XSi / 450D
by rgdak on October 3, 2008
Pros: better ergonomy than 350D and 450D,- good image quality,- possibility to change ISO settings in viewfinder,- 3-inches LCD,- good autofocus
Cons: ISO 3200 absence,- Menu key in uncomfortable place.

Summary: I've used Canon EOS Xt (350D) earlier. 450D is better younger brother of this camera. I'm contented of my XSi beacause I have good quality of photos for a quite good money. Photography is my biggest passion and in future I want to buy more advanced Canon camera, for example EOS 50D. Effects of my work with Canon (and Panasonic earlier) at: www.rafalgdak.pl

Best choice for price/quality ratio
by Bourbon08 on September 16, 2008
Pros: Easy operation, but still excellent picture quality
Cons: Flash light shoul be physically adjustable.
Summary: My preferred camera. I could say: exactly as my Nikon AF used to be 20 years ago.

Thank you so much for your reviews; you were RIGHT ON
by GlennPorter on September 12, 2008
Pros: I love this DSLR Camera which I bought from BuyDig, it has absolutely stunning color, the IS lens overcomes the problems that the XTi experienced and this is an easy camera to use through a well thought out menu system.
Cons: I wish the rebates would be available directly from Canon, none of the stores want to deal with the instant rebate unless they can pop up the price of the lens needed to get it.
Summary: Trust me, you won't regret your choice, just go out and run it through its stuff.

Have not found anything this camera cannot do
by teedo on August 7, 2008
Pros: Fast startup, great picture quality, Auto mode helps the beginner take great shots
Cons: A lot of features causes a larger learning curve.

Summary: My wife and I love this camera! We bought it about a month and a half ago and bring it where ever we go. The quality of the images is great. There is a lot of advanced features however I enjoy being able to turn it on auto and not have to worry about my settings. I have not learned how to disable the flash other then pressing the button half way down and when the flash pops up I press it back down and then take my picture. The live view is nice for finding focus with astrophotography but in a real shooting environment the 1/2 sec delay between pressing the button and shooting makes it less then a point and shoot. The advanced features of the camera allow you to grow and advance your skills at your own pace. We were going to purchase another point and click but with my son growing up we wanted something that we could use for years to come and this was a great choice.

I must have a bad one....
by Ghostwheel00 on August 5, 2008
Pros: Speedy picture taking (once it figures out what you want)
Cons: See opinion. There were a lot.
Summary: Most people seem to love this camera, so I can only assume I have a bad one, or the lens that came with it was so bad as to ruin ...
Summary: Most people seem to love this camera, so I can only assume I have a bad one, or the lens that came with it was so bad as to ruin the camera's functionality.
I purchased this as Costco, with an EF-S 18-55 mm lens included.
I started out with the "Point and click" mode, not expecting much, but expecting better than my standard "Point and click" camera. Imagine my surprise when the indoor picture taken was not even remotely as focused as my 6mp Kodak Z612 (which has a killer zoom for a point and click, and great outside pics, but is not very good inside)
So I moved on to the "Creative" modes. No matter what I did, or how I adjusted, the Kodak outperformed the Canon in sharpness, color, color contrast and image stabilization. You can't even adjust the ISO on the Kodak, and I still got sharper indoor pictures.
I did not like that I was unable to turn off the flash in "auto" mode, only in creative mode.
I also found that when I adjusted the settings, the first picture taken took longer to snap than subsequent pictures, like the camera was trying to figure out what was different. All subsequent pictures snapped quickly, until I changed settings again.
The Canon was great for speed, and long about the third picture in a burst, the focus usually came through, but I'm usually a single shot person. I've tried two, maybe Costco got a bad batch, but the camera is unusable unless you want fuzzy pictures. -

Summary: As my first DSLR, I couldn't ask for a better camera. Light and easy to use, the pictures it produces are nothing short of astounding, even using the toy-like 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. Only issue I have is that the right hand grip seems a bit small, but then I've got large hands... Great starter camera for those wishing to upgrade from a point-and-shoot!

Unsurpassed camera and kit lens for the money

Pros: Image quality, high ISO quality, improved viewfinder, 3" LCD screen, size, weight, accepts the RC-1 remote price, kit lens improved menus, My Menu, faster motor,
Cons: SD cards, small buffer, another new battery size and charger, no single button mirror lock up
Summary: The XSi is a break through camera in many respects. It's image quality of it's sensor is remarkable for any 12 MP camera, regardless of price. The IS ...
Summary: The XSi is a break through camera in many respects. It's image quality of it's sensor is remarkable for any 12 MP camera, regardless of price. The IS kit 18-55mm lens is the best ever offered by Canon and is highly useable by photographers of virtually any level. Canon has never offered a camera with as good image quality at ISO's 400, 800 and 1600. The XSi makes a great first camera, but also a potentially valuable second or third body for the more experienced photographer. The camera body weighs very little and fits into the space occupied by a single lens in a camera pack. The XTi is an excellent camera in almost all respects, but the XSi moves the 'entry level' Canon camera ahead in almost every area. The only negatives I can think of are the switch SD cards, the need for 'another' new battery and charger and while you can pre-set settings in 'My Menu', it would excellent if there were 'one button' access to mirror lock up on ALL Canon camers.
