Rating: - Much-Improved Canon SLR
I have previously owned the Canon Rebel XT. I liked this camera as an improvement over my previous Powershot. The SLR offered the focusing and lens possibilities I had experienced with my film Elan camera. However, I found the Canon XT did not do well in low-light situations and that it did not handle situations with varied lighting very well.
The new Canon XSi is a VAST improvement over the XT and well worth the investment. Photos are much sharper. The XSi easily adapts to all types of lighting situations. Also its new larger LCD screen is much easier to use. This camera feels more substantial in the hand, and I find all the buttons smartly placed for ease of use.
I might add that I have added the 55-250mm IS lens to the 18-55mm IS lens. Both are light and easily used. With 2 lenses I have both fairly wide angle and telephoto capabilities. This is a great lens set up for anyone wanting to use their XSi in travel and hiking situations.
Rating: - Amazing D-SLR!
We have had this camera for about 3 weeks now and I have to say we love it. I had a Canon G3 years ago and love every picture taken from it. This is my first DSLR and just as the reviews say and I thought, it is amazing. Most of the pictures were clear and amazingly capture nature, people, landscapes, and night shots with awesome clarity. I looked hard at the 40D and I must say it is a better camera, I just didn't want to spend $500 more for many features that I may never use. I have had some auto focus problems but I attributed them to my own fault.
Rating: - 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 shoot at an object from w/in 10 ft, it has trouble over 50% of the time picking up the autofocus point and often selects the wrong point. If you use center focus, it gets pretty close but final image is still a bit blurry. It becomes a bit sharper w/ the live view autofocus system. When I took some outdoor pics of some animals, i couldn't quite lock on what i was interested in. Even when taking shots of people outside w/ a prominent background, it seems to have trouble deciding if it wants to focus on the person or the background. I'd say that 20% of my shots were actually in focus and those look wonderful. The remaining ones had the focus off. So i'm gonna send my camera to canon for repair. I went to best buy and tried out a 40D and the focus was rock solid. If you get a good camera, kodus to u.
Rating: - Love the camera......... very fast shipping
In short, I read reviews on this camera and found everything to be true. My wife loves the camera. I shopped for over a month at online camera retailers and found Amazon to have the best deal. Shipping was a breeze as well, I recived it before i was suppose to. Would recommend to others and would definetly buy again.
