Canon Rebel XTi First Impression

June 03rd, 2008 | Category: Photography | Comment Feed

I just bought a Canon Rebel XTi for my travels.  Wow.  I’m no photographer, but I can totally appreciate the difference in quality between a point-and-shoot and the Rebel XTi.  I took some photos yesterday for fun, and I’m insanely impressed with the camera.  I spent a few minutes reading through the manual to learn about the camera’s settings, fiddled with things, and snapped off a few photos.  Prior to buying this camera I had a small understanding of photography principles such as exposure and ISO.  Some of the photos below were taken with a 28-105mm lens and others with a 75-300mm lens.  I can’t wait to get more usage out of this sucker.  Europe and China, prepare to get photographed!

    I have the model that’s a step down from yours (xt) but I love it. Yours must kick some major ass, we’ll have to share china pics

    Yeah I was considering the XT, but since my dad has a bunch of lenses I thought I would spend the extra money and get the XTi. I love it!
