Answer 1

The only downside I know about for this camera is that it does not use a full 35mm size (1"x1 1/2") CMOS sensor. On the other hand, only 3 DLSR systems I know about use the full size sensor, and the least expensive of these starts out at over $3000 for the camera body without a lens. The XTI is a top quality and very flexible entry level SLR that will take better pictures and do more things than the photographer using it will usually achieve.
Maybe I can shed a little light in your lens focal length questions. The normal focal lens for your camera is in the 26 - 28mm range. At this setting your camera sees things about like your eye does. At focal lengths of less than 26mm, the lens is at what we call wide angle mode which means that things look farther away and your camera sees more area that your eye would normally see. The shorter the focal length is set for, the more area it will see.
When the lens is set at greater than 28mm, it is in the telephoto range. This means that far away objects seem closer than your eye would actually see them. The higher the focal length setting, the closer objects seem to be.
In answer to your 18mm - 200mm reference, that lens is a bit more than a 10x zoom (20 - 200mm would be a perfect 10x). On your camera this would translate into a lens which can be adjusted from slight wide angle to about an 8x magnification telephoto. A lens that would be classified as a 3x - 10x zoom lens (which translates as 3x telephoto to 10x telephoto lens) would be a 75mm to 250mm zoom lens for your camera.
I don't know of any good quality zoom lens in the 18 - 200mm range. Canon does not make anything in that great of a range. That much of a zoom is optically asking for a lot in a lens and for a lens in that zoom range to be of much quality, it would have to be very expensive. Also just something to be aware of about lenses in the telephoto range, the more the image magnification of a lens, the more the camera movement magnification. To get sharp images with your camera. you should use a tripod for any picture taken with a lens setting of more than 50mm. The longer telephoto lenses will take excellent sharp pictures when supported properly, but the slightest camera movement will make unsharp pictures, and even the best of the professional photographers has a hard hand time hand holding a camera steady at more than 2x magnification.

200/18=11x zoom

There isn't really anything good or bad about the top of the lines dslr camera Nikon Sony olympus canon all make great camera's. I ended up picking a sony because it's image stabilize feature.

There are not really any good lens in 18x200 because anything with a long zoom range like that will not give you a good lens. They will be less sharp and the lens speed will be slow so low light pictures will be harder. That's the reason you're buying a Dslr so you can change out the lens. Try to get something around 20-80 then 80-200 then couple fixed (50mm is good one)

Trust me you can put a lot of money into this. You can get "nice lens" that cost more than my car :)

If money is a problem i would start with a 20-80ish lens then later one add on a long range if you really even use it? if you dont you can buy a super fast 50mm lens for cheap.

Answer 3

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT (no i) and I have not had any problems with it. It came with a 18-55mm lens and I bought a Quantaray 70-300mm telephoto that works very well. I do find I have trouble keeping steady enough with the long lens so I often brace against something when I can. I live in the mountains so I use the long lens for animal shots and scenic stuff.

Answer 4

I won't knock Canon or Nikon. However, I will offer the suggestion that you should look at the Pentax K100D Super, K10D and the Sony A100 and A700.

The K100D Super is 6.1mp, has Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor, and can use every K-mount lens made since 1975. Of course the older lenses will require manual focus but at least they'll have the benefit of IS.

The K10D is 10mp, extremely well-sealed against dust and moisture (no, it isn't water-proof) and has the same features as the K100D Super.

The Sony A100 is 10mp, has Super Anti-Shake in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor and you can use every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. It can also use many of the Maxxum accessories.

The A700 is 12mp and has the same features as the A100 plus some additional features.

You can read reviews of all 4 of these cameras at dpreview.com and do a side by side comparison.

Answer 5

the respond approximately application Mode vs motor vehicle is good on. i anticipate comprehensive motor vehicle has somewhat green field to go with (I even have the XT, no longer XTI, so i'm uncertain in the event that they're distinctive). application Mode is P. comprehensive motor vehicle will pop up the flash whilst it thinks it desires it (you won't be able to rigidity it up if comprehensive motor vehicle would not think of it desires it). in case you prefer to fireside the flash no remember what, say for a fill flash, you would be able to desire to apply considered one of the different modes, like application Mode or handbook as already reported. verify your handbook. no remember if it is something like mine, below "progressed Operations" it provide you a catalogue of issues you're able to do below application which you won't be able to do below comprehensive motor vehicle.
