Product Description
The Rebel K2 incorporates many of the most sought after attributes of the market leading Rebel Ti model including Canon's premier 7-point wide area AF system, lightning-fast shutter speeds up to 1/2000 of a second, and 35-zone AF-linked evaluative metering that optimizes exposure accuracy. Compact and feature-packed, the Rebel K2 is a stylish, ergonomically streamlined, lightweight camera that yields heavyweight results. Weighing in at a mere 12 ounces, the new K2 is extremely compact and light, with advanced ergonomic design that makes single-handed operation a snap. A step-up from (and a step quicker than) Canon's entry level EOS Rebel GII, the EOS Rebel K2 features fast autofocus and film advance permitting users to shoot at 1.5 frames per second, 50 percent faster than the GII. Tracking and keeping moving subjects in focus is a breeze thanks to the Rebel K2's AI Servo AF mode and seven point selectable autofocus system (with focusing points superimposed on Canon's glareless new laser matte focusing screen). Users can also opt for manual focusing point selection by simply pressing the Focusing Point Selector and rotating the main dial until the preferred focus point is indicated below the picture area in the viewfinder data display, or on the large, easy-to-read LCD data panel on the back of the camera. Like the Rebel Ti (K2's senior sibling), this newest Rebel anticipates virtually any common shooting circumstance and offers photographers fast and easy a

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!

It works.......2007-09-24
Not much to say ... it does whats expected. Quality of the image is ok.. quality of lens is just ok
great inexpensive lens.......2007-05-28
For the money it's hard to go wrong with this lens. I have used it on my Rebel 35mm SLR and on my Canon Rebel XTi and have had good luck with both. Sure, it may not give 100% of the image quality of a $300 or $500 lens, but for the money you get a good lens and save a lot of money to put towards a nice zoom lens.
Wide Angle Lens.......2007-05-21
Lens is fine now that I have it...First one had to be returned, defective, and I got the return of the good one 2 weeks later, no problem on the return..Everyone cooperated fine. Recommend all highly.

Clarity and sharpness of the pictures are not that great. Yet, if you think about the price of this lens, it's not really that bad. The material used feels and looks like a toy. If you really want a good wide angle lens, I recommend Canon 10-22mm or if you want something cheaper, a Sigma 10-20mm will give you the best result.

Product Description
Based on the highly popular Rebel 2000 and TI, the K2 has an improved pop-up flash which provides a bit more separation from the center of the lens mount, providing valuable millimeters of clearance for less redeye and lens obstruction of flash illumination. The program control dial is now located right next to the shutter release button, effectively allowing one-handed operation. It also features a large LCD information panel on the back panel, and has an improved ergonomic design. The full range of Canon lenses are all compatible with this camera. Also included is a brand new Tamron zoom wide angle-telephoto AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 aspherical autofocus lens for Canon EOS. This standard zoom lens from a wide 28mm to a medium telephoto range of 80mm. The use of aspherical elements in the front group reduces the number of elements required, and the use of strong engineering plastic in the barrel makes the body a light 237g. Consequently, it is easy to carry.

