Digital camera reviews of Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)
Digital camera Review: Absolutely Amazing Camera !!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am by no means new to photography. I recently made the switch from Nikon DSLR's D200, D300. Why did I switch to Canon. Because I find their prime lens to be much more affordable than Nikon, and customer reviews on the prime lens are outstanding. Even with the newly released Nikon D700, I decided to get the Canon XSI for a backup camera until Canon releases their new pro DSLR in the near future. The Canon XSI takes amazing pictures, is user friendly, and with the 2 prime lens that I already have; the results have been exceptional. I could not be happier. I looked at this camera for months before deciding to get it. Thanks to Amazon for their great prices and fast delivery on this item. Amazon is by far very competitive with prices. Thanks again, Amazon.Digital camera Review: Amazon was a delight to deal with
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this camera body, a lens hood and a memory card from Amazon. I received everything in perfect condition, with no problems and on time. I was able to track each item online and the camera and memory card arrived a week ahead of schedule (even using the free, but slow, free delivery) and the hood arrived right on the scheduled day. Also, Amazon had the best prices, no sales tax and free delivery. You can save more than a few bucks if you're willing to wait a few days.Digital camera Review: Better than XT, XTi but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my 4th D-SLR, I love it, same ease of use (or maybe better as now the menus and buttons make more sense to me), I like some of the new features, however the live view is really, really bad to the point I don't use it unless I can't use the viewfinder. The 3" screen is gorgeous, make sure to get a film cover for it as it can scratch easily. Some pixelation/noise at 400 ISO.Digital camera Review: Brilliant for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't give this camera 5 stars but that's only because a couple of personal gripes that might not even bother another buyer.
My problems just stem from the fact that I owned the first digital rebel (300D) and I am used to a bigger bulkier body.
That was a issue with me but it's something easily overcome with some use.
Also, I thought the shutter is a little loud but again, it's not something that is a real issue with performance.
The things I am impressed with so far, is the large screen and the easy to see settings. would be good for people with issues seeing the small LCD screens on the other models.
the fast 3.5 fps was a factor I considered before purchase, my 300D, had 2.3fps and only for 4 shots. This model can shoot nearly endlessly at 3.5 fps, great for action/sports shots.
Ease of use is pretty good for the intermediate user, I found with a brief look at the manual I could use it up to the standard of my old camera. there is much more I can find but at least I can operate to a satisfactory level for now.
Live View is something I don't have an interest right now but I see advantages in this with tripod landscapes and group or portraits.
Over all I am very happy with the purchase and recommend this camera.
Digital camera Review: Camera good - software bad
Summary: 3 Stars
My wife has used a Canon SLR for a number of years, so a Canon EOS was the logical choice when purchasing a digital camera as it uses the same lens.
The Camera takes excellent photos and operates very similarly to the film model, only better in many ways.
I would have rated it five stars, but...
So far, it's been impossible to transfer images from the camera to the computer. We managed to transfer one, but that was it. Other images simply will not transfer. The software doesn't recognize, and refuses to connect to, the camera. Even after reloading the software and trying on a different computer. The Canon help line was absolutely no help! NONE!!! They insist it must be a "computer problem" as "no one else has ever had this problem".
Consequently, we must take the memory card to the in-store developer-kiosk and transfer images there, which requires two trips.
The camera is great and does everything she wanted, but the software and the Canon help desk are worthless!
