So Far, I'm Loving it!

"Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed my Canon EOS Elan II until I put my hands on this. I set the old one aside for a dinky pocket-size digital and haven't gone back to film. The dinky one finally broke after a few years, and I wanted to get back to taking decent zoom pictures and photographing weddings and such. I'm back to where my heart is. If you liked the Canon film cameras, you'll love this one! a 12 me..." Read Full Review »

Great for a while...

"The EOS Rebel XSi is a great digital SLR for the beginning photographer, but as your skills and requirements expand, the XSi simply can't fit the bill. The 12.2 megapixel sensor is great, all most people will ever need when it comes to cropping and prints. Quickly, though, you'll be envious of the expanded ISO ranges of other cameras (the XSi tops out at 1600). In addition, noise is not at all well controlled ..." Read Full Review »

"After hours of research and trial use, for me, the Canon XSi in the newly available dual IS lens kit was by far the best value available. This kit until now was only available in Europe. The more common dual lens kit sold in the US had Image Stabilization (IS) in the 18-55 lens but not in the 55-250 …"  Read Full Review »

"I have started a photography business and the XSi is the top of the line in the "consumer" base DSLR. I can always upgrade to Canon's pro line while still using all the lenses from my XSi. The 12.2mp CMOS sensor rocks. It uses the same features as the upper models with 14-bit processing rather than …"  Read Full Review »

I was replacing my first camera, a Canon D30. This was Canon's top-of-the-line pro camera and their first digital SLR. I am a beginner and purch …"  Read Full Review »
