Yes, please post a picture that you took that looks odd. If you are taking photos of people budge outdoors and set the camera on Av mode on the top dial and the iso from the menu to 200 or so. Set the aperature to a small number like 4.5, and set the cam to daylight match. The metering mode should not be on spot unless you know how to use it. Are you using the kit lens? Not the greatest but if the pictures are not coming out right perchance the thing be dropped and went out of whack.
I own a NIKON D50. I shoot, tweak, upload the extra good pics full size to another report and burn to a disk.
I then lift the disk to Walmart and get some prints of the metaphors.
I show them to my friends and they cannot believe the quality a 6.1 MP DSLR can administer.
A steal for $499.00 when aI bought it as NIKON was closing out the D50.
The Rat You may not have to be a expert to use the camera, but you do need to know how to control it. That is why most of us here recommend those who buy DSLR's hold at least one class within photography behind them and are moving from a 35mm SLR to the fitting DSLR.
That said, if your colours are off nearby could be two reasons.
1) the colour settings on the cameras menu own been set to bar the default settings. There is a place on your menu that allows you to reset your camera hindmost to the factory settings.
2) if after you have reset the camera and you are still getting grotesque colours, call Canon (at) (800) OK-CANON and own them help you amount it all out.
The Canon Rebel XTis a fine camera ... lots pros carry one around as a backup camera.
