The Rebel XT is a great little camera. You can use all of Canons EF and EFs lenses near this camera. From the wide angle to super telephoto. For a first time user of SLR cameras it is a great camera to cram on.
The down sides to the XT are that it is an older model. There hold been two principal upgrades so far so it is technologically at the back the times. That said it will provide you with heaps years of good service. It may not be as pious as the newer models but the image trait and performance will be better than any point and shoot camera.
If you can't afford to procure the XTi this will be a fine choice.
If you want another camera to look at in like peas in a pod price range check out the Nikon D40 $500 or a short time less.
