I got my DigiRebel for Christmas, and I just love, love, love it! All the control of an SLR with the wonderful flexibility of a digital...Who could ask for more?! 
This camera was very easy to adjust to, even though I had never worked with a Canon. I think my money was well spent!

I talked my brother into buying this camera (I hope to get one myself one day), and we both love it. The autofocus is nice and quick, and the camera is a pleasure to use. I love that the lenses are interchangeable with other film Canon SLRs, which is handy if you are changing over to digital. I can't wait to get mine!

We bought this camera about a month ago and have absolutely loved it. I'll never go back to film. It's so easy to take great photos, get tons of shots, and you don't feel bad about wasting film at all. I love being able to print only what I want, and not having to scan my photos anymore.
I've been very happy with the quality of the photos that I've taken with this camera. I'm not a pro-photographer by ANY means, but I feel like the camera does a great job without me having to tweak anything anyway.
I have a little bit of trouble at times focusing on the correct part of the subject. I'm learning how to use those little red focus lights in the viewfinder...it takes some practice to get it right.

I love the DRebel. I got mine a few weeks ago after being a long time film rebel user. Many of the controls are the same, so it was easy to learn how to use it. I love the white balance feature and the large LCD screen.

I just bought my camera and I love it. It is VERY VERY similar to my Canon Rebel Ti. Very easy to use. If you already have Canon lenses I would recommend getting only the body. You will save quite a bit doing it that way!!

I am a photo-holic. My fuji camera of 7 years finally wore out and would not work anymore and I was with a camera for a month and half. To keep from going totally crazy I reviewed 35mm and digital in some depth. I finally purchase a 35mm and returned it in one week. I was trying not to spend a lot but I finally surrendered and bought my Rebel. I have not looked back. I went into the digitals kicking and screaming and now I wish I had done it sooner. I have only positive things to say about my Rebel. I love being able to change lenses like a 35mm and having the pluses of a digital. Another reason I bought the $1000 Rebel instead of a $300 Kodak was that I didn't want to be obsolete in one year's time. This camera has 6.3 mp resolution where the others were around 3 mp.

Ease of Use (Rebel XT)

Cons:

I just purchased the Digital Rebel XT ( 8 MP and more compact) last week and I love it. I hadn't used the previous model to compare them, but I am excited to take a few classes with this one and start using all the manual settings to their fullest ability. Using the automatic settings, I am getting great prints, so it can only get better.

my husband and I have the XT and we love it.
I have even taken pictures of pictures that look better than scanned ones or the prints I had taken to a store to be blown up. I can do so much with this camra and I have not even bought any of the extras(yet).
I was scared to buy a digital camra because I thought you loose detail. This is so not true with this camra. I have taken pictures of my cat form 20ft away and I can count the hairs on his head. I have a picture of a single water drop falling from a tap that looks as if it is wet. I have a frame by frame sequence of my little cousin flying through the air and landing in the lake.
We are having so much fun with are XT. I have not had any problems with it. (even after being attacked with a water balloon!

I love this camera! It's just a lot of fun to work with. I'd already been using a digital but to go to an SLR and one without any shutter delay has been such a treat. Can't wait to take a class or two and find out all the possibilities.
