Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: Canon's latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens: It is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. Equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format. The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.

Olympus Evolt E410 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zuiko Lenses

Olympus Evolt E410 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zuiko Lenses Review

This is an excellent camera.

Over many years, I've shot with many cameras and in many formats: 4x5 inch sheet film in a view camera; 120 film in a Yashica TLR and in a rollholder back on a Speed Graphic and a Galvin medium format view camera; and 35 mm in rangefinders and SLRs -- Canon, Pentax, Rollei, and many Nikon models. Nikon is what I standardized on for 35 mm and eventually digital for 30 years.

I bought the Olympus e-410 about a year ago because I wanted something smaller and lighter than my Nikon equipment for pleasure travel. I haven't been disappointed. The camera is light, has a small footprint, and I get crisp, well-exposed images (by the way I almost never use the auto or scene settings).

4:3 format: No problem. It makes prints at the standard print sizes of 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 inches with almost no cropping.

Battery life: I find no difference between the e-410 and my Nikon -- but then I never let the battery run down and I always have a charged spare on hand.

Live view: Who cares? People who like to wave their cameras around at arm's length, look at the screen, and get unsharp images should buy point and shoots. Anti-shake technology was developed for them. The rest of us hold the camera in both hands (or better still, put it on a tripod) and use the viewfinder.

Sharpness: every digital image requires sharpening in post-processing, no matter what camera produces it.

White balance and ISO-equivalent: I ran a bunch of tests (just as I have always done with every single different film used with every single lens in every single camera), and I made notes on the adjustments I needed to make in every single white balance/exposure situation. No camera comes out of the box perfect. There are countless hours of very dull testing work associated with photography if you want to do it right -- and it takes less time to do it with digital than in the darkroom.
