The Best Canon Rebel SLR Camera

If you've been considering the move into digital SLR photography, and anybody that's put up with the limitations of a simple point and shoot for more than a couple of years should be, than the Canon Rebel line of cameras should become a vital part of your lexicon. If it hasn't, then it's about to be.
The Canon Rebel line of digital SLR cameras are often classified as entry level SLRs. That title, may have somewhat of a negative connotation for anyone who believes in buying quality electronics. Nothing could be further from the truth. While it's true, that Canon (or Nikon or others) have the camera models that are more than capable of stretching your budget into the many thousands of dollars, there's not necessarily a reason to do so.
Canons latest top the the line Rebel, (the t1i) due to be released to the street in May of 2009 sells for around $900 including a pretty good kit lens. While that's not cheap for the average digital camera, this is not an average digital camera. When I remember spending $1000 for my first compact digital camera like 6 years ago, I get a little queasy. This sucker is a 15.1 megapixel camera, an image sensor from the much more expensive 50D, HD (1080P / 720P) video capture, live view, dust removal, and a DIGIC 4 processor. A first time SLR buyer would be happy with this camera for a long time.
Even if $900 is too steep for your budget, the nice thing, is that you can still find the older Rebel cameras going back to the XT for sale, with almost as many features, for even less money. Some used, and some new, but you can find the Rebel XT, XTi, and XSi, and XS for as low as $450 brand new.
Getting the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.
