| the digital rebel is kinda tiny... | | Published by: cfz 2009-01-07 |
| | Today was the first time I got my hands on a digital Rebel XT. I thought it felt really small and cheap compared to the 30d and the nikon stuff. What about you?
I'm on 35mm, and I use a Nikon FE along with an MD-12 motordrive, and it’s like carrying a really loud anvil, its great! :) I've been searching about for DSLR's for school and IMO, the D70 is still too small for my big hands. I'm spending the extra $1000 on a D200 and the MB-D200 vertical grip, just because it’s the only thing that's big enough for me and Nikon makes something with a vertical shutter release for it, unlike the D70.

Oh yeah, the D200 isn't plastic. I HATE PLASTIC SLR'S!
i dont own one but i have been in and out of stores comparing them for the last few months. i like the grip and feel way more in the nikon. but if feild studies is your goal every bit of wieght counts on those long hauls. i suspect the cannon would be good for that. but how strong physically is it compared to the nikon? Just to be Contrary::
What this means is that the Digital Rebel XT has a viewfinder . hyper- hobbyist body in the film lineup, it's just the kind of camera that was lapped up

I have to agree. I prefer the D70 over the XT. I shoot a Canon 10D, my husband has the D70. We both thought the XT was very small and light feeling, but it's totally personal preference.
Well, I just tested it out on my black 350D, and the only 'damage' done was the finger marks left on the LCD screen. I checked over the entire body and there is an odd scratch or two, but it has been used quite regularly for over a year.
That is not a complaint I have heard of before, but I am curious if anyone on TPF has experienced the mentioned problem.
When I shoot with the 20d or an old Eos-1 film camera with booster and then switch to the original rebel it does feel like a toy. But it takes pictures so that's all I really care about
I will have to admit that the 350D can feel quite 'cheap' and small, but out of all honesty, if I was to look at two identical pictures, taken by the 20D (as I have never used a 30) and 350D I strongly doubt I could tell the difference. I personally use it was the battery grip, which adds a tiny bit of weight and feel of 'sturdiness'. molly.com » Looking for Love in a Digital Camera::
It’s same price range and does stuff similar, kinda. .. It’s tiny, but puts out sharp photos. I also own a Canon Digital Rebel XTi.

Although made of the same kind of synthetic materials, the Digital Rebel somehow seems more or less powerful than the tiny one that built into the 10D,

If all you are worried about is what the camera looks like, then you are missing the point.
to be honest I love the feeling of rebel xt.. it suits perfectly to my hands. when i tried 30d or 20d they were toobig and too heavy for me! same was with nikon d70s and d200! they are too big!
I own a Rebel XT an I really like the feel of it! It lays perfectly in my hand and isn't too heavy for me... my dad owns a 30D an this one really is to heavy for me...
The 1D Mark II N is massive. I think the battery pack alone weighs as much as 2 Rebels. I love it though, but to be honest I struggle to point the camera steady for more than about 30 seconds one handed with the 70-200 with TC mounted. Actually, recently I had all the above *and* the 430EX mounted (I was at a school function and I really needed the reach to get the people who were guest speakers).......but an Ixus just wouldn't have done the job:)
I think the 350D feels like a bit of a toy - but basically same internals as mine so no worries on the quality!

Ahhh but i like the shiney silver rebel! :lol:
Oh wait i'm a Nikon user... so never mind:blushing:
Ok, now a related question. I read somewhere that the plastic on the black rebel is prone to scratching by fingernails and such. Is there any truth to this and could the silver be better?
yepp, it just dosnt feel like a camera, just cheap and dosnt fit ur hand nice
Buy a nice tripod, and mount it on there permanently. You'll get sharper pictures, and you'll never notice how tiny or light it is. Image quality is paramount imho.
with the additional battery grip, (which youll probably end up getting anyway), the 350 is the perfect size. not to mention its very light. i keep a 350D as my backup on shoots. works perfect for me, and takes GREAT shots.

not missing the point here...i'm already quite impressed with the picture quality and ease of use and such. however, I like things to be comfortable and be able to be used daily without showing a lot of wear. thats all...
and I think that I've decided to get a rebel xt. :lmao:
The 350D is not really very small I don't think. I'm 6'3 with hands to match and I don't find it unusable at all. I Also have a 1n which is obviously alot bigger. Both are fine and I think really it just depends how picky a person you are to whether the size would bother you.
Being small has its benefits too remember.
