I bought this as a christmas present for my wife a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, it seems like the price is much higher than when I bought it. She was ecstatic and has really loved the camera ever since (She loves me too of course). I haven't really used it, but she's told me that everything is very easy to use and work with. At the price it is now, I'd suggest spending a little bit extra and getting the digital version. For most photography it will probably be the better choice.
Im not a professional photographer, but I love taking pictures. I own both EOS Rebel k2 slr and an EOS rebel XS DSLR.Digital slr's are fantastic you get a lot width all of the different settings.The advantage I find width a film slr, is in black and white pictures, they have a depht to them that I like, theirs just something about BW film. So I would recommend this camera if you want to learn photography.
I bought this camera for a photography class that I took over the summer at my university. The best part about this camera is that a user can not only set an aperture/shutter speed, but select a mode where the camera itself will automatically select the appropriate details - the feature is very useful. While many of the Students bought traditional student models, like the Pentax k1000, I wanted to buy a more updated model. The Canon Rebel EOS K2 went above and beyond by expectations; it was easy to use, had multiple useful features, and produced amazing photographs. Also, the camera has specific automatic modes that are designed for shooting close-ups, landscapes, moving objects, and low-lite subjects, which is very useful for novice-photographers. I was planning on selling it to some friends after I finished the class, but am now considering keeping it for taking more photos for fun.
Great for the semi-professional parent with a baby or toddler. Love the crisp pictures it takes and I have a digital I also use but I've always held film in a special place since being my college editor back in the late 80's and early 90's before digital was the boom. Both lens are terrific and I am very pleased with the camera's performance.
I've learned my lesson because the dust never shows up on a print(yea.). I bought this camera from Walmart for my birthday present a year ago but had been drooling over it for longer then that. the pictures look great. After a year i had to send it back to Cannon to have service because a problem when i first put it together (never put a camera together while driving it gets dust inside the mirror cavity). The camera cost me just under 200 the repairs and shipping cost me over 200 more and they didn't get the dust out. I even achieved a stop motion on a fountain while not knowing what the heck i was doing. All i need now is lessons on how to use all the features that I've been playing with (usually without film in) all in all I love this camera and it's sad that it seems to be the last film SLR that cannon plans on making.