opteka 650-1300mm.......2007-01-22
Nice toy for hobbiist or amateur photographer. Only the plastic ring never lock the zoom setting.Picture is little darker,but ISO 400 and higher could fix that.
No turnkey photography.......2007-01-21
This thing gets you in REALLY CLOSE. I even used it with a 2x TelePlus converter. I was never able to successfully take pictures with my Canon EOS digital Rebel without going full manual, though. Canon auto settings make the wrong calculations for some reason. That said, when you are shooting manual, you can follow the Canon recommendations and things work out ok.
You HAVE to have a tripod, and the tripod has to be really beefy. I bought the heaviest tripod I could find in town, and the one I bought couldn't hold this thing up without bending.
This scope (because that's what it is) looks expensive, but feels cheap. The focus and zoom locks are friction based and feel like they're going to wear out sooner, rather than later. You're going to want to use this to get close to something that's far, far away and that is a LOT of work. Even with my new, beefy tripod, I had to bungie the lens (yes, with a bungie cord) and aim above what I was shooting. I had to aim it such that when I let go of it to shoot, the weight would drop it down to the correct position.
I gave it two stars only because, in sufficient light (i.e, noon in August on a good day) you can still take good pictures. This would make a great telescope for the girls, and that's what I'm going to convert it to as soon as I can find the adapter.
I can't emphasize the quality of this lens enough. This lens is rare in one way--quality this poor is getting harder and harder to find. If you have too much money, I recommend you buy this lens. Otherwise, save up your cash and buy something else. Seriously. Don't think this lens is going to save you money.
Big lens with a big zoom........2006-10-03
There are many positive features about this lens and there are a few negative this too. I have used this lens on Canon and Nikon cameras, it can be adapted to any mount with the correct t-adapter.
-This lens produces very sharp pictures only if you have your camera on a tripod. With all lenses, the more zoom, the less area of view. Do not think you will be holding this lens in your hands shooting.
-This lens needs light. It works great outdoors. I have taken many shots of birds, houses, trees, ect)
Overall, it is the only lens under $600 that can zoom as far as it can. You just need to understand want it can and cannot do. I am happy with it.
Take your time, use a tripod...save thousands and thousands!.......2006-04-19
Greetings again friends SiNMiN here to add my 2 cents into this fray. First off if you do not have the time or inclination to fuss with tripods, shutter speeds, and ISO settings when it comes to this lens you might want to look somewhere else. Contrary to what one of the other reviewers said in bright light and a average steady hand you can in fact use this lens hand-held. But put this lens on a tripod with either a rebel 350D or even better a 20D body, a remote shutter, and a photographer with the cool head and know how, and you can get some pretty amazing results (especially with the 20D). The hardest part about using the lens is actually getting it to lock on target using a tripod. "Take your time". Overall I was amazed at the build quality and the optics quality in the lens for the money, it is every bit as solid as any of my Canon or Sigma lenses, and the glass isn't the same quality but well enough in the ball park to make it more than worth the money.I do think its too bulky and slow for sport photography, but for astral and nature work, do your self a favor and save your self about 10 grand!Plus if you really want to get crazy you could use it with a 2X multiplyer like I do! 2600mm!! Can you say telescope!! Thanks for your time and happy shooting
Not as good as you would think, even for the price........2006-01-29
This does get you close. My camera (a Canon Digital Rebel EOS) badly overexposes with this lens. I have to shoot full manual. That's ok, but it increases the work I have to do to get the shot.
I am able to focus at items within about 30 feet. But changing the zoom also changes the focus. When extend to the full 1600mm it becomes badly unbalanced. Once I select the subject at full zoom I have to hold onto the camera to take the shot. Othewise, the weight of the lens pulls the camera down. But I can only get clear shots at a long distance by setting the timer on the camera and letting go of it. Otherwise it shakes too much. It's therefore very difficult to take long-distance pictures using my $50.00 tripod. If you buy this lens, you'd better buy an expensive tripod to go with it. You'll probably find yourself using the short end of it most of the time--meaning you won't get the full benefit of the 1600 millimeters advertised.
Also, the manual mentions an adjustable aperture that doesn't exist. And the zoom action definitely feels cheap. This lens will work with just about any camera built since 1960 because it has a detachable camera mount. But it feels a little loose and cheap.
I'm not sure whether I'm going to return this or not. It does let me get in close, but so far I haven't been able to get decent shots with it.
Product Description
The Rebel K2 incorporates many of the most sought after attributes of the market leading Rebel Ti model including Canon's premier 7-point wide area AF system, lightning-fast shutter speeds up to 1/2000 of a second, and 35-zone AF-linked evaluative metering that optimizes exposure accuracy. Compact and feature-packed, the Rebel K2 is a stylish, ergonomically streamlined, lightweight camera that yields heavyweight results. Weighing in at a mere 12 ounces, the new K2 is extremely compact and light, with advanced ergonomic design that makes single-handed operation a snap. A step-up from (and a step quicker than) Canon's entry level EOS Rebel GII, the EOS Rebel K2 features fast autofocus and film advance permitting users to shoot at 1.5 frames per second, 50 percent faster than the GII. Tracking and keeping moving subjects in focus is a breeze thanks to the Rebel K2's AI Servo AF mode and seven point selectable autofocus system (with focusing points superimposed on Canon's glareless new laser matte focusing screen). Users can also opt for manual focusing point selection by simply pressing the Focusing Point Selector and rotating the main dial until the preferred focus point is indicated below the picture area in the viewfinder data display, or on the large, easy-to-read LCD data panel on the back of the camera. Like the Rebel Ti (K2's senior sibling), this newest Rebel anticipates virtually any common shooting circumstance and offers photographers fast and easy a
