Digital camera Review: After a Year.........
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera almost a year ago and it has been great! This is my first SLR, always had a point and shoot and it has served me well with over 2500 pictures taken. Not all of them have been great but I suppose that is me, not the camera! by the way I used a Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens instead of the kit lens and highly recommend it also.......Digital camera Review: Almost usable
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for this product. Something I could finally afford and use to improve my limited skill set. But the first 3 pictures I took were completely out of focus using AF. When compared to my Kodak shot of the same scene, they were a dismal failure. This camera has a problem so back it goes.Digital camera Review: Amazed Simply

I'm a professional photographer. I shoot editorials and advertising. I own a couple Canon 1Ds Mark 3. That being said, I wanted a small compact camera to take around with me. I first purchased a Sigma DP-1, but found it limiting and too slow. I sold it and decided to purchase the Canon 450D (XSi). And I am simply amazed at the functionality and speedy feel of the camera. Yes, it's not as small as a DP-1, but compared to a 1Ds Mark 3, it's tiny. Every feature of this camera is well thought out and they loaded it with much current technology as possible. I can't think of a single thing to complain about. I see people complaining about the buffer, but honestly if you NEED high buffer on RAW shooting then take the plunge and buy a 1D or 1Ds.
It's not a professional grade camera by functionality and build. But the image quality is on par. sRAW on a 1Ds Mark 3 is precisely the same as this camera MP size. I would feel very comfortable with the image quality of this camera to do a editorial shoot (non-sport) with it. But of course, the client always wants to see the big expensive camera, since they're paying you. :)
Digital camera Review: Amazing Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I made the jump from a point and shoot to an SLR. I wanted something where I could take pictures at car races and the like that is just beyond the point and shoot range. I'm not a pro and don't have the budget or the justification for that kind of equipment but I like quality pictures and wanted to get the biggest bang for my buck. I researched everything out there and settled on the Rebel XSi. At 12 MP, the photos can be blown up to poster size and not look pixelated. I'm happy with an 8x10 glossy so that ought to do.
Out of the box, it was a little confusing until I set down with the camera and the book. In short order, I was taking pictures...No, I was creating art. Man, what a difference from the point and shoot! This thing takes unbelieveable pictures. The detail is fantastic. There is no doubt in my mind I made the right camera choice. The camera is advanced enough for a pro but has auto setting so it becomes a fancy point and shoot with the bonus of vivid, sharp, detailed photos.
I really don't have anything negative to say about the camera. Any time something didn't work right, I found it to be "operator error". As I am still learning, when the shot really matters I put it in a program mode and it works every time. Other times, I find myself playing with the settings and coming up with some interesting stuff. When it doesn't work, hey, it's digital...delete it!
Digital camera Review: Amazing Camera!

I had a Kodak P880 for 2 years (do NOT order that camera). It never worked properly. I fought with it and struggled and tried to take photos of my family that I usually wound up hating. I finally ordered this Canon. Wow. It is so different than my Kodak. Most of the pictures that I take don't require any editing, and the camera is so smarter than me that it's ridiculous. Now if I can figure out how to use the telephoto lens I bought with it, I'll be all set!
