Canon EOS Rebel Ti

[wjlapier]

Anyone shoot with this camera? I have once and it was a fun experience. I only have the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens but it's plenty sharp and fast to focus. I loaded some hand spooled Trix and it pulled the film out of the cartridge! Gonna have to make a stronger connection on that end. It's got a lot of features I like like changing the focus point, changing ISO, the usual PSAM and some other modes I won't use. Pretty small too. I think it's a keeper--might take the place of my tiny Olympus Stylus and Konica Mini.

It's another super capable camera that can be had at a bargain because it is not fashionable. Enjoy!

I had one, a coworker passed on to me when her husband went digital. I thought it was pretty good camera, got a lot of features for very little money, well for me it was free. The only downside was the kit level 35 to 70, likely the worse 35 to 70 I've ever used. I've read that a few photojournalist used Rebels, would take a brace of them and just toss when they no longer worked. I hadn't used mine for a few years, like 5 or 6 when I pulled it out of storage no longer worked. .

I have, and use, a Canon EOS 300 (Rebel 2000), EOS 50E (EOS Elan IIE) and 1000f (EOS Rebel S) with various kit and other AF & IS lenses including my Canon EF 17 - 41mm L and 24 - 105mm L series lens. I'm an old fashioned sort of guy (shooting since the 1950's) that has never felt the need for all the bells and whistles of the more upmarket cameras so today these much maligned and very cheap cameras are ideal, especially the AF as my ageing eyesight sometimes struggles with focussing. The IS on the later lenses is also great as my hands are no longer as steady as they once were. Sadly, advancing years and physical capabilitires means that my LF (5x4) and MF TLR's are spending more time on the shelf than on the tripod these days so any kit that allows me to continue shooting has got to be good.
PS I hope I have got the US designation of these cameras correct.

Think of film Rebels as well appointed P&S cameras for little money, and enjoy them for what they are.

I have two of them, called 300V over here. I bought the first one boxed for very little money, it was just too cheap to pass. Soon after that, I bought another one for 11€ or so, cheaper that what a Portra 400 would cost me, imagine that... I'm not exactly fond of the silver plastic finish of the early 2000s, but other than that, it's a perfectly capable little camera that is a joy to use. AF and metering are both fine. They only slightly annoying thing about it is that it won't leave the leader out. Overall, they're fine little cameras.

The prices are cheap for the body but also for the 40mm lens. It's near 35mm what I like with the Olympus and Konica's I use for AF. I like the AF too for quick grabs, and as was mentioned meter is very good and the focus is fast and accurate. And moving the focus dot around is a big plus.

Loaded another of hand spooled Trix this time the film was pulled from the cartridge.

I have an Xti that I really like....but that would be off topic

I bought an EOS rebel Ti for my wife when it first came to market. Along with a kit zoom lens, I added the 50mm f/1.8 and the battery grip.

We traveled a lot and that camera never so much as hiccuped. Europe, South America, hiking in the backcountry, kayaking, you name it, it’s been there, made great photos and survived to play another day. She’s not a photographer but she enjoys taking and sharing pictures. The EOS never failed and really never screwed up the exposure or focus. She still has it and as far as I know, it still works perfectly.

after she got a digital camera, I used the Ti as a very capable P&S.

The rebel 2000 and later models are pretty featured, light, reliable, and cheap
Great daily carry around cameras

I have a Rebel K2, very similar to the Ti. Great little cameras, very light but quite competent.
