First Digital SLR...September 7, 2008 This was my first DSLR. Having only known point and shoot cameras this was an excellent next step. Easy to use, light enough to carry around though can get a bit heavy after awhile. The lens and features were great too. I've since added a 70-300 mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens and makes a great package. Picture quality is outstanding - didn't anticipate the significant improvement between a point and shoot and this camera. We visited Vienna recently and were amazed at the great photos! A very nice camera!
good midlevel digital cameraSeptember 5, 2008 much better than the model it has replaced.2nd curtain flash is an advanced feature.live view can't be beat.
From Point and Shoot to SLRSeptember 4, 2008 I just received my Canon Rebel XSI after graduating from two Canon point and shoot models. It is quite a step for someone who likes to take radom family shots without any fussing with camera settings. I was impressed after reading the other reviews on this camera as it does allow a fully automatic option similar to the simplier line of cameras.
After experimenting with this camera for a couple of days, I have taken the leap and tried to manual shots using various settings. So far, it seems to be an easy camera to use in both manual and full auto settings.
I purchased the semi hard case to protect it while it is hanging from the neck strap which comes with the camera. I am now considering the purchase of a macro lens to take closeups of my new grand daughter. The kit lens that come with the camera does have the flexibility of zooming and image stabilization which would not be allowed with the new micro lens. I feel that after I get more used to the manual camera settings and how best to utilize them without a lot of hesitation, I will purchase the macro lens.
So far I can say after only two days of owning and playing around with this camera, I am very pleased with my decision. I almost purchased the XTI model and now am glad I spent only about $100 more to upgrade to the XSI as it has SD memory card, image stabilization and is 12 megapixal along with the 3" LCD display.
Awesome!September 3, 2008 Great camera for the beginner!! Probably good for the experienced - but I wouldn't know. It takes great pictures.
Still deliberatingSeptember 3, 2008 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
So I would probably be giving it a 5 star review but unfortunately, right out of the box, I could not use any creative modes and change ISO, WB, or anything else. The camera would only work in auto modes and it wouldn't allow me to reset because when in creative modes (Aperture, Tv, Adep, Program, etc) I was not able to get the menu to show up when pushing menu button....It would only take a shot in creative modes if I switched to Manual focus and then I couldn't change anything but fstop or aperture...It was very frustrating to be on vacation and to not be able to use the camera beyond the basic point and shoot auto modes...I called Canon and they said that it needs to be serviced. I decided not to send it to Canon where they'd fix the existing camera and send it back in a week or two and to just have Amazon send me a new one since I JUST got this camera a week ago! I want it perfectly new and functional out of the box! If I can get one that works right I'm sure I'd be giving it 5 stars...so when I get my replacement in I'll hopefully leave a better review!
