What do you plan to be shooting? If you are just shooting casual subjects like family, friends, travel and don't want to take control of the Camera's exposures manually, then the cheap Rebel G II is good enough. It is the cheapest SLR Canon can offer. The other Rebels are for more serious photographers who want more speed and accuracy. Image quality for all of the Cameras are the same. It will depend on what lens you use. The only difference, is the internal strength of the cameras which will effect speed and accuarcy, but not much for the image.
For more serious stuff like sports, then you will be asking for the Canon EOS Elan 7N/NE or the professional EOS 3 or 1V. The Rebel series is aimed at regular consumers almost exclusively.

Thank Hugh
I have been looking around a bit more over here in London and the only one i can find matching the Rebel T2 is Canon 300x.
But i think i will order the Rebel.
Is i worth spending some more money on a USM lens?

Hi,
If you don't mind spending more money for quality, then buy a body kit and get a seperate lens. The kit lens is very basic and cheap. The aperture is not constant and the images are soft when you blow them up. They are only good for 4X6 and 5X6 prints. Any print higher and the softness will show. Nevertheless, the kits lenses are easy and very user friendly. If you don't want to take photography to the next level, then this will be a sufficient start.
Just a warning, if you get bitten by the "photo bug" and get more enthusiastic with photography, you will end up turning in your early purchases to help aid the purchases of newer and more advanced equipment. It happened to me
. Just be confident that you will never upgrade yourself to advanced amerture or save up and buy the best stuff you can muster so that there will be little needs for future upgrades.
