Canon EOS Rebel 2000 Body Only 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Light-weight; simple, straight forward and easy to use
Cons: No PC socket and too plastic looking

Canon's EOS Rebel lines began in 1990 with the introduction of the EOS Rebel line of auto focus cameras. The EOS Rebel II, S, SII and Date models soon followed. In 1995, Canon redesigned the EOS Rebel body to accommodate small hands by introducing the...

Pros: Wonderful design, takes sharp pictures, easy to operate
Cons: Some problems with the flash; too big to carry around a lot

The Canon Rebel is about the best gift I ever received. This easy-to-use camera has given me hundreds of hours of happy shooting. It does a great job with everything from breaking waves to portraits of my kids to close-ups of Monarch butterflies...

Pros: Pictures are so good they make someone with no photography experience look like a pro; easy to use; light weight; lots of features
Cons: Expensive. Not the type of camera you would hand to a stranger on the street and ask "Can you take a picture of me in front of this fountain?"

When I applied for a job as a newspaper reporter two years ago at a small, but highly regarded, weekly paper, I had all the job requirements except one: photography skills. Much to my pleasure, though, the editors liked my written work and decided to...

Pros: Price, features, availability of support from other users, easy to upgrade
Cons: Somewhat cheaply made, difficulties with autofocus

The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 is a great beginner SLR at a great price. I purchased this camera in Aug. 2002 along with the Canon 28-80/f3.5-5.6 lens in anticipation of taking a photography class, which I finish up this week. I had no SLR experience before...

Pros: lightweight, easy to use, versatile, perfect for novices
Cons: occasional delayed shooting..but I think that is the photographers defect not the cameras

Ever since all the "cool kids" in high school walked around with their 35m cameras around their neck taking pictures for the yearbook I have lusted for a "real" camera.

I had to suffice with my 110 in Brady Bunch orange for...

Pros: Easy for inexperienced photographers to take a great picture.
Cons: Need battery pack to get long life and vertical grip.

We were expecting our second baby and were tired of blurry pictures with bad color that we got with our Advantix camera. So we decided to try a "real" camera that we could maybe figure out. After my husband did MANY MANY hours of internet research, we...

Pros: easy to use, manual and automatic modes, good price, very light
Cons: plastic casing feels cheap

I had been languishing in the realm of point-and-shoot cameras for a long time, wanting to move up to an SLR and learn more about photography but worried I'd end up paying a ton of money for a camera I'd barely know how to use. The Rebel 2000 came up...

Pros: Easy to use, great pictures
Cons: Feels cheap, complicated exposure controls

Canon has seemingly always been running second to other camera makers. First, in the 1930's and 40's they were playing catch-up to Leica, and later running behind Nikon. It's too bad, because Canon has always made a quality product, for less money than...

Pros: Great camera, lots of features
Cons: No cable release and no spot meter

I’m getting really irritated at all those people out there that keep promoting the Rebel 2000 as a “great beginner or amateur camera.” Look at the specs people! This is a featured packed, technologically advanced camera suitable for the newest of...

Pros: Very great price, has all the basics you need, Canon quality
Cons: Lens heavy, flash is lackluster

The Rebel 2000 is about the best you can get for what you pay for. In purchasing it I compared it to the ELAN II, and IIe. However, I felt that the extra $150 (give or take) for the Elan II wouldn't be worth it. I've been shooting photos for a while now,...

Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, compact, well priced.
Cons: As is the style these days: too much plastic.

As the manager of a camera sales and service store I can assure you that the Canon Rebel series have been the best selling cameras we have ever stocked. Very user friendly, well designed, compact and lightweight the Rebels are made with the...

Pros: Automatic features are easy to use; manual features are available at the turn of a dial
Cons: none

Five years ago, I purchased the Canon EOS Rebel XS QD, the immediate precursor of this model. I am a shutterbug, and have used SLR and point and shoot 35mm cameras for years. After my SLR was stolen, I set about finding the perfect camera for my needs....

Pros: Price and feature list
Cons: Lightweight and small size

I bought this camera two months ago after researching my options for a couple weeks. It seems that the SLR world is divided into three camps - Nikon cameras, Canon cameras, and the other manufacturer's cameras. Nikon has a long history of manufacturing...

Pros: Great auto settings, easy to take pics in these modes.
Cons: Hard to operate controls and settings in the manual mode.

I just bought a Rebel 2000 Kit that came with the 28/80 lens. I bought it the night before a Renaissance Faire that my husband and I were participating in, and I was looking forward to getting some great shots.

I started out by taking a few...

Pros: Automatic Features, Manual Features, Ease-of-Use, Weight, Name Brand, Quality, Cost, Availability of extras
Cons: People who travel a lot might want a more compact camera with fewer features, but this camera offers more features in a slightly larger format.

WOW
The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 is a great camera for almost anyone including beginning users, people who want to learn to take manual photos, people on a budget, sports fans, vacationers, families, photographers and even the serious...
