Avis sur le produitCanon EOS Rebel G / 500N 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only

A Cheap but Great SLR

I do photography as a hobby, and got this on a whim. I've never shot with a proper SLR before; I have only use disposable or an old all in one film camera. Being that I already have a Rebel T7, my EF lenses (not EF-S) worked like a charm. The autofocus works well in all but very low light conditions where it struggles. It's easy to use and will feel familiar if you have already used a canon DSLR. I quite like how light it is and how sturdy it feels. The built in flash on mine won't fire, but my external modern ETTL flash works with it. The only problem is that I have to set the focal length on it manually, and for some reason, it skips numbers; like instead of being able to choose 100mm for my macro lens, I can choose either 80mm or 105mm. It must be a limitation of this camera because this isn't an issue on my T7. If you buy this camera you will want to clean off the mirror and focal plane (above the mirror) with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a cue tip like I did to get any stuff off of it. This takes two 3v CR123a batteries (not 3.7v). You will have to get them off of amazon or other such site. Alternatively, you might get lucky and find a BP-8 battery pack somewhere that let's it take four AA batteries. Pay attention to the light meter (<-3--2--1--0--1--2--3>), it will appear on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder. It's the only way to know if your picture will be properly exposed. It should be sitting on 0. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. Keep in mind, this is an entry level SLR, and lacks more professional level features, but that may not matter to you.Lire l'avis complet...

Canon EOS Rebel G 35MM Film Camera

This is a great camera for someone starting out . It is easy to operate . There are a lot of both auto focus and manual lenses available for it. A young or just starting photographer will get some real nice pictures with it. Normaly if a person gets bad pictures at first they give up. With this camera they can use the auto modes and slowly learn the manual functions as they are ready. By the time they learn what this camera can teach them it is time for them to step up to a more challengingCamera and all the lenses they have aquired can be used on most Canon cameras..Lire l'avis complet...

Canon EOS Rebel G 35mm Film Camera - Very Nice!

I really enjoy the ease of use although it does lack some of the features of the newer cameras which is the only reason I give it a good rating. Otherwise, Canon always makes a solid product. The film is easy to load and unload and the auto focus works great. While it does lack features it does have a lot of features that work very well. I would recommend purchasing a 200mm or a 300mm lens to go with the camera as well.

It is a very nice, clean, and easy to use camera and would recommend it for any beginning photographer.Lire l'avis complet...

Canon EOS Rebel G

Camera is light and tough---though plastic. Fits nicely in my camera bag along with two others to supplement my 20D. My three Gs use differing films---color neg, B&W silver and chrome. A single 50mm EF 1.8 lens serves 'em all and pinch hits on my 20D for low light digital shots at high ISO. The G has controls and features such as AF and auto exposure/manual modes that are similar to the 20D so there is less confusion switching cameras. Recommended.Lire l'avis complet...

Canon EOS Rebel G Film camera.

The Canon EOS Rebel G is a run of the mill, no frills, film camera. They are price around the $20 - $25 range for body only. That's for a one in very nice condition.

If you are a Canon DSLR user, decided to take some photography classes at the local college and realized that the class was about shooting film, this is the camera for you. Same goes for any beginner photography student. You are way better buying a Rebel G or similar for under $30 then digging out that old SLR camera from your dad's closet and trying to get that to work.

It uses the standard EOS EF mount. ...but the lens mount is plastic. Not a huge deal, but if you plan on using the camera with heavy lens, might not be a long term solution. Is has the standard exposure modes, AV, TV, P, M and Auto. Frames per second isn't fast, no spot meter, the viewfinder is small. Like I said eariler, if you need it for some photography classes, it's great. I you are looking to expand your horizons and shoot film along with your digital, I would strongly recommend looking a little higher up on the Canon scale. For not that much more, you can find the Canon EOS A2,A2E,5(Europe Name). It's a semi pro camera, with some really nice features... Metal lens mount, faster frames per second, better over all camera. ...and with the A2E or EOS 5, you get eye control focus. Back in the day, I went from a Rebel to a EOS 5 and loved the move. The A2E/5 models are little bigger and a little more heavy, but not buy much. ...not as heavy as the EOS 1 series. So, in that sense, you can stash it in your photo bag and not notice the extra weight.

So, in summary, the Rebel G is a entry level camera. Anything more than a temporary camera for school, look higher up on the Canon lineup.

EOS Rebel G 35mm

I bought this camera because I'm an amateur photographer looking to expand my horizons. I really like this camera because it's great for a beginner. The controls are very simple to master, and since it's a Canon you know it also going to take great photos. The Rebel G has been very kind to it's batteries, having a much longer life than I expected (despite the fact that I accidentally left it turned on for several days). This camera is very light weight for a traditional 35MM SLR, but it certainly gets the job done. The only complaint I have with the camera is the slight lag it takes for the lens to return so you can take another picture, but it's nothing extremely major unless I were to try and take extremely fast paced photographs. All in all, a very good buy.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Camera!!

We got this camera because the lens is interchangable with our 20D. We shot some film the other day and it turned out great!! Easy to use. Unfortunetely, the lens has a gear going out. It makes a horrible noise when focusing. I think this is just because of age not quality. We love Canon. Our friend has a Nikon SLR and it just doesn't compare to our cameras. He even admitted it. Canon in general has better quality lenses.Lire l'avis complet...

I would buy this again, great camera for the money, lots of options.

I have the Canon 300D - UK equivalent to the Rebel. I have found this camera easy to use, and as much as people try to teach me about photography, the best way to learn is to experiment with what you have. The "Auto" setting is great and I have fun changing apertures and shutter speeds etc; it's not like the old days when you had to pay for every print ........... you can just delete anything that you don't like. It's compact, light and fits nicely into my hands. I have just invested in a macro lens and can't wait to get started with that. I also feel that with this camera, like most others, you should invest in a good tripod ... just put it on my Christmas wish list!Lire l'avis complet...

Bad experience.

Not great. The camera I purchased was a little beat up. It had a crack on the digital face. When I put the film in the camera the first time the used camera worked fine. But, after that it could not roll the film properly. The seller stated that the main product for sale was the lens and that the camera itself was just a bonus. But, the bonus did not last long. Other than that major issue. The camera seemed to work fine. The flash worked. The speed between pressing the button and taking the picture was a little slow. But, the pictures turned out all right. And I was pretty pleased with the over all performance of the canon EOS Rebel G.Lire l'avis complet...

The Best Film Camera For The Price!

I absolutely love this camera. I love my digital camera too, but I wanted a better film camera for more professional shots. I am a scrapbooker but I also do photo sessions for friends, family and neighbors and it was important to me to get a camera that didn't cost a bundle, but took color rich, vibrant photographs. This camera is it.

I have also played around with the digital version of the Rebel, and by far I think the film camera is a much better choice.

Digitally I am not looking for a "professional" grade camera, because no matter how many pixels you're looking at, nothing even compares to how awesome a film camera's photographs are.

The price seems steep to many, but for the clarity, richness and overall professional appearance of every photograph it is very well worth it. In addition, there are a lot of accessories that can be combined into the camera to take photographs there is simply no way you would capture with a regular automatic camera - film or digital.

The Canon Rebel is also REALLY easy to use. At first I was a bit stumped when I saw the size of the manual, but everything is laid out nicely, and is very easy to read - even for someone who has no experience with this type of camera. You won't be disappointed.Lire l'avis complet...
