 Love it! November 25, 2008
I absolutely love this camera! In the first week I took over 700 pictures and for the first time in my life I didn't have to correct one red eye!! I borrowed my brother's zoom lens and in certain lighting situations you do need to correct the red eye but I couldn't be happier! I used to spend hours with photoshop to correct the ugly red eye and now I can just enjoy the amazing quality picture this camera takes! Highly recommend!
The Best Camera in its class November 23, 2008
This is the best camera in its class.Canon Digic III processors are made in Japan and are used in the EOS ID Mark III professional camera, while Nikon processors are made in China. Only the Nikon cameras that cost over $1,500 processors are made in Japan.Why do Nikon do this? Also the image stabilizer is built in the lens which is a better philosophy. This camera has 12 mp and a live view. WoW!!!!
Excellent quality--Right price November 17, 2008
We've had the Canon Digital Rebel XSi for a few weeks now, and I am impressed by both the quality of the pictures it produces (with the 18-55 mm IS lens), and the small footprint and light weight of this camera. We usually reserve the SLR that we are using for the more intense photo opportunities, and a good point-and-shoot for general travel usage, where its lighter weight and less cumbersome support equipment is a welcome respite for the shoulder muscles. But this XSi is really no heavier or larger than our latest Olympus point-and-shoot, so we may be rethinking our approach.
The XSi is a move up for us from one of the earliest Digital Rebel camera models that came out a few years ago, mostly so we could take advantage of a better-controlled internal flash unit and the new image-stabilization lenses. The old Rebel flash unit burned out every photo we ever tried with it. All our old Canon lenses work on the new camera as well, especially the 50 mm fixed lens that we use for family portrait shots. So the light, compact body is an unexpected additional benefit. So far, so good.
Could not be happier November 17, 2008
This is a VERY nice camera. The camera starts up instantly and takes the picture I want with no lag. While shooting sports, lag is always an issue, I have detected none.
The battery is excellent. I was a little apprehensive over the case being plastic. My old camera was an A2E and it was built like a tank. Then I started thinking how they build planes out of plastic, so that concern was negated (at least in my head, and I was going from a tank to plane) so I bought it. Now I love the light weight of this camera and it's no longer an issue "lugging" it around. If you just want to shoot decent shots keep the 18-55mm lens on it. It's a feather, but this is a starter lens. When you get more money you will at some time want to upgrade it, there should be no rush as it's a very capable lens and it has image stabilization. (Hey, who makes better glass than Canon?)
Now for my real only complaint. When I first started using this camera I noticed I was not using the setting I thought I was. When I was shutting off the camera my finger was rubbing against the exposure wheel and it was changing the setting. Since becoming aware if this I have had no more problems with it.
You will be very pleased if you purchase this camera.
Very impressive DSLR November 15, 2008
Upgraded my lighweight travel camera to the XSi from a Pentax iST DSLR. Very satisfied with the Canon. Use a 5D for deliberate work but find it too heavy for a walk around camera. Particularly like the ability to capture in RAW in the custom mode and immediately switch to JPEG capture in the preset mode by just turning the dial. Also benefit from extending the telephoto lens when needed with the XSi.
