Canon Rebel Ti - An Entry Level Camera? Okay, so everyone says the Rebel Ti is an "entry level" camera. My question is what makes it so basic? It has complete manual focus and exposure and autoexposure (from what I understand) so what's the deal? If I want to get a camera that won't be practically useless to me in a few years, what do you suggest?

Hi Josh In my opinion, no camera is completely useless. One of the main reasons why it is considered basic, is because you can't really do as much as you would want to compared to a manual camera. Plus, the instructions for it are easy to understand for someone who doesn't know "the basics". Regaurdless, the Rebel is a cool camera, I have used it a few times myself. The only thing that I am conserned with is how much they cost. I really don't know. All that I am saying is, you might be able to find a great camera that is used (and probably BARELY used) for cheaper. I don't know much about specific types of cameras, but I know that they have used camera shops and typically they will give you some honest advice about buying a used camera.

Okay, but can't you set the aperture and shutter speed on the Rebel Ti? Because if you can't set your own DOF, it's no good to me.

I just downloaded the instruction booklet of the Canon Rebel Ti and it has manual focus and aperture settings it even has that "bulb" setting your supposed to use for fireworks. And one of the coolest features I saw was the DOF preview button. so I think I am going to go with this camera... if anyone can't find anything wrong with those statements...

Hey Josh, The Rebel Ti IS a cool camera. I had my own fun with it. And besides, if you really like the camera, don't let anyone tell you any differently. What I figure is, as long as your comfortable with what you are working with, your photos will let that show. I can tell you it is no fun trying to learn a new camera that you know nothing about. In the end, of course, it is fullfilling! But enjoy your Rebel Ti. I know that a lot of other people do.

The Canon Rebel Ti is considered by many as an entry-level camera because, comparitively, it is very inexpensive. Sure it costs more than used manual focus cameras - but if you want to have the autofocus option (I know I would), then the Rebel series are all excellent cameras to work with.
