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: Really good camera at a really good price
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Smarter Than Me

This camera can do anything. It is easy to use yet it will still take me awhile to be able to tap the potential contained in the camera. Interface is easy to understand and you will be taking basic pics in no time. I do highly suggest you invest in the optional battery grip. Feels great and provides almost endless power.Digital camera Review: Super user friendly dSLR!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first dSLR and it has converted me into an avid photographer. It takes great pictures in auto mode and is amazingly simple to use. Also has a handy no flash mode when you want to quickly disable the flash. Large, easy to read LCD screen has big icons for picture modes and doesn't drain the battery. The charge seems to last forever. I could not be happier with this camera. I have used the Nikon D70 and D80 fairly extensively and the Canon feels newer and faster. This is a great camera!Digital camera Review: The upgrade was worth it.

I upgraded from the orginal Canon Digital Rebel to the Rebel XSI and love it! It was definately worth the money!Digital camera Review: This DSLR Is Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm barely an amateur photographer, so I'm not going to get technical because I can't.
I own a film SLR, but haven't used it in about 5 years--ever since "quality" digital point-and-shoots flooded the market. I left the film and all of the manual tinkering behind for the ease of use. Now having this camera for a few days, I'm sorry I did that. My latest P&S is a Canon S3 IS, which has a nice zoom and takes good pics. It may never be used again.
The first thing I immediately noticed is the depth of field that the XSi produced. I forgot how good an SLR could be. Upload the pics to your computer and the clarity and color of the photos are just unbelievable. Night or indoor shooting is equally amazing. I never got good results when I disabled the flash on my P&S cameras, but I am shocked at how well the photos turn out in a low-light situation when not using the flash on this one.
The camera and lens does feel a bit cheap with all of the plastic. But, I plan on taking care of it, so I'm ok with that. The battery seems to have a lot of juice in it for hundreds of pics before recharging (2 hour charge). I don't see myself using the "live view" function too much. It doesn't really work like a P&S like it may seem. There is no memory card in the kit, which is fine with me since the cards included in most cameras are very low capacity and essentially useless.
I love this camera and wish I would've jumped on a DSLR sooner. Then again, maybe it was well worth the wait...

Still loving this camera in every way after about 3000 pics. Image quality still impresses me and battery life is also very good. Extremely satisfied.
