The Rebel XT was the smallest, lightest Canon digital SLR ever made at the time (and perhaps still). For anyone who doesn't want to lug around something large and heavy, but who wants the quality and speed that only a DSLR can deliver, this camera remains a top choice. Although 8 MP is considered low by many today, unless you are a pro (doubtful for this choice) or planning on blowing up a large number of your shots into posters, 8MP remains more than adequate for everyday shooting.
For a while after having this camera, I reverted to some of the more expensive P&S ultrazoom compacts. However, speed of shooting was always a bit of an annoyance with those cameras. Even the fastest simply cannot compete with this camera. It has enough automatic focusing features to deliver excellent color balance and sharpness for when you don't want to bother with manual shooting; when you DO want to make your own choices, however, you will find that it's 1/4000 max speed, excellent CMOS sensor, and RAW shooting capabilities will give you plenty to work with.
Now that manufacturers have to focus their efforts on providing video capability as well as still photography, cameras such as the Rebel XT, designed for stills only, show the excellence achieved from focusing on the one goal.
