It was down to the Elan7 and the Ti. I did end up getting the battery pack with chargeable AA's for heavy indoor use.The Canon EF 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 USM is a big but very responsive lens. I've always used a Canon and I always will.The Ti was new on the market and I read every review out there on every Canon being sold. After 18 years of using the magnificent T70, a dear friend wanted a good complete second-hand SLR kit to start taking good pictures. Two, the lens comes only in black and the camera only in two colors. It does use up the two small but expensive Li batteries too fast for my taste, but the extreme light weight compensates for that and more.
As a veteran amateur photographer, I was surprised by the light weight of the camera and the performance was exactly as I expected namely sharp, capable and inclusive of everything that you might need.
After a very detailed review of specs, I decided that the Elan does not offer any extra important features to the good amateur photographer justifying the price difference (unless you really want the eye focus control).
Two things about this combination you should know.
It was time for me to move on, so I sold her mine.
The auto focus USM speed is very impressive.
I also reviewed all Canon lenses and I did not want to be changing lenses for most of my photography needs, like I did with my T70.
The Canon EF 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 USM provided just that.The Rebel Ti did not disappoint any of my expectations.
One, the lens has a 72mm diameter, which hikes the price of your filters and attachments.
I did not mind the mismatch, but make sure you that you won't.

Unlike most SLR's, you can easily operate this one (including setting all manual and automatic settings) with just your right hand. Canon has been making EOS cameras for the last 16 years and has been a market leader all that time.
I've been using this camera for the last 3 months and have been very pleased with it.This camera's initial appeal is the compact, light weight design. I've used Canon SLR cameras for the last 21 years and have never had any problems with any of them (a F-1, AE-1, EOS 5).
place to start, but I would recommend getting the Sigma 28-200 Compact Hyperzoom Lens instead---lightweight, good focal range, better construction than the comsumer grade lenses that are usually packaged with this camera. However, this camera offers much, much more.This camera has most of the features and manual setting possibilities found in professional level cameras along with idiot-proof automatic settings that make it as easy to use as a point-and-shoot.Because you can mount any of the countless quality EOS lenses to this camera, the possibilities of crafting quality pictures is endless.
The 28-90 lens that usually comes with this camera is an o.k. There's lots of great new and used lenses available.Another definite plus to this camera is the awesome ergonomics.
I've never used a camera that I've been able to do this in a natural, comfortable and secure manner.
