If you're looking to get into digital photography then today you're in for a real treat because i'm going to tell you about the Canon Rebel XS which in my opinion is the best entry level camera ever made. So if you want to get into photography but you think it maybe too complicated then you have no excuse because learning digital photography with the Canon Rebel XS is a breeze and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Before I go into any detail on the Rebel however I would like to mention that there are many other good camera manufacturers and models out there that you may also enjoy. One such camera is the Nikon D3000 which is an amazing camera for a beginner photographer wanting to purchase their first DSLR Camera.
When I first started photography I narrowed my choices of DSLR camera down to three different cameras from 3 different camera manufacturers. These cameras were the Nikon D3000, Sony Alpha A230 and the Canon Rebel XS. After a few hours of playing around with the three different cameras there was a clear winner in my mind and that winner was the Canon Rebel XS, and here is why.
Easy to use
The Canon Rebel XS is very easy to use and it doesn't have buttons here, there and everywhere which often can confuse even the more seasoned photographers. The Rebel XS simply has enough buttons to get the job done. It doesn't try to be too fancy or show off in any way. This camera was built for the novice photographer in mind and it does an excellent job of doing so.
The camera also comes with an 18-55mm kit lens. Now this kit lens is really good for everyday situations but I found where there's hardly no light it will struggle, this isn't a major concern though because all entry level dslr cameras will come with a similar lens and they will all struggle in low light situations.
If you think you will be using your camera in dark locations then you can always get a flash Speedlite or you could get the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens which is very affordable and probably one of Canons best lenses when you're on a budget. The 50mm f1.8 lens is perfect for portrait photography, every day photography and photography for special occasions.
If you have a look around you can even find the Canon Rebel XS, Kit lens and 50mm f1.8 lens in a bundle deal.
