Summary: A great SLR for a beginner or anyone really
Comment: I got this about 4 months ago as a present. I must this camera is amazing. I still have yet to master or even start to use 80% of its features. This camera is great for a beginner or really anyone who wants a wonderful yet reasonably priced camera.
But you might just want to spring for a black one. I am not to crazy about the silver. But hey I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Summary: Getting old, but a really great camera
Comment: I've taken more than 30,000 pictures with my XT and the biggest problem is that it does such a good job that I have a hard time justifying an upgrade. The images are great up to ISO 400 and very good at 800 and 1600. For the price it's hard to beat, but I'd probably recommend going for a newer camera with the ISO displayed in the viewfinder and a better auto focus system. Also, the included lens is so-so. I use a Sigma 17-70 which is excellent. The 3fps it captures is not quite fast enough for sports, but fine for kids. The grip is a bit small, and the camera can be hard to hold if you have a flash, large lens, and large hands.

Summary: My first DSLR. Love it!
Comment: Comfortable, lightweight, and easy to use; with a wealth of options available as I work my way up the SLR food chain. Great photo quality, my only complaint is that in low light without flash the EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 gets a lil' bleary. Still, I expect that the IS version of the lens when I get it will help alleviate that difficulty. Crystal clear pictures under normal lighting conditions and the automatic flash will take care of low-light conditions until I get the lens with image stabilization. Professional-looking photos (with my graphic designer background) right out of the box. Easy enough to use that I had no qualms in sending it with my mom to a wedding she was attending and she's STRICTLY point and shoot.

Summary: Better than what I expect
Comment: It gives you enough as it shows. Sometime it has problem with focus if you use manual focusing, but I think it is caused by myself not the machine.

Summary: Perfect . . . Almost.
Comment: I bought this camera nearly a year ago, and I've liked just about everything about this lens. Its size, its image quality, everything. In fact, for my money, it's superior to the XTi since its image quality is better in low light situations. As to why, well, with the XTi, you're fitting 10 megapixels on the same-sized image sensor as the XT, which will create a noisier (grainier) image. The XSi has some advanced hardware that counteracts this tendency.
Having said this, however, there is ONE item I wish the XT had--3200 ISO. In fact, neither the XT nor XTi nor XSi, have this high ISO (they all go up to 1600). I like to take pictures with natural light, and having a 3200 ISO will be helpful in extremely dark situations, like the wedding I just went to recently where the dance floor was essentially without light (and I was shooting with a f/1.8 lens). So, if you see yourself taking a lot of photos in low light, you might as well get the Canon 30D body for $650 (the price as of now--Sept 2008). One final item: I have NO idea why this camera as of Sept 1, 2008 costs $698 with the 18-55mm lens. I bought mine almost a year ago for $450 for the exact same combo! If the price doesn't go down, buy a Nikon D60 (cheaper) or Canon XSi (same price as the XT and way more advanced). Or, best yet, buy a Canon 30D and buy the lens separate. With a Canon 30D and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens, you can essentially handle anything short of pitch-black scenes.
