great camera
This is the fifth Canon camera that I have owned and the best point and shoot camera that I have used. The manual controls are so easy to use and the pictures are very nice when using the automatic modes. I bought this camera to carry with me for times that my dSLR is not practical or convenient.

I read some review about people complaining about poor low light performance and I was a little skeptical before I bought this. However now I understand why they may think this. With most point and shoot cameras it is not so easy to adjust the ISO so people usually leave them on automatic modes and get pictures with a lower iso and higher shutter speeds in low light conditions. The pictures may have some blurr due to unsteady hands but they are not grainny. However, with this camera the control is right there so you can easily turn up the ISO to settings that are not reasonable and the result is grainny pictures.

This is the best point and shoot camera that I have ever used. If you are in the market for this type of camera or even a cheap dSLR (and not sure what lenses that you want yet) then you should strongly consider this camera because you will continue to carry it with you and use it even if you also have a dSLR.

What a bargain!
I just purchased the Rebel T1i as a backup camera for my EOS 40D, and I find I am using it more and more as my main camera. It's smaller, lighter, has more megapixels, and shoots movies, too. It's really closer to the 50D in performance than the 40D, but for a lot less money than either one. Unless you need 6.5 fps shooting of the 50D and a few features that the T1i lacks, this camera is the better bet.

Great starter to SLR
We bought this 4 months ago from Amazon for 0. It came with the kit lens 18-55mm (I think). This was our first step to SLR. Sure enough, it produced wonderful pictures of landscape, close-ups and portraits.
