 Canon Rebel XSi 12mp Excellent Camera September 15, 2008
I love this Camera, it has alot of options on it to work with that in time come easy to use, but also as a point and shoot, this thing is awesome!! I have big hands and it works well for me, the buttons and the menu are very user friendly, you manually zoom and it is so quick to focus and take the picture, is well wow, and quick burst, this thing is insane. The quality of picture that this camera produces, when I print them they are some of the best I have seen. Well worth your money. Best Camera I have ever owned.
Great Camera September 15, 2008
I am not a professional photographer by any means, but am very handy with electronics. I wanted to get a "very nice" camera, but one that I would also be able to use. I purchased this camera the day before leaving to Thailand on my honeymoon. It was great, and the pictures (about 3000 over two weeks) turned out great! It was easy to use, durable and the pictures came out crystal clear. I read the manual over the 20+ hour flight and learned a lot about the features of the camera. It was comfortable in my hands, and I even taught my technologically deficient wife how to use it once I was comfortable with it myself! The pictures from our honeymoon were applied to my slideshow screen saver on my computer and as my friends looked at them, they thought the pictures looked like post cards, and didn't believe that we took the pictures and figured that the screen saver came standard on the computer!
I will say this, originally I figured that the screen would have live viewing and you would not be forced to look through the eye piece (similar to most point-and-shoot cameras of today). However, it was not as annoying as I thought, and I'm not certain if any higher end SLR cameras have this feature (or at least any under $1000). Aside from that, the camera was great, pictures were great, and it was easy to use! I'm sure that there are 100's of features I'm not sure of how to use, but if I have up to it, I'm sure that I can figure it out. The manual constantly said that it's easier to use the automatic focus options, which I did, and had no complaints!
I would recommend this camera to anyone that likes to vacation, or has children in sports and wants to take great pictures. This camera is one of the most recent to come out. And I cannot wait to get a higher zoom lens and a wide angle lens for Christmas!
Hope this helps to the amateurs out there!
Awesome for the money spent September 14, 2008
I couldn't be happier with this awesome camera. I was tempted to buy Canon D40, but after lot of thinking I wanted to concentrate on getting more by getting better lenses. I do not think I had to sacrifice - I just had to stick with my budget and this way I was able to get awesome camera and still money left buying better lenses!!!
Great Camera, not for everyone (Autofocus little unpredictable) September 13, 2008
After a few weeks of using I have taken great shots, but I have had to select central focus point or others focus points manually. The nine focus points by default tend to select the near subject, and not is usually the subject that I wanted. In SLR cameras the "deep of field" is more notorious, than point and shoot cameras. Now I understand, why some people sees focus issues with this camera. Once you Understand the capabilities (and some limitations), You have a great photographic tool.
Another Thing, the first day I tried my old 420EX flash, It didn't work. I tried Canon support for product compatibility questions and they respond very quickly. Later I clean the contacts and the problems were solves. I have tried this camera with my old EF 50mm 1.8II lens and EF 75-300 3.5-5.6 Ultrasonic with great results. (Sorry for my English)
 I really, really want to love this camera September 12, 2008

I upgraded to the XSi from the original Canon Digital Rebel (300D). I love everything about the XSi, except for one thing -- it can't take a sharp picture with my Canon 75-300 IS lens. At first I was in denial. Then I spent an afternoon taking pictures with the zoom lens on both the 300D and the XSi. On the 300D, the pictures are as sharp as ever. On the XSi, they are not. It seems to have something to do with the depth of field--the shorter the depth of field (either because of aperture or focal length) the blurrier the picture.
So I sent it to Canon for repair, along with the 75-300 lens at their suggestion. The XSi was under warranty, so no charge there, but the lens was not, which resulted in a $90 charge.
I just got the camera back; there is no indication as to what they did. But there is no difference in the quality of photos with the 75-300 lens.
This is so sad. I'm okay with getting a bad product every now and then, but if I send it in for repair to make it right--the manufacturer should make it right. Now I have a crappy camera AND I'm out another $90 dollars.
