Product Description
Easy to learn and use and packed with features, the EOS Rebel G is an ideal "step-up" camera for anybody who needs the simplicity of point-and-shoot photography but also wants the flexibility of interchangeable lenses and flash.The Rebel G offers three-point (wide) auto focus coverage, resulting in fewer out-of-focus pictures of off-center subjects. Auto focus is standard, but if you are shooting moving objects that are going towards or away from the camera, the Predictive AF mode will keep it sharp. Along with standard exposure modes, the Rebel G offers four PIC modes, which adjust the camera to the best settings for portraits, landscapes, close-ups and sports. The Rebel G comes in standard and Quartz Date models.The kit includes body, lens, strap and battery.
Amazon.com Product Description
The all-black Canon EOS Rebel G is a fully automatic, ultracompact, and quiet SLR camera that comes equipped with a built-in retractable flash. This kit also includes a 35-80mm detachable Canon EF zoom lens. The Rebel G features a high-speed selectable three-point autofocus system and Canon's exclusive AIM (Advanced Integrated Multipoint) control system which links the Rebel G's three-point autofocus to multizone metering for available light and flash. It offers 11 exposure modes (full auto to metered manual with indicator) plus multiple exposure, exposure compensation, and autoexposure bracketing. The Rebel G features an enhanced command dial for mode selection, and is fully compatible with Canon's complete line of EF autofocus lenses and EOS system specialties, including battery pack BP-8, grip tripod GR-80TP, and remote switch RS-60E3. Features like autoexposure bracketing (in one-half stop increments up to plus-or-minus two stops) and E-TTL autoflash (enables high-speed synch for automatic fill flash), as well as improved control of red-eye reduction, the in-focus beeper, and the autoexposure (AE) lock make the EOS Rebel G more advanced than previous Rebel models.

 Excellent Camera, Easy Controls October 11, 2001

The Canon EOS Rebel G is absolutely wonderful. The autofocus is the fastest I've ever used. The metering system is difficult to fool, although I've still managed to do it a couple times. It has a wide range of automatic modes which all produce excellent results and save me a lot of work. But when I want more control, several semi-automatic modes and a fully manual mode allow me to do whatever I want with as little or as much work as I want. This camera has served well in all sorts of conditions in all kinds of situations. Even in the fully-automatic "snapshot" mode, the Rebel G can capture some unbelievable shots. It's easy to load, and the batteries last longer than I'm used to, so that's another bonus. Lots of extras are available which I can't wait to try out! You can't go wrong here. Buy it.
WOW!! Canon has one another consumer May 24, 2002

I have had this camera for over 3 years, since it first debuted. After all these years, the camera is still here. That has to tell you something. This is also a very reliable camera. I have had NOTHING go wrong with it. Also the camera has the ability to grow with the user. 3 years ago, I knew nothing about cameras. I was impressed with its auto functions. It has the abilities to go fully auto, for the non experienced users, to semi auto, for the semi experienced user, and fully manual, for the pro. The picture quality can rival the more expensive cameras. Much like all new cameras , 10 years from now, Canon will still be using the same mount, allowing you to use all your old lenses with newer cameras. Buck for Buck, there are no cameras out there that have the abilities of this camera. That is the reason why this is the number one selling SLR camera.

I bought this camera prior to going on deployment in the Navy back in 1997 (I think). The camera was to replace my father's Minolta X-370 that I had used for years. I liked the available features and the price.
The camera has performed admirably over the last several years. Whether used for astral photography or high speed/low light action it does everything that I need it to do and does it well. I've taken pictures that were nothing short of spectacular in many ways.
The Rebel G's fully automatic mode is adequate for good pictures and shooting multiple objects, especially if shooting in a hurry. The portrait and close-up mode both work wonderfully. I've used this camera and the 35-80 mm lens to take pictures of flowers from about 8 inches that came out splendid. I've also taken landscapes from the top of Mount Mitchell and been similarly impressed.
The automatic focus is quick and accurate, with a few exceptions that are easily compensated for by the user. The auto focus is simply not reliable when tracking moving objects and seems to have difficulty with light-colored objects in front of a solid white background. I have not found this to be a concern or challenge in taking good pictures.
In nearly all cases, the automatic exposure has been dead on, with the only exception being extremely low light conditions, which most users aren't likely to be worried about. I've used both print film and slide film (which requires much more accurate exposure) and the auto exposure has been right almost every time. Occasionally, the colors/shadows around a person when taking a slide exposure can fool the auto exposure. Most users won't worry about this because not many people shoot on slide film. Under low light conditions, regardless of film ISO being used, it's best to simply go with the manual settings and overexpose 1 to 2 stops. This is easy to do because of the exposure meter in the viewer bar.
Recently, my camera required some minor work. It was scratching the negatives as they passed through the body. I sent it out for repair, and the pressure plate (which serves to hold the negative flat and at the correct focusing point) was adjusted. Well, I ran two rolls of film through and had them developped to check the repair. Initially, I thought that the camera still had issues (leaving very faint lines on top of picture, but only under low-light with 800 speed film), but I discovered that the culprit was a bad shop (they were scratching my negatives and probably their printer was low on ink, creating the faint lines I saw. Total cost of repair was 65 dollars.
Please note that I've had this camera for several years, and it's been to Europe once, the Virgin Islands twice, dropped a few times, rained on more, left out in the cold overnight for celestial photography, and travelled with me up and down the eastern seaboard, all the while taking several thousand shots.
I strongly recommend this camera to anyone considering it, but would also recommend evaluating the newer Rebel T2 and K2 at the same time. If you can get this one on a deal well below retail and it appears to be in good shape, I would expect it to be a worthwhile investment.

This is the first SLR camera I have ever owned, and I thought I would be confused by all the controls, but I read the manual, and without any photography lessons began taking the best pictures of my new baby. It is easy to control, and takes amazing photographs. In fact, it inspired me to take a photography course at the local college. Its great to have a camera that you don't have to worry about anything except getting the baby to smile, I love it.
Amazing camera, I absolutely love it June 1, 2003

I bought this camera the day we were leaving for vacation. Of the three camera's brought on this trip, everyone who's looked at our pictures is amazed at how much better the quality is from the Canon Rebel. If you're not getting beautiful pictures from this camera, then you're doing something wrong. Having taken a photography class before, I love the flexability I have with all the different settings, while at the same time, any amature can take beautiful photos with the automatic settings. My only complaint is the auto focus. It's a little slow (especially compared to strictly automatic cameras) and when having someone else take a picture for you, you have to explain to them to hold the button half-way down until it beeps or your picture will be out of focus. Although I am so attached to this camera, it doesn't happen often! I love taking photos with it so much, our photo album looks like my family went on vacation without me! Regardless, it's light weight, easy to use, and produces the best quality photographs of any camera I've seen. If you enjoy photography, whether expert or amature, you will love this camera.
