Canon Digital Cameras Xt
Does anyone have a Canon Digital Reval XT camera?
I want to buy a nice digital camera before my baby is born, and was wondering what you like and dislike about it. And if it takes good and professional looking pictures (especially of people)
Thanks
Or – get a Nikon D40. The mode dial even offers a “Child” mode. They say, “Use for snapshots of children. Clothing and background details are vividly rendered while skin tones are given a soft natural finish. The camera [automatically] selects the focus area containing the closest subject.”

You can get the D40 with the 18-55 kit lens at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping or at 1-800-622-4987) for $550 (May 2007) and this is with TWO Lexar 1 GB cards. You can get the same kit with one Lexar Platinum (higher speed) card for $560.
If you are going to go with Canon, I will agree with KoKo and say that you ought to get the Rebel XTi, as long as you are taking the plunge. The XT with the “standard” 18-55 lens and a 2 GB memory card will cost you $630 and the XTi set up the same way will cost you $790.
Gee. The D40 doesn’t look so bad next to those prices, does it? (haha)

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM Wide Angle Zoom Lens $1099 This lens was designed for the Canon Digital Rebel, EOS Digital Rebel XT, EOS 30D and EOS 20D Digital SLRs, and will only work with these cameras. The Canon 1242B002 EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM offers image quality on a par with Canon’s highly regarded L-series lenses. It has a large maximum aperture which, combined with higher shutter speeds can minimize subject motion blur. Shallow depth-of-field separation of a subject from its background is much easier to achieve and the f/2.8 maximum aperture allows a bright finder and extremely precise focusing with f/2.8 compatible AF sensors. The internal stabilization has a sharpness benefit equivalent to a three-stop faster shutter speed, making this lens outstanding in low light situations. Smaller and lighter than lenses of similar specifications, the EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 27-88mm and is compatible only with the EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel XT and EOS Digital Rebel SLRs. ? 17-55mm Zoom Range Equivalent to 27-88mm in 35mm Format ? Ultrasonic (USM) motor for silent auto focusing operation and very quick focus even in low-light conditions ? Image Stabilization Technology ? Two Ultra-Low Dispersion UD Glass Lens Elements for excellent color rendition ? Three Aspherical Lens Elements to eliminate spherical aberration ? Optimized Lens Coating for Digital Cameras ? Compatible models: EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel XT, EOS |
