I purchased the Rebel 2000 after a couple of months of serious comparison shopping. My decision came down to the Nikon N60 and the Rebel 2000. The cameras share 90% of their features but the Canon provided 7 pointautofocusing, 35 zone metering and a depth of field preview. You would haveto spend almost $1000 to get these features on a Nikon. The only reason Ieven had to make a choice between the two was because the Nikon hassuperior optics and a more sturdy "feeling" aluminum body. TheNikon felt great in my hands and while I enjoyed the light weight of thecanon, I was fearful of it's ability to take a beating. Then, Ithought..."will i abuse my camera...NO...could an aluminum body handlea 4ft drop from my hands?...NO!So what's the difference. Don't beafraid of the alloy body! Some are under the impression that if it costsover $100, it should be heavy?Enjoy the freedom that these newproducts and the materials can afford us. The lens mounts hold up justfine. Most beginners will only buy two lenses anyway and won't change themvery often. I have a trusted friend in a camera repair shop who says thenew plastics are plenty strong enough and he hasn't repaired one yet. Thisis a great camera. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars for a lack of spotmetering. Don't buy the standard 28-80 lens. It's lacking. Buy a bodyonline for less than $260. Save your money and then buy a 28-105 or 28-135USM lens. Always buy good glass!You won't be disappointed with this buy.
