Editorial Reviews : The new generation of Canon Rebel 35mm SLR camera, the 2000 Date EF 28-90mm silver deluxe camera, is smaller and lighter than any of its predecessors. Besides its sleek all-silver color (including the 28-90mm zoom lens) and comfortable new body design, this camera has a faster AF and quieter overall operation. Many of its other functions, such as a seven-point autofocus, 35-zone AE metering, quartz data time/date stamp, and depth-of-field preview, have been added or improved upon. The seven-point autofocus system, five across and one above and below the center focusing point, contains a completely renovated focusing algorithm that increases the AF speed, improving selection accuracy of the automatic focusing point. The high-speed selectable seven-point autofocus system is linked to the 35-zone metering system as well as Canon's exclusive E-TTL autoflash system. Focusing point selection is chosen by the camera when it is set on automatic, or by the user if the photographer chooses manual mode. If the camera is on automatic, the shutter will not release until it perceives that the image is in focus. However, manual mode gives the photographer the freedom to determine how sharply in focus he or she wants the image. The TTL full-aperture metering has three patterns available: evaluative metering, central partial metering (which covers approximately 95 percent of the finder area), and center-weighted average metering. Though center-weighted metering is available, it can be used only when the camera is set on manual. This 35-zone metering system allows the photographer more precise exposure control in all of the available metering modes.
Though this camera comes complete with many standard features for the beginner, advanced functions are also available for the more experienced photographer. Among these features are: a choice of evaluative or partial metering patterns, AE lock, auto exposure bracketing, and multiple exposure. These features, coupled with the Rebel's convenient built-in retractable flash and 11 versatile shooting modes, give any photographer the creativity to capture landscapes, portraits, vacation moments, sporting events, and other special occasions.
Buyer Reviews : I bought this camera for my wife for her birthday but I liked it so much she lets me use it sometimes :-) The kit comes with all the extras packaged nicely in one box. You get EOS Rebel 2000 Date Body, EF28-90mm f/4-5.6 DC Silver Lens (non-USM), Gadget Bag 2100 (well made black Canon bag with plenty of padding and adjustable dividers), Two Lithium Batteries CR2, Mini Tripod 7 (no more than 10 inches in height), Wide Strap EW-100BM and a tiny Pocket Photo Album 10.
I also bought an inexpensive 4x1AA battery pack (BP-200) that is designed specifically for the Rebel 2000. It saves those original lithiums, adds additional grip and a vertical shutter release. A Magic Lantern Guide 'Canon EOS Rebel 2000' by Bob Shell and Heiner Henninges is most useful and almost required since the included manual is very basic.
The Quartz Date is a bonus and the 28-90mm lens is the latest from Canon. Not only the lens is better than a regular one (28-80mm) that comes with the standard package but it also looks great. It is all silver with the black focus ring and this color combination complements the silverish body of the camera much better than the older all-black lens. It's the best fully automatic/manual camera for amateurs and semi-professionals alike.
