Enjoy. Set it down gently and handle it properly as to avoid ruining the lens or some component within the camera. I disagree. I highly recommend this camera for someone who is starting out and wants to learn more. 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 will grow with you. The body seems fine to me, and to be quite honest, a camera is not something that you should be rough with. 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. I bought this camera a year ago as my starter camera to learn about film photography. Another review mentioned the body being cheap.
The pictures have been fantastic.
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. 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. 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. The body was very easily scratched, and basically burned out less than 2 years after I bought it.
I may just have to upgrade to another Canon SLR.I bought the Rebel 2000 over a year and a half ago. I was very happy with the AE-1 but was having trouble seeing to focus in low-light situations.
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. 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.
So far the Rebel 2000 has been a great camera - I think I've used every feature at least once. I like to use an off-camera shutter trigger of some kind in portrait and low-light conditions to minimize camera shake.
I love the camera but it seems difficult to find some accessories which I had come to rely on with my old camera. My previous camera was a twenty-year-old Canon AE-1.
I was sold a Canon Remote Control RC1 which did not work.
You should buy it. I say stay away from it. it's like this thing has a timer on it. When the warranty expires, it will literally fall apart. I'm kidding, it totally rules.
It has many features much more expensive cameras have. I highly recommend this camera. The Rebel 2000 is great for a begining photographer looking for a high quality inexpensive camera. feature such as a built in flash, many different automatic modes, a very quiet shutter, and a light wight body.
