Love/Hate Relationship, July 13, 2009

This camera and I have a love/hate relationship. When it takes the photos, they turn out amazing!! Absolutly amazing!! That's if it takes the picture. I don't know if it's just my camera, but sometimes it doesn't want to take the photograph which is very upsetting when it's a moment that I can't replace or ever get back. I do wildlife photography in Alaska and when there's a bear or moose running by, I don't have the time to figure out why the camera won't take the picture. I feel as if it's the "Auto Lock" feature, which so far I am not too fond of. Other then that, this camera has amazing features and takes amazing photographs, even when comparing to my newer digital cameras, this by far stands out the best! If it's photographs that I might want to enlarge to canvas size later on, I know this is the camera for the job! A lot of great features, very lightweight, and the end result is amazing. If anyone can tell me why my camera is so moody, and doesn't want to take photographs sometimes, I would GREATLY appreciate it! :D

Canon Rebel T2 35mm SLR Camera (Body Only), June 20, 2009
My husband and I looked all over for a film camera and almost every place had digitals only. I hate to say it but we both have issues with digital. We finally found the camera here and my husband is pleased.
Canon Rebel, November 29, 2007
Nice camera but it seems to take mirrored images. in other words the pics it takes are reversed. ????
good camera, November 28, 2007
My daughter rated this product as four stars. She just started photography classes at her school. I think it is a good camera for the beginning photographer.
