Rebel XSi - The Next / the best of Canon

Let's start with what this camera is NOT:

1) There is a full frame camera. That means it is smaller, light, and the result 1.6x crop factor is important to remember if you already have EF lenses. But because it is smaller by offering fewer features it is easier to use, at the expense of being somewhat less functional. These are, for the most part, obscure features nobody will use anyway. Moreover, because they do not have features like 6.5 fps, a pentaprism, and flash exposure is less expensive than x0d series.

2) The Rebel XSi is not a point-and shoot digital camera. Do not expect to do videos, sound, or to incorporate all types of Uber convenient automation. While 'cool', this automation usually only keeps you in control of what you want to do yourself. Most times, this camera will stay in "P" or "mode of program for me. There is a green to aim and shoot operation, but all this does is disable most features you buy the camera.

2a) Live View is not the same as the LCD display point and shoot digital cameras. Do not expect to focus quickly or provide the same functionality. Live View is assigned to a camera mounted on a tripod or held steady. It is a great way to get perfect focus when needed. You just expanded at 10x magnification and manually focus or let the contrast detection do it for you. But NOT an LCD viewfinder. To the extent not think it (I was sufficiently stupid as to think that way), then you know before you buy.

The bad: (to be fair, these are true digital SLR the latest)

1) The battery has improved, yes, but is very expensive. I bought a generic battery for a backup. Canon keeping the battery fully charged, of course, and only with the generic when the fee is being charged.

2) The LCD screen is right where nose and cheek go. You can not prevent the glass was dirty and uncomfortable. And if the S5 can be articulated 2.5 "screen, why can not the Rebel XSi?

3) A cheesy rubber cover. I like that all inputs are on the side, but I hate the rubber cheese covers. I prefer a sliding cover or, better yet, use the space next to the SD slot.

4) The battery door on the bottom. In my tripod, I can not access the battery without removing the camera from the tripod. This was also a problem with my first two digital rebel.

Now, we make a reality check:

1) For who say, "It is only 12MP," they are right. But, I understand that unless you are printing larger than 8x10 ", this resolution is more enough. In fact, most lenses do not have sufficient resolution to go above 12 megapixels. What I mean is that you can have a camera 100 megapixels but its target is only really worth pushing out 10MP resolution quality, what's the point? Many point and shoot have a resolution too much for his sunglasses. Try flying a typical 10MP p-&-s image to 8x10 and see what there is. It is likely that the sensor 8MP Digital Rebel XT the best.

2) Some will say "You feel weak." I totally agree. It feels solid and durable for me. Now, if you do not already know, plastic is actually cover and seal the environment. Below, there is a stainless steel frame that contains everything solid. His belt fits directly into the framework as the lens mount, tripod mount, and the sensor. The plastic is not structural so however, you could feel the camera is actually stronger than you might think. Now, I can understand if you're used to tough magnesium shells can be prejudiced against the plastic, however this camera costs hundreds less. One can not justify criticizing the Rebel series if they are not willing to pay extra for x0d series.

3) Critics say APS-C will be obsolete. That's absurd! Remember that there are now tens of APS-C lens from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina and those numbers continue to grow. In addition, APS-C cameras are selling like hotcakes without any sign of slowing. These people are the same ones that kept their Reel-to-reel players because they were higher quality. For highest quality, yes, but you can not say that the CD will not sell well because reel-to-reel is of higher quality.

APS-C is becoming equivalent in 35mm film SLR than it was. Meanwhile, the so-called full-frame sensor cameras are going the way of 6x7 old and 645 cameras film. They are limited to professionals and high-end enthusiasts. Why? Film was limited and passed out in resolution long ago. For higher resolution, I needed bigger film. Not true with digital sensors. APS-C has not maxed out the resolution yet. Even smaller sensors achieve the right pace. There is no reason sensors can not hit 20-30 megapixels in an APS-C in the near future, but why? The lenses are still the limiting factor. Of It may indeed be true that small will soon be better. As sensors for improvement, which may be smaller. It is cheaper to undertake a period of four thirds APS-C or a comprehensive framework of the same quality level.

This is where I game design ... What do you need the Rebel XSi?

1) articulating LCD. As I said earlier, if Canon can add articulating 2.5 "screen to the S5 camera for $ 350 total, why in the world can not put in his best-selling DSLR?

2) Sliding door for entry. Top with cheese rubber are not as cold as the designers think they are. Why can not Canon has just put a closed door environment of the battery, SD card, and all inputs? And, hey, why not put it on the side so you can access it while the camera is on the tripod?

3) Why are all the tickets? Only has a USB slot for connecting to a PC, TV, and use the same USB port for a DC input?

4) A line? Why not two? The Pentax K20D allows instant access to the mesh opening with a line speed other. Cool.

5) Where to go in February? Flash exposure? They had him in the XTi. Why take it away from me?
