smaller package. It's also a great closeup camera with top of the line optics.

The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
The penalty for inaccuracy is more work
