This is one of the best choices in cameras at present. . ., October 20,
2000
Reviewer: michael adkins
I work in a retail camera store and I have sold more Rebel 2000 camera
kits than any other kind of SLR, and I have seen very few returns due to
dissatisfaction. The Rebel 2000 has an impressive list of features such as
multiple exposure, auto exposure bracketing, selectable focal points, and
a full range of factory presets(such as auto for the beginner). Most
beginning photographers find the camera's internal lcd screen easy to
understand and the built in speedlite (flash) is also a huge plus with
this camera. The only negative things that I have to say about the camera
is it's weight. I have many older cameras and they were made out of real
metal and this just can't compare. The only real option to escape a
plastic bodied camera is to a. find an older one, b. get a professional
grade camera, or c. go without since most every SLR company out there is
making their cameras out of light-weight plastic. For example, the Nikon N
60 was one of the only cameras out there that was heavier than the Rebel
2000. The N60 is being replaced by the N65 and, from what I have been
told, it will actually be lighter and better able to compete with the
Canon Rebel 2000. In other words the N60 is being replaced with a camera
that is full of features and light just like the Rebel 2000. It will be
interesting to see how well the Rebel 2000 competes with the new Nikon N65
because they are both going to be in about the same price point.
So, if someone wants a very nice camera with a full range of Canon
accesories and lenses to back it up--this is the camera. One could also
upgrade to one of the many other Canon SLRs out there, but for the amateur
to advanced amateur user this camera will last them for a very long time.

Rebel 2000 body, June 24, 2000
Reviewer: TJ Lundgren
The Rebel 2000 is great for a begining photographer looking for a high
quality inexpensive camera. It has many features much more expensive
cameras have. feature such as a built in flash, many different automatic
modes, a very quiet shutter, and a light wight body. I highly recommend
this camera.

Great Beginner SLR Camera to Grow With!!, March 12, 2005
Reviewer: E. Petersen "epete179"
I bought this camera a year ago as my starter camera to learn about film
photography. I really didn't know anything about photography when I
purchased it, and I still have A LOT to learn, however, I feel as though
it's a camera that can grow with me. It has automatic presets that make
taking photos for a novice handy - not much thought required, but also
allows you to set manual settings so you can experiment and learn.
Another review mentioned the body being cheap. I disagree. The body seems
fine to me, and to be quite honest, a camera is not something that you
should be rough with. Set it down gently and handle it properly as to
avoid ruining the lens or some component within the camera.
The pictures have been fantastic. I highly recommend this camera for
someone who is starting out and wants to learn more. It will grow with
you. Enjoy!

Realize what entry level means..., August 29, 2004
Reviewer: Adi Adler
Being an entry level SRL, the camera body is cheap & light because it is
made out of plastic. This more than fine for someone who'd like an SRL to
use for specal occasions - kids'birthdays, graduations, or the occasional
family road trip.
But if you're a serious photogapher, who plans doing much heavier
photography and / or traveling, let me suggest you look for a sturdier
camera, since my experience with this camera wasn't very good. The body
was very easily scratched, and basically burned out less than 2 years
after I bought it.
So if you're a photo enthuseist looking for a good camera - please
consider the fact that this camera wears out quickly (partly because of
the plastic), and sooner of later you may be looking for a sturdier body.

Excellent entry level camera, September 14, 2002
Reviewer: S. Riches "steffer322"
I love the camera but it seems difficult to find some accessories which I
had come to rely on with my old camera. I may just have to upgrade to
another Canon SLR.
I bought the Rebel 2000 over a year and a half ago. My previous camera was
a twenty-year-old Canon AE-1. I was very happy with the AE-1 but was
having trouble seeing to focus in low-light situations. So far the Rebel
2000 has been a great camera - I think I've used every feature at least
once. I added a 100 mm portrait lens.
My only dissatifaction is that I haven't been able to find a remote or
off-camera shutter release that works. I was sold a Canon Remote Control
RC1 which did not work. I like to use an off-camera shutter trigger of
some kind in portrait and low-light conditions to minimize camera shake. I
also can't find the cable to connect the hot shoe to my studio lights.
On the whole, I am happy with the Canon Rebel 2000.
