Canon EOS Rebel G Review. The Canon EOS Rebel G is a perfectly competent, all- plastic 3.
SLR film camera that works with all Canon autofocus (EOS) lenses. It's a plastic camera with a plastic lens mount and a mirror prism, so it weighs nothing! The Rebel G works great with IS lenses, and everything except Canon's EF- S lenses for small- format digital cameras (or the ancient FD lenses for manual focus cameras that went obsolete in 1. It first winds the film to the end, and then shoots the frames in reverse order. Its frame counter always shows you the frames remaining as it counts backwards.

All the hot lenses you buy for your 1. D X and 5. D Mark III, like the 1. II, fisheyes and super- teles, all are 1. Rebel G body for one- half of one percent of the cost of a 1. DS Mk III body. The Rebel G was an inexpensive film camera. Its advantage is that it weighs nothing and works great.
It shoots in all exposure modes and has a modern evaluative metering system. Pop on a pro lens like the 1. L II, and the package is still light enough to throw around your neck all day.
The Rebel G feels like a toy, but it's beauty is that it doesn't weigh anything. It's an easy camera to knock around all day, and brings back great results, even on Fuji Velvia 5. The only gotha is that the finder is a super- light penta- mirror type, so the finder isn't quite as big, sharp or as contrasty as a pro film camera. If I shot this camera all day, every day I'd want a better finder for my convenience, but as a knock around camera, it's great. This EOS Rebel G replaced the EOS Rebel XS (EOS 5.

II at 1. 6mm, Tiffen 8. Fuji Velvia 5. 0. Ergonomics. The Rebel G is easy to use. I had no manual and had no problems. There is no depth- of- field preview, probably the only feature I missed. The eyepiece blind, used to prevent the meter form being fooled if you use the camera on a tripod and don't have your eye on the finder, is a flexible rubber cover that should be attached to the strap.
Personally, I prefer to use my thumb anyway. The top command dial is entirely fitting for a cheap camera. The embarrassing part is that the same skinny, hard plastic dial is used in the $8,0. Ds Mk III, instead of a nice rubber one. Autofocus. AF just works. I left it in the auto- select mode, and all my shots were great.
Considering that the three AF sensors are all pretty close to the center, I see no reason to use the Rebel G's manual selection ability. Exposure. Exposure is very good. Even with shots deliberately designed to confuse the meter, it gave OK results, although maybe a half to a full stop different from what I'd get from the infallible Color Matrix meter of the Nikon F6. When you ignore the slight errors on tough shots, my Fuji Velvia 5. The Rebel G works perfectly for shots with direct sunlight or blinding reflections shining into the camera. Pyramid, Miramar, San Diego. EOS Rebel G, 2. 8- 1.
IS, Tiffen 8. 1C filter, Fuji Velvia 5. The Rebel G ignored the reflection and gave a perfect slide. Exposure for 3. 0 second shots at night was also just fine. It's easy to run out of range with ISO 5.
Anything beyond about 5 feet with a slow lens like the 2. IS was underexposed. I recall no warnings from the camera that the flash exposure may have been low; my Nikons tell me when I've made a shot that might turn out too dark with a rapidly blinking flash bolt. As a cheap camera, the Rebel G only sets and indicates to half, not third stops.
So what? Built- in Flash. No news here: it works, but doesn't have much range with ISO 5. It uses no preflashes as digital cameras use, so you won't see it go off because the mirror flips up at the instant of exposure.
Large lenses like the 1. II will cast shadows.
Finder. The finder is what you'd expect from a cheap SLR. It's much better than the puny finders of Canon's 1. SLRs. This is acceptable for the price, but if I peered through this finder al day, every day, I'd want a better one. The advantage of the mirror, not solid glass prism, used in the finder of the Rebel G is that the camera weighs almost nothing.
The digital =display at the bottom is better than Canon's best digital cameras. I find the display of the 1. Ds Mk III too dim, while the more primitive display in the Rebel G is fat enough and bright enough to be legible in any light.
The Rebel G's finder doesn't show that much, but it shows all I need, like shutter, aperture, bar graph and flash ready. The three AF zones don't light up.
There are three indicators in the bottom digital display that tell you which are active. The finder's digital displays are nice, fat, light green numbers on a medium dark green background. Finder Framing Accuracy As expected, my mounted slides included a little bit more than shown in the finder. I prefer this to my Nikon F6, which shows more in the finder than I get on my slides. I can just shoot with the Rebel G, but with my F6 I have to remember to leave a little breathing room around my subject so I don't lose parts of my picture.
Advantage: Rebel G! Homage to Christo. EOS Rebel G, 1. 6- 3. II at 1. 6mm, Tiffen 8.
Fuji Velvia 5. 0. Usage top Intro Specs Performance Usage Recommendations. Canon EOS Rebel G with 2. IS. enlarge. The Rebel G is easy to figure out. The few functions are set by pressing the FUNC button on top and looking at the right of the LCD. You can set Red Eye mode, the beeper, multiple exposures and bracketing. It's so easy and well thought out it was obvious even without the User's Manual.
The top LCD isn't illuminated, but it is big and clear. I had no problems reading it, but bring a small flashlight (or pop open your cell phone) if you want to read it for night shots outdoors.
Power Switch. There is power switch. OFF is the red L position of the big top dial. ON is any other position. Feel free to leave the Rebel G in any position all day; it goes to sleep and wakes up instantly as needed. I only use the L position when putting it away in a case where the shutter might get pressed accidentally. Film Loading. The roll winds ahead when first loaded.
The counter starts at about 3. After you shoot shot #1, the last shot, the film quickly winds the leader in the cassette and the finder display shuts off and the camera stops working.
The top LCD blinks the film icon to let you know it's time to pull out the film. You can dry fire the Rebel G, but only after you've removed the dead roll. Images are shot with the usual orientation; the 3. You can check that the film's ISO was read correctly by the DX system by spinning the knob to ISO, which is also where you can set a different ISO if you want to screw up your shots. Shooting Modes. As expected the Green Box Automode is the same as Program, except that the full- auto Green Box mode locks out many settings like exposure compensation and program shift.
I shoot in Program. Program shift resets after the Rebel G meter times- out. You can unshift the program by shifting it back to normal, or letting the meter time- out or change the exposure mode dial.
Exposure Lock (*) stays locked like the jaws of a pit- bull until you change modes, take a picture, turn off the camera or let the meter time- out. Exposure Metering. You're always in Evaluative, which is a smart multi- segment copy of Nikon's Matrix meter. The Rebel G stays in evaluative when you use exposure compensation. The only way out of Evaluative is to select Manual exposure mode, which gives you an Averaging meter. To get the heavily central- weighted "partial" meter, press the exposure lock (*) button by your right thumb. You can check this by pointing the Rebel G either at a very bright white in direct sunlight or at a solitary light at night.
When you tap the exposure lock button you'll see the exposure settings change a lot. Autofocus Settings. The Rebel G selects its three sensors automatically by default. To pick just one sensor, press the top [ - - - ] button and spin the dial.
There's no obvious way to select ONE SHOT (focus and lock) or AI SERVO (keep tracking) modes. The Rebel G selects these for us based on the exposure mode! For instance, sports id AI SERVO (tracking) and portrait is ONE SHOT (focus and lock), etc.
In P, you get ONE SHOT if your subject is still and you get a lock dot in about a second. If your subject is moving and the Rebel G can't lock in a second or so, it keeps hunting and tracking with the dot off.
