I bought this camera about a year and a half ago, and have NEVER had any problems with it. I’ve taken thousands of photos, and so far, everything works perfectly. I’m amazed at the clarity of the pictures I’ve taken with it. I rarely get a bad shot.
I’m curious about the problems people have listed in their negative reviews. Based on my personal experience, and the experiences of many of my friends who own the same camera, I’d have to say user error on the part of any negative reviews on this product. I figure if you can’t figure out how to use an XTI (or one of the newer models Canon has out now) then you might want to try out a lower quality camera such as a Nikon. Nikon produces lesser quality, substandard cameras that won’t make you feel bad if they break. Canon cameras are more professional, higher quality products and shouldn’t be just given to any child to play with. If you want to give a child a camera to play around with, ANY nikon will do. Leave Canon cameras to REAL PROFESSIONALS.
I highly recommend a Canon Digital Rebel XTI to anyone who is looking for a true professional camera.
Praise the Lord for my flawless Canon.
Amen.

There are Digital cameras that use AA-size batteries and those that are powered by lithium-ion batteries that only work with a particular type, make or brand of camera. If you travel, particularly if you enjoy remote or rustic locations, choose a camera with AA batteries.
Why?
When a camera that uses proprietary batteries runs out of power, you have no choice but to plug the battery into a power outlet to recharge it. This requires an available outlet, a battery charger, and, if you’re in a foreign country, a power converter. If access to an outlet is ever in doubt, or if you don’t want the hassle of carrying cords and chargers, then the limitations of this system are obvious.
You have the option to purchase the proprietary battery pack your camera uses – but they can be expensive and how many will you need?
If you use a camera that uses AA-size batteries when batteries run out of power on a trip, you can simply throw out the old batteries and drop in a new set of high-performance AAs like the Energizer E2 Lithium line. Two or three sets of such batteries can usually take you through a 10-day trip. If you’re out of high-performance batteries, you also have the option of using standard alkaline batteries, which are available anywhere in the world, and make a cheap and convenient source of backup power (though they only offer a fraction of the life of high performance batteries).
Before you buy check. Get a camera that uses AA batteries if you travel. My Canon PowerShot is one such camera.
