Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera
This was my first DSLR. I wanted to buy a high zoom camera back then but I realized that the size of the camera that I wanted to buy was almost the same as this one. So, I decided that I wanted the flexibility of having a camera that has an interchangeable lens system so I went for this.
It's a very good first DSLR. I learned a lot with it, started in the P-mode, then graduated to Av-Mode. I got really good pictures from this and I was able to document significant memories in the early stages of my life with my wife. The pictures were great but I couldn't get anything really useable with shots taken beyond ISO 800. The shot rate is slow so I couldn't follow shooting wild geese, but otherwise, I was able to get really good pics of my friend's then 4 year old son.
I have now since replaced this with a Canon 7D and I've passed this on to a friend but I had great memories of this camera. Looking back, I regretted having given this up. It would've been a nice second, carry-everyday DSLR.
