Rating: - 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 quality.
On the positive side, I love the ergonomics of the camera. It's easy to use and the battery life is awesome. Over a 2 day trip and 300 photos, the battery held up great.
I actually love the camera except for the focus issue which when resolved will improve the rating significantly.
Rating: - Canon XSi - Excellent value for money
I've been using 35mm cameras for over 30 years and had been using a number of Canon point and shoot cameras before making the transition to a digital SLR. Those of you who are familiar with the Canon menu systems on their point and shoot cameras will find it very easy to make the transition to the XSi - it uses the same menu based systems you have been using.
The decision to go with with Canon XSi was based on the assumption that the DSLRs are going to continue to get better and better over the next few years and rather than make a heavy investment in the camera it was better to buy a reasonably priced camera and plan to upgrade over time and use some of the cash that could have been spent on a camera to buy quality glass for the camera.
There are a number of reviews on the web that highlight the excellent quality of the image sensor on the XSi and they all suggest that the sensor is better than the stock lens on the camera. My suggestion is that don't buy the lens that comes with the camera, unless you want to sell it on EBay, and make the investment in lenses to go with the camera.
In terms of the shooting quality I have been using the camera for the past month and have been very impressed with the images taken. They are far superior to point and shoot images and are comparable to the 35mm that I have been used to.
For those of you with big hands the camera body is very small in the hand and you may want to consider buying the optional battery grip that comes with the camera to make it easier for the camera to fit in your hand. I am 6 foot tall and my pinky finger doesn't fit on to the grip because my hand is too big.
Rating: - love my canon 450 xsi
Great camera for novice or semi-pro. This is my third Canon. Each one better than the previous.Purchased a USM lens pictures are sharp and clear. Color right on. IS is so helpful when needed.
Rating: - canon camera comfort
This camera is fabulous - I needed a light body due to a hand injury - even with my canon lenses, it is still manageable - the photos are beautiful - !!! great options - works great with all my old lenses , digital or not - thank you !!!!
