 LOVE THIS CAMERA November 14, 2008
I've just upgraded from the 300D to the new XSI. What a difference in terms of speed, options and the 12 MP are incredible. I love the creative flexibility of this camera. For the advanced amateur, this is the camera for you!

This is my first SLR and it only took three years of research and self-justification to finally take the plunge and so far I don't have any regrets!
I went with the 18-55 kit lens and the matching 55-250 lens to stay within a budget and even my worse pictures in automatic mode are optically better than my late model point and shoot.
Moving from a point and shoot to an SLR is a little overwhelming. Concepts like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and how they relate do take some time to understand but once you get past that hurdle - all of the buttons just seem to make sense somehow. If you don't have a friend that can help you, I definitely recommend studying the basic mechanical concepts and reading up on composition tips - and then go out and shoot a ton of photos [just for fun] and try out some different things. Also, I haven't had any problems with the auto-focus issues that some have described - though now that I'm shooting in what's called Av or aperture priority mode, I changed my AF setting to use the center point instead of the all points mode and I get great focusing.
P.S. Don't try to shoot flying butterflies, it's not practical :)
 The best start into Canon DSLR November 13, 2008

I bought this camera last month. I am very happy with it's performance. The kit lens provided is really good with IS within it. I utilized the camera fully on one of my friend's wedding and the outcome was really great! 450D captures every beautiful thing. 3.5 fp is enough to get nearly 40 shots in 10 seconds out of which 20 at least would be sharp and great.
Only problem ( not sure if it is) I found with the camera is that, when I opened the cap of the camera where we insert lens, I found a tiny golden color ring lying inside detached. I am scared if it has been detached from an important part (sensor??) . Would be great if someone helps me out if they know about this.
 Sensor is too small for the number of pixels November 12, 2008

I had it for two days and decided to return it. I have the 5D, and when compared the picture quality in areas of noise and color artifact the XSI is just horrible. I had this feeling that I am using a point and shoot camera. IF ISO set to 400 and lower camera produced a loss of detail and noise that impossible to correct in Adobe ACR. I am not sure that Canon is trying to sell something to a public that may not know better coming from P&S.
Lens was Okay but slow focusing, and I am not sure that IS is even helping in low light, don't forget it is a $125 lens. Overall I am surprised by Canon is was always a leader in the field of photogear.
Great camera. November 12, 2008
This is a great camera for anyone upgrading from a fixed lens digital, especially if you have lenses from your film based EOS like I do. Am very happy with this purchase. Amazon had the best price with no hassel.
