 This camera is the bomb!!!! January 2, 2009

Im not to experienced with cameras. Matter of fact im not that experienced at all. However I wanted to invest in a better camera than my plain digital camera. I researched cameras for over a month and I always read great reviews on the Canon XSi and my fiance and I just bought one a couple of days ago and we can not put it down. This is the best camera you can buy for your money.
Great camera for the price January 2, 2009

I am not an expert at photography but I bought this camera for a trip we took to Istanbul. I had used my point and shoot before and knew that unless the conditions were perfect I would miss alot of shots. I did do research on other cameras and thought this one provided the best bang for the buck even though it cost a bit more than lots of other entry line DSLRs. I was not disappointed with the performance and found the camera relatively easy to use once I had watched a video and reviewed a book specific to this camera. The big thing that I liked about it was the ability to get some great shots under all kind of conditions. The live shot feature was good too but didn't use it much. In many of the mosques and museums a flash was not allowed or would not have been effective anyways but I was able to get some great shots anyways. The battery lasts a long long time too so you don't have to worry about running out of juice. I have no regrets of getting the camera.
Absolutely Wonderful, Fantastic Camera!!!! January 1, 2009

I had researched both Cannon and Nikon cameras when I decided to upgrade to a SLR. I already owned a Rebel 35mm camera and knew what kind of pictures it took, but like the ease of a digital. Came across someone who had a Cannon XT. It looked alot like my 35m. Long story short, I bought the XSi. It is wonderful. I like that it is easy to use, but gives you professional quality pictures. The biggest selling point for me was that I could you use my lense from my 35mm. The one thing I wish was available, not necessarily for this camera but for any digital SLR is a guide to lenses and attachments to enhance the capapbilites of this great camera. It was a great purchase on my part. I like that the SLRs are available at an affordable price for someone who takes and shares alot of pictures, but not necessarily a professional photograhpher. However, this camera will make your pictures look professional.
Perfect for the serious hobbyist! January 1, 2009

This is my first DSLR and a Christmas gift to myself. I did extensive research before I purchased it and my decision to go with the Rebel XSi was mainly for performance, although price did factor in a bit. In the end I was torn between the XSi and the 40D, which I wanted mainly because it was supposedly better in low light. I was also afraid I would "outgrow" the XSi over time and would regret not purchasing the more "professional" 40D. I went to Ritz Camera to handle both of them and decided the 40D was just too big for me, even though I have larger hands. Plus the 28-135mm kit lens for the 40D was not as much of a wide angle as the kit lens for the Rebel, and with the deal on Amazon right now that gets you the 55-250mm lens for $100 off, it was too good to pass up. So I bought it and I love it. So far I haven't done much with manual mode, since I am still learning. I don't think I will ever outgrow this camera, unless I decide to become a professional photographer and do it for a living. This camera is easy to learn, perfect size to take everywhere, and Amazon has the best deal around. This is truly all the camera you need if you just want to get your feet wet in photography. The auto mode is good enough to get you using the camera until you graduate to the more advanced controls. You don't even need to understand exposure and white balance, the camera does all the work for you! One thing I had worried about is that the camera would feel too cheap with the larger lens attached. It looks and feels just fine. Canon has a wide selection of accessories and lenses that ensure that I can grow into my new hobby. None of the other companies seemed to offer as much for a competitive price. I am in love with my camera and hopefully I will learn to take pictures I will love as well.
Plum Happy with Xsi December 31, 2008

Being a recent convert from the Canon G9,an upscale compact camera, I am thrilled with what a small difference of a couple of hundred of dollars can do with not only image quality but operation and features as well. You would really have to be a pro photographer to need anything else. The Canon Xsi was purchased after a few months of research of all SLR cameras in this price range with image quality being the primary consideration.
