Digital camera reviews of Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Silver)
Digital camera Review: Glad I got the XSi
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd considered getting the XS instead because of the considerable price difference, but decided on the XSi mostly because of the larger display and overall body dimensions. I'm very pleased with the decision.
The camera is loaded with features that make photography for an amateur like me enjoyable and gratifying. I'm really excited about taking pictures and seeing how they turn out.
The accompanying manual and software are comprehensible and comprehensive. Canon has done a great job!
Digital camera Review: Goodbye Canon PowerShot SD550!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, maybe not, but the Rebel XSi is certainly a step up for me!!! As a certified DSLR newb (this is my first SLR camera of any type), I certainly didn't know what to expect when I ordered this camera. Yeah, I had done all of the online and in-store research, read through myriads of model reviews and pondered my desired requirements, but you never know how things are going to go until you have the product at home and have used it a few times. Bottom line is that the Rebel XSi is easy to use and takes great pictures, which is what it's all about! For someone who never had anything but a point-and-shoot, the learning curve on the Rebel has not been as steep as I originally thought. While I won't be chucking my job to become a paparazzo and art galleries won't be showing any of my works anytime soon, the Rebel XSi works for what I need it for; clean and crisp, albeit amateur, photography.
In the end, I decided to purchase the Rebel XSi for a couple of reasons. First, it met my price point for a first-timer's DSLR camera. I couldn't see myself spending >$1K to support a hobby that I was only beginning to explore. I likened my buying a higher-end prosumer or professional camera body (like a Canon 1D, a 40D or a Pentax/Samsung K20) to throwing the keys for the Maserati to a 15 year-old driver with a learner's permit. I know I could "grow" into a high-end camera, but why take a chance? My second rationale for purchasing the Rebel XSi was the functionalities built into the camera. With comparably-priced DSLRs, i would have had to sacrifice this or that feature that comes included with the XSi.
My much-used PowerShot will be gathering dust...
Digital camera Review: Great Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The last camera I bought was almost 11 years ago. It was a Nikon CoolPix. Great camera but it is antiquated now. I researches for a new camera for at least 10 months before I finally decided upon this one. I wanted a Nikon but all of the reviews lead me to this camera. Feature for feature, dollar for dollar this camera could not be beat. I am satified with it. I do not have any complaints. I made a good choice. This camera will not disappoint you!Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Basically i was searching for a couple of months for the perfect camera for me. I landed on this one and debated for a couple of months because of the price and i didnt want to spend so much and not end up liking it, but it turned out perfect. This camera is light weight compared to others like Nikon D60. The screen is fantastic. Every site i have checked as been right about this camera. Some people find the downside is how loud the shutter is, but personally i like it and it really isn't that bad. Its easy to use just read the manuel. The pictures come out colorful and it really is the perfect beginners camera.Digital camera Review: Great features don't mean a thing if it's out of focus
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera has great features and I really liked it. But unfortunately I had to return it because like many out there, all of my photos were slightly out of focus. I ended up purchasing the Canon Digital Rebel XS instead. I lost a few things, but it was worth it. The XS takes great photos and for the same price I was able to get the camera kit plus an additional 75-300 lens.
