Canon Digital Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black)Review

I bought the kit, and was pleased with everything but the camera bag.

Pros: The rebel xs is simply an underrated D SLR...thank GOD for this as I got it at a very good price. The XS is a very quick cam, great entry level pro cam pics. Auto mode is fantastic, Manual mode is awesome. Live view is incredible, not actually great for moving shots, but o.k. in that use, but it's an amazing feature, works almost exactly like on a point and shoot, but not exactly.(meaning you see clearly on the lcd, but it focuses slower, and pans slower, it shuts off when you half press the shutter to allow the camea to do the rest. The view finder is fabulous, clean clear, represents the lens perfectly
2. 8GB transcend card is really a high speed card, no problems whatsoever.
3. Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 auto focus lens. It's a good telephoto lens, does really nice and sharp macros. Great buy!
4. The other accessories work well. Spare battery has allowed me well over 700 shots, and it still reads full bars

Cons: 1 Canon EOS software is problematic to work with, constantly beach balls and requires a force quit. MAC version.
2. Camera bag is really cheap looking and cheap quality. " Leather handle"???? too small to have any effect, would have at least been good if the strap were long enough to wrap around your body good enough, and I am just shy of skinny at 175 pounds. Bag is also not secure in it's locks and clips, in fact one clip broke before I opened the plastic. terrible
Would have given 5 stars if it were just camera and lens, but DSLR's need a competent bag because you need to carry around lenses most times.
I wish amazon ( cameta camera) puts together a Lens kit with a 50mm F2.8prime lens with a 18-270mm F3.5-5.6 Telephoto and a 3piece filter set.No tripod necessary, too expensive to ship to the caribbean.

Complete kit is worth it. I would buy this again but with a different camera bag definitely.
