Xsi Rebel - Canon Rebel Xsi 12Mp Excellent Camera

I love this Camera, it has alot of options on it to work with that in time come easy to use, but also as a point and shoot, this thing is awesome!! I have big hands and it works well for me, the buttons and the menu are very user friendly, you manually zoom and it is so quick to focus and take the picture, is well wow, and quick burst, this thing is insane. The quality of picture that this camera produces, when I print them they are some of the best I have seen. Well worth your money. Best Camera I have ever owned.

XSi Rebel - Great Camera

I am not a professional photographer by any means, but am very handy with electronics. I wanted to get a "very nice" camera, but one that I would also be able to use. I purchased this camera the day before leaving to Thailand on my honeymoon. It was great, and the pictures (about 3000 over two weeks) turned out great! It was easy to use, durable and the pictures came out crystal clear. I read the manual over the 20+ hour flight and learned a lot about the features of the camera. It was comfortable in my hands, and I even taught my technologically deficient wife how to use it once I was comfortable with it myself! The pictures from our honeymoon were applied to my slideshow screen saver on my computer and as my friends looked at them, they thought the pictures looked like post cards, and didn't believe that we took the pictures and figured that the screen saver came standard on the computer!

I will say this, originally I figured that the screen would have live viewing and you would not be forced to look through the eye piece (similar to most point-and-shoot cameras of today). However, it was not as annoying as I thought, and I'm not certain if any higher end SLR cameras have this feature (or at least any under $1000). Aside from that, the camera was great, pictures were great, and it was easy to use! I'm sure that there are 100's of features I'm not sure of how to use, but if I have up to it, I'm sure that I can figure it out. The manual constantly said that it's easier to use the automatic focus options, which I did, and had no complaints!

I would recommend this camera to anyone that likes to vacation, or has children in sports and wants to take great pictures. This camera is one of the most recent to come out. And I cannot wait to get a higher zoom lens and a wide angle lens for Christmas!

Hope this helps to the amateurs out there!

I am looking into purchasing the Nikon Coolpix S550? Should I buy it?

I am looking to buy an excellent quality camera with excellent picture quality, lens, etc.

I've read some reviews about the Nikon S550, but I'd like to know what you think. It would be especially helpful if you owned the Nikon Coolpix S550 and could give me some feedback about it (both positive and negative). If you have this camera, did you get a USB cable with it?

If you have any other recommendations I'm looking for a digital camera:

10MP
4-5x Optical Zoom
Inbuilt Battery (Lithium Ion Battery)
Preferably compatible with SD Memory Cards

No more than $300AUD

Thanks in advance.

Also, I've heard Panasonic, Canon, Nikon and Sony all make very good cameras. What do you think?
LeMacPere: Thanks for your helpful answer but I was under the assumption that the Nikon Coolpix S550 had an inbuilt battery. Or maybe it takes batteries?

U wanna stick with Nikon or Cannon cuz they are the best. I have the S550 and I love it. I really like the pictures it takes, and the manual options are good. The 5x optical zoom is wonderful. I really dont have any complaints about it. If u get it, just make sure u get an additional battery. U never want to be without a battery! And if it helps, it takes my 8gb card, and I'm sure it'll take the higher ones too. It does take SD cards, the most versatile memory card out there! Good luck!
