Xsi Rebel - Could Not Be Happier

This is a VERY nice camera. The camera starts up instantly and takes the picture I want with no lag. While shooting sports, lag is always an issue, I have detected none.

The battery is excellent. I was a little apprehensive over the case being plastic. My old camera was an A2E and it was built like a tank. Then I started thinking how they build planes out of plastic, so that concern was negated (at least in my head, and I was going from a tank to plane) so I bought it. Now I love the light weight of this camera and it's no longer an issue "lugging" it around. If you just want to shoot decent shots keep the 18-55mm lens on it. It's a feather, but this is a starter lens. When you get more money you will at some time want to upgrade it, there should be no rush as it's a very capable lens and it has image stabilization. (Hey, who makes better glass than Canon?)

Now for my real only complaint. When I first started using this camera I noticed I was not using the setting I thought I was. When I was shutting off the camera my finger was rubbing against the exposure wheel and it was changing the setting. Since becoming aware if this I have had no more problems with it.

You will be very pleased if you purchase this camera.

XSi Rebel - Very Impressive DSLR

Upgraded my light weight travel camera to the XSi Rebel from a Pentax iST DSLR. Very satisfied with the Canon. Use a 5D for deliberate work but find it too heavy for a walk around camera. Particularly like the ability to capture in RAW in the custom mode and immediately switch to JPEG capture in the preset mode by just turning the dial. Also benefit from extending the telephoto lens when needed with the XSi Rebel.

XSi Rebel – Really Good Camera at a Really Good Price

This is an amazing deal for the package that you are getting. The price is one of the cheaper for what you are getting as a kit that Canon sells as separate pieces which if bought through them they would be about $100 more expensive. The photos are absolutely amazing and this is one heck of a jump up from my old point and shoot Canon Powershot A530. The strap for around your neck is really nice and easy to adjust depending on where you want it to sit. The software that comes with the camera is absolutely amazing and easy to download to your computer. The one thing that you need to get when you are first getting is a case for the camera. Other than that this is one amazing camera even in really low light.

We had a haunted house we were putting on and we had a black light with people drawn on in highlighter and the pictures turned out amazingly for the fact that no other camera in our area could show the highlighter so vividly and without blur. The lowlight setting that you don't want a flash is what I set it to and the pictures are just about like if you were there.

Nikon D80 or Canon EOS Rebel XSi

I am planning to buy a new Digital SLR camera but I'm not sure which camera is the best and worth every penny?

Nikon D80 or Canon EOS Rebel XSi?

Honestly either one will be fine. The Canon is a newer model than the D80 but the D80 is a great camera. The D80 is a notch above a entry level SLR. Nikon I believe is coming out with a replacement for the D80 shortly so you might be able to get a good deal on one soon. That said it really comes down to how they feel in your hands and what features you want. Canon and Nikon are the top camera manufacturers and you can't go wrong with either one. Both have a vast array of lenses and accessories to choose from. You need to go to a camera store and play around with both of them. The one that feels best is the camera for you. When it comes to cameras your choice in lens will be the biggest determiner of image quality not the camera body.
