Which lense should i buy for Canon rebel XS camera?

rob — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:14:28 +0000

I’m a total noob when it comes to DSLRs or lenses…so im here asking the expert opinion..
Now..my predicament….
I’m planning to buy a lense for my bro’s Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS camera as a bday gift.
I know that he just started getting interest in photography and has bought the camera..no lenses other than the standard one which comes with the package when you buy it..
I did some research online…and think that telephoto zoom lenses would be a good bet..
My budget range is 200-300$, so these are the 2 of the lenses I found in amazon

1.
Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

2.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-55-250mm-4-0-5-6-Telephoto-Digital/dp/B0011NVMO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1254010180&sr=1-1

So which one should i buy ??
I have no idea what I should look for in terms of EF/EF-S/IS/focal length/aperture size etc etc

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

Lenses for Digital Camera Canon EOS Rebel XT?

rob — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 05:12:23 +0000

I am thinking about buying a Canon Digital Rebel XT. The one I am looking at comes with a EF-S 18-55mm lens. I took a photography class in college about 5 years ago but I really am drawing a blank of well, about everything. Besides, all of my work there was in film though this does seem quite a bit similar. From some things I have read, there is a difference between digital mm measurements and regular 35mm print film measurements. Can someone please explain to me what DIGITAL lenses would be good for what kinds of use? And this may be a dumb question but would my Canon Rebel EOS 35mm lenses interchange with this digital Rebel? Gee would be spectacular if it would but I’m guessing no. Thanks for all the help I’m trying to blow the dust off off of my brain.

Ready to upgrade to my Canon Digital Rebel XT Camera…What Next?

rob — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 02:40:49 +0000

I currently have a Canon Digital Rebel XT Camera and a canon 18-55mm lens. I would like to move up to a new camera & a better lens. I am opening a photography studio and want to find the best camera at a good value. I am finding that with my current camera I can’t get any bigger than a 16×20 or the pictures don’t look as good and my lens is not good for upclose portraits I want to get closer than my current lens will allow. Any suggestions on a camera & lens I should buy?
What a great help! You really got what I was asking. I think staying with Canon is an excellent idea. Most of my portraits are of children, which is where I need a new lens. I can’t get close enough for facial shots. I am also doing weddings starting next month. Should I get a prime lens and then a better zoom lens? Would the prime lens mean that I need to change lenses multiple times during a photo session? Between the Canon 40D and 5D what do you think would be the best choice to give me what I need. Thanks for your time & help!
Is the hasselblad a flim camera? I have never shot with anything other than digital…ever. I wouldn’t know how to start especially since I edit all my photos digitally. Looks impressive though.

Hi,

I have an OLD model of the Canon Digital Rebel and need to upload the photos to my laptop.
I don’t have any of the discs that would have come with the camera.

Not sure if it matters, but I am currently using XP on my computer.
Help!
Thanks!
