Great Camera, Great Price, Fast Shipping
I was looking for a camera to start taking family portraits, and this definitely fit the bill. Compared to other mfrs. this camera has great features, maybe more, than other comparable models for the same price or less.
You also can't beat the price you find here. I checked almost all of the bricks and mortar big box stores and their prices were almost the same as the kit prices you'll find here. The kit lenses are great for the serious enthusiast, perhaps even some professionals -...

A Great Camera Overall
This camera is really great!
UPDATE: I've had mine for 3 months and I've taken more than 3000 pictures. I still like it a lot. Amazing.
It's easy to use, the LCD screen is big and clear, it's quite light, and the packaged kit lens (18-55 IS) is good. It's not a top lens, but it delivers sharp photos across the zoom range. Default settings will give you great shots out of the box.
The 9-point auto focus is good most of times, but I found myself using the central point m...

Honestly, I hate it
I hate this camera because it exposes what a crappy photographer I am. Many of my pictures come out "so-so" right now and marginally better than my point and shoot. Spending a little time to get off the autofocus and use manual controls yielded pictures that far surpassed my old 7MP Nikon when dealing with moving objects, which was my primary challenge. I am concerned with the 50,000 picture rating for the shutter since I've already shot 800 pictures in just the first 20 days of owning this came...

Another outstanding Rebel offering
I am a semi-pro photographer who usually shoots with much more expensive bodies. Every now and then, however, I need to bring a smaller camera with me for whatever reason, and this is the one. Also, like a lot of pros and semi-pros I need to have an APS-C body in order to use the cult-followed Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens that only works on APS-C boides such as the Rebels.
In fact Rebels have been the one I go to to fill those needs for a few years now. A lot of semi-pros and pros critici...

Fantastic Camera, but suggest you buy somewhere else
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Fantastic Quality for my hobbyist photography needs. Although it's plastic, this build is sturdy as a rock. The hand grip is a little tight for my tastes, but works great for my wife so I made the compromise.
In addition, image quality is fantastic, especially with a kit lens. I will say that, by default, the pictures are a little soft for my tastes b...

Great Macros...Poor medium to long range Autofocus
I picked up this camera two weeks ago at a local store. Overall, it's a solid camera. Color reproduction is wonderful, it's quick, low noise with high iso, and terrific macros. The camera is blazing fast. Please refer to the other posters for the good points of this camera.
Now i'll discuss the shortcomings. The major one, which has been referenced to in various forums such as dpreview and a few online review sites is poor AutoFocus. Not all cameras are affected, but mine was. If you...

Fantastic sensor, great functionality, decent kit lens
Overall, this is a first-class entry from Canon, with a superb 12.2MP CMOS sensor that keeps noise to a minimum, even more so with NR enabled. Paired with good lenses the XSI/450D can provide jaw-dropping images with incredible detail. Overall shooting speed is very, very good and the viewfinder is generously sized. The LCD is large and bright.
As there are a large number of reviews of the Rebel XSI already, I'll attempt to detail the few negative aspects of the camera so prospective...

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice size and weight, very solid, feels great in the hands. Beautiful huge LCD. Included lens is pretty nice although the 28-235mm woulda been alot nicer, still it takes great sharp pictures. Controls are very easy to understand. Nice mix of presets and manual setting, very versatile. Really nice neck strap. Very impressed with the overall quality of con...

poor focus quality
I've had this camera for 3 months now and would send it back if I could. This is my first SLR so I thought the focus problem was user error; that I just didn't know how to use it. I've used manual focus on a tripod with a 2 sec delay to make sure the issues wasn't shake. Now I see other's with the same problem so I believe it's a camera problem. I'm going to send it in for repair, so hopefully they have a fix for the problem. It's pretty sad when my little point and shoot has superior photo qual...

Has potencial, but its AF is not soooo good
I bought this camera after graduating from an old Olympus C-5050 point and shoot camera. The C-5050 offered almost every DSLR feature except for bulb, which I need for my Astrophotography. After spending several years understanding the manual features of the C-5050 I thought is was time to graduate to my first REAL dslr.
After shopping around testing out various models such as the Olympus evolt, Nikon D80, and this one, the Canon XSi, I found the XSi was the best choice for the mone...
