Canon EOS Rebel G/ EOS 500N

I loved this camera so much that I got another one and traded my zx-7 and my zx-30 pentax cameras for a used canon eos a2. I still love the rebel g the most it fits my small hands like it was made for them and the camera seems to think like I do. The a2 may be alot faster but I am in love with the rebel g.

Light small all the stuff on it most will ever need.

Canon makes a bad pop up flash. Maybe they had the right idea with the rebel x no flash.

Pentax pz-70 wich i still have and love.Pentax zx-7 and zx-30 that i traded they dont focus well in low light.

none yet

This is a really nice camera with lots of versatility and options. I had a Minolta Maxxum Qtsi before this and it doesnt even match up. I dont really understand the creative zone options yet but im learning. i really like the 3 point focusing. the manual doesnt really clear any of the advanced features up so i dont like that part. also, in the pre-programmed modes, i dont know of any way to bypass the flash. if anyone does, let me know. other then that, im pretty happy so far.

good $$ lots of options light weight

owners manual is horrible semi-slow focus

This is my first "big purchase" camera and I love it. The quality of the photos are all that I imagined they would be. I love taking pictures of my baby and then people asking me where I had them done. It was real easy to pick up how to use it and I rarely even have to look at the manual. Eventually I would like to get something better, but I am happy with this version for now.

This camera is great. Good body, good lens. I bought in a kit with a 28-90mm lens. This camera feels great, and works like a dream. The features are easy to use. It has auto and manual settings. I have already tried the macro, setting and I was impressed! The pictures come out clean and crisp. This is a great camera for anyone that wants both manual and auto control. Plus it is the best camera for the price.

Inexpensive Great Picture Quality. Auto and manual Excellent battery life Well built body and lens mount.

Only has 3 auto-focus points.

None needed.

I purchased this camera used with Christmas money and can honestly say it was money incredibly well-spent. I do a lot of photography where I mainly shoot photographs of people just "doing their thing" and have found it a great camera for this application. It''s also my choice for when I go into the studio when I want to use a 35mm camera. For both of these applications, it has enough bells and whistles to make it fairly easy to get the photograph I expect, but not enough to distract me from the photograph. I must admit, however, I''m not terribly interested in everything-but-the-kitchen-sink models such as the Elan 7 or EOS-1V. I have not experienced any terrible problems with the metering, though it does tend to underexpose just a hair when shooting indoors. Surely not more than a half-stop. I have never used its flash. I really abuse this camera more than it deserves, but nothing has broken or otherwise acted up on me at all yet. I have used it on occasion for sports photography (when I prefer to have one camera with a 75-300mm lens and one with a 35-80) and have had no shutter problems. I have used this camera for four months now and think I have found a lifelong friend. The only thing that I find lacking is a depth of field preview, but most of the time, you don''t need it. This is truly a fine camera and I highly recommend it for just about anybody.
