The Little Rebellious Camera.

I started to think the other day, and my brain still hurts. Zing! What I was thinking about was my little "cheap" SLR, the Canon Rebel XT. I realized just how wonderful it really is. Because the camera is cheap, I carry it everywhere I go. I don't worry too much about it being lost, stolen, or damaged. As I said in previous posts, the best camera is the one that you have with you. Also, the camera is very compact, so it is very portable. If I have a smaller lens on it and no accessories it can be, errr, ummmm. It doesn't look professional, so people at concerts don't take it away. We'll leave it at that.

The XT is a tuff ol' bird too. It may feel like a Tonka toy, but it is holding up pretty darn good. Believe me, it has seen its fair share of hard knocks too. The shutter is still going strong and all the buttons still work.

The image quality of the XT is top notch. Even though this camera is a few years old now, it still holds its own when compared to the shiny new cameras. The new cameras have at least 12 megapixels nowadays, but this little guy has 8mp. Actually, 8mp is overkill most of the time. Heck, 8mp is even good for printing posters. I don't Megapixel envy at all.

In the end, my Canon Rebel XT is a very good little camera, that I use more than my professional gear.
