A "CANON EOS REBEL G SLR CAMERA W/ 35-80MM LENS"; I'm taking a photography class; is this camera the right one

I need a '35 mm SLR camera with a 50 mm lens, lens cover, manual or with manual override, built in light meter or handheld light meter, camera strap cable release, & a UV filter for your lens'.



Thanks guys!

you list a zoom, but specify a 50mm?


so if a zoom is ok with the teacher use it, i would think its not as they want to teach you real photography hence film: using the zoom distrorts things whereas 50mm in a SLr is considered standard or close to human eye sight

as for the accesories like uv, strap go get em

check the lens issue first, personally i wouldnt get the Eos but something like a real manual camera like a nikon "F" series or minolta "x" series or a canon AE1 or so

If I were your instructor I'd say "No" to this camera. I'd tell you to buy a Canon FTb or Pentax K1000 or Minolta SRT-102 or 202 with a 50mm (NOT 35-80mm zoom) lens.

Ask your instructor if this one is acceptable - and be glad I'm not your instructor lol.

If the instructor requires a 50mm lens, keep what you have and buy a 50mm lens. You should be able to find a nice used Canon lens on eBay or craigslist.
