Canon Rebel XT

[tips]

what do you guys think of this camara.
is $265 with everything included a good price(the camara is used)
tx in advance

At that price and with it just being an XT I am guessing it is a film camera?
A Canon Rebel XTI would be digital and would be much pricier.

no its digital

The XT was the predecessor to the XTi. That sounds like a good deal.

I looked around and it looks like you would be paying a little over a hundred bucks more for the body alone if you got it new. Where are you getting it from? I could use a backup camera :)

Of course, then you'll be paying a couple of hundred for the lens I love my XT and would buy it again in a second! And I paid more than that for mine... used.

I love my XT and spent considerably more than that on a new one a couple of years ago. It is a very high quiality digital and SLR to boot. Buy it!

My work camera is an XT. My personal camera is an XTi. The XTi has a system that eliminates dust on the sensor. The XT doesn't. There is dust on the sensor of the XT that ruins every photo. My friend also has an XT with dust on the sensor. It cost a lot to have the dust removed and it is going to come right back. I take my personal camera to work and only use the work camera in an emergency, I hate it so bad. My friend hates her XT for the same reason. It takes all the joy out of picture-taking to have every photo have globs of grey specks. Note: even the clone tool in photoshop doesn't help much on scales.

You can clean the sensor yourself. I forget how, its in the manual somewhere. There's a special mode for it that flips the mirror up and opens the shutter for you. My friend did it with his 5D which also doesn't have the anti-dust thing.

that's standard pricing for a used XT now that the XSi has arrived.
Its a decent camera, i'd probably do it for a back up to my 20D
