Digital camera reviews of Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)
Digital camera Review: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Summary: 5 Stars
Having owned two Canon Rebels previously (SLR and DSLR) I find the XSi to follow in their footsteps quite nicely. Familiarity with an proven model helps when evaluating a newer version and I find the XSi to be just as versatile and easy to use with great results as my other Canons. I am very pleased with this latest addition.Digital camera Review: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)

Digital camera Review: Canon Does It Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two other Canon Cameras, the last one being the XTi. The larger screen alone makes it worth the upgrade to this XSi. However, the extra MP's are icing on the cake. This camera is very lightweight, well planned-buttons and functions, easy to grip and operate. A pleasure to use. I have several Canon IS lenses that work great with this body. The photographs are superb. I almost bought the newer T1i but now wonder why I would do that. No need really, the 12.2 MP's give you quality that would permit even a large poster-size photo (which I will most likely never need!). This is a wonderful camera. Highly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Canon Rebel xsi
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera is almost everything it is proclaimed to be. I am a little disappointed in the speed of the motor. Since I plan to use it mostly for outdoor photography my actual use of the camera has been limited due to the poor weather in the North East this winter. The ordering, processing and shipping procedures were efficient and timely through AMAZON.Digital camera Review: Canon XSi - Excellent value for money
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using 35mm cameras for over 30 years and had been using a number of Canon point and shoot cameras before making the transition to a digital SLR. Those of you who are familiar with the Canon menu systems on their point and shoot cameras will find it very easy to make the transition to the XSi - it uses the same menu based systems you have been using.
The decision to go with with Canon XSi was based on the assumption that the DSLRs are going to continue to get better and better over the next few years and rather than make a heavy investment in the camera it was better to buy a reasonably priced camera and plan to upgrade over time and use some of the cash that could have been spent on a camera to buy quality glass for the camera.
There are a number of reviews on the web that highlight the excellent quality of the image sensor on the XSi and they all suggest that the sensor is better than the stock lens on the camera. My suggestion is that don't buy the lens that comes with the camera, unless you want to sell it on EBay, and make the investment in lenses to go with the camera.
In terms of the shooting quality I have been using the camera for the past month and have been very impressed with the images taken. They are far superior to point and shoot images and are comparable to the 35mm that I have been used to.
For those of you with big hands the camera body is very small in the hand and you may want to consider buying the optional battery grip that comes with the camera to make it easier for the camera to fit in your hand. I am 6 foot tall and my pinky finger doesn't fit on to the grip because my hand is too big.
