Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm Date SLR Camera (Body Only)

excellent camera for quick, clear pictures 2007-11-10

We went back and forth between a film and digital camera. We decided on the Canon Rebel Date Camera due to the quickness of the shutter since we have small children. I did not want the delay a digital camera has and did not have the money to spend for a quick shutter digital camera. Our pictures come out crystal clear and we get all kinds of rave reviews on the pictures we do take with our camera. This is the 2nd camera that we have bought that is Canon and have nothing but good things to say about them. I do wish they came with a camera bag - but we can buy that separately.

Canon EOS Rebel K2 Camera 2007-10-30

Is a very nice camera but the one i got did not have day date option
so i sent it back.

Trying to purchase a camera on-line sucks!!!!!!!!!!! 2007-10-10

This is our 2nd order for the same type of camera and we still don;t have it!!! 1st order in early September had to be refunded because the seller never shipped the camera, his email addressess were invalidated and we never heard from him again! Now our 2nd attempt thru a different seller is also questionnable as it;s been a few days and still the item has not even been shipped out. If we don't receive the camera by friday, we'll have to go out and buy one at a shop. I am done with ordering equipment thru the internet! What a waste of time and this is for my;s son's photography class!

Lightweight esay to use cmaera loaded with options 2007-09-23

The Canon EOS Rebel K2 SLR, with the 28-90 zoom lens is a good buy. Camera stores in my area (NW Arkansas) can't even come close to the price I paid for a new camera. It's light, easy to carry and it has an automatic point and click feature that makes this amateir look better than he is.

Cheaply Made. Huge Disappointment. 2007-08-25

This camera is cheap. It even feels cheap. The first time we loaded film, it jammed and has never worked since. I have for years bought only Canon products which is why I purchased this replacement for an older Canon Rebel (which I loved) that had dropped and broke. Now I'm so turned off by this poorly manufactured Canon product that I'm looking to replace all of my lenses so that I can find a system that's better made.

Very good buy 2007-07-05

Very good camera.
I still think 35mm beats digital quality.
Very good buy.

Wonderful 2007-05-27

I had been looking at 35mm cameras for months trying to decide. I had originally decided on an Olympus IS-50, but then found this wonderful contraption and went with it instead. I could not be happier, I have taken many pictures and the only way they could be better is if I were a better photographer. This camera is wonderful, and I'm very very happy with it's performance. The only down side is that some of the controls and settings are a bit over my head but that will all change with time and research on photography. Wonderul product! Worth every cent.

Great Value! 2007-05-14

My wife and I were concerned about losing memories on a digital camera (how many have you taken, but never printed out?) and wanted a solid 35MM and we definately found it in the Rebel!

Takes great pics and easy to use!

great value 2007-05-10

i was going to have my digital camera fixed, but it was cheaper to buy this one. this camera is great, light, and easy to use. the digital read out of the aperture and shutter speed on the back and in the viewfinder is great. i'm taking it with me to europe, and i know i will come back with great pictures

Good entry-level camera 2007-04-10

I recently purchased this camera when my venerable Nikormat EL-W developed shutter timing issues during my Photo 1 class.

This camera reasonably priced has preformed flawlessly thus far. I have shot multiple rolls of Ilford HP5 plus film through this camera and have yet to have an exposure not come out due to the camera. After reading the manual I was able to easily understand the different modes and how to change the user controlled settings. The on camera flash leaves a little to be desired as it rather harsh and its range is somewhat limited, an accessory flash will overcome this and there are other flashes that will operate with this camera not just Canon.

I have not had the opportunity of shooting color film through this camera yet when I do I will update this review.

The only thing I dislike about this camera is that there is no provision for a remote shutter release. The Rebel K2 with date is the only version of this camera that can use a remote shutter release, why Canon removed this feature from this model is unknown a remote release is very handy when photographing nature or when used with the timer for self portraits.

If you have any plans for infrared photography do not buy a EOS Canon, the Frame counter uses an infrared sensor that will cause fogging on your infrared film

perfect camera 2006-07-24

I love this camera the first day I received it I took 3 rolls of film. It has been the best purchase I bought this year. I got a real good price on it and i received it fast!

this is a fine film camera 2006-06-25

it looks good takes great pics and the ease of use is good for a film camera

Great camera 2006-06-07

I bought this a year ago and have taken many great pictures with it. It's light, has many features and can be used as an automatic when all you want to do is point and click. I can't recommend it enough.

Review 2006-03-22

This was not the camera I was shopping for but it will work for me.

Great camera 2006-01-30

I am really satisfied with the purchase of this camera. Good quality workmanship. Canon has been a leader in photography in my book. Easy to use controls for any one.

Price and Quality 2005-10-09

This product offers a realy equity between price and quality, and a good results in photos.

Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm SLR Camera 2005-09-06

I am very pleased with this camera. I especially like the light meter that tells you how many apertures you are away from the correct exposure. I am using this for my photo class and is easy to use.

Cool Camera 2005-08-30

The photos are exceptional. It was very easy to learn how to use the features. I have taken some great photos with it, much better than my digital. I have not encountered any problems. I took it on a long (over a month) trip where it was subjected to rough treatment and extreme weather. It came through with flying colors. Rock solid.

Buena relacion precio-valor 2005-01-14

Soy un principiante en esto de la fotografia, esta ha sido mi primera camara slr, por lo tanto me ha tocado experimentar con ella para obtener las mejores tomas posibles a la vez que han aumentado mis conocimientos en el area, el desempeño es excelente tanto en tomas fijas como las que he realizado a objetos en movimiento,tanto sus funciones automaticas como las profesionales ofrecen un desempeño excelente, he tomado mas de 300 fotos en poco menos de cuatro meses, el zoom que tiene es rapido, los botones tienen una disposicion excelente para manejarla con una sola mano, lo unico que necesita es un flash de la serie speedlite, tuve oportunidad de conseguir uno prestado de un amigo y el cambio fue estupendo ya que este tiene mas alcance para el lente que la camara trae,ya que el flash que trae carece de potencia el cual ofrece su mejor desempeño en los 28mm del lente(no le podemos pedir mas a un flash integrado), por ultimo les dijo que posee el mejor sistema de medicion de luz que existe en el mercado (E-TTL)y esta disponible tanto con flash integrado como con el flash externo

A great camera 2004-02-10

This is the new version of the EOS Rebel 2000 (they called it "K2" instead of "2K", I suppose in order to avoid giving the impression that the camera is 4 years out of date, which it is not).

It is simply a great camera at a great price. It works as well as any 35mm camera on the market, has a reasonably fast winder, and best of all it takes all of the huge variety of EF Canon lenses. It is actually very light, so you can carry it around without fatigue, or you can bulk it up by adding the extended grip (which gives it a very nice feel).

The zoom lenses are a little slow. I recommend that you get the body only, and start with the 50mm f/2.8 MKII lens, which is a steal at about $70. Together, they make an outstanding, affordable, high-quality package for those of us who still love film more than digital.
