5 out of 5 stars greatest camera i will ever own   August 30, 2008
Francisco J. Lara
awesome camera!! just awesome, its great in its point and shoot simplicity, and powerful in more complex creative modes. would recommend to anybody taking up digital photography beginners of course, there are more better models for pro's (expensive too) but for beginners its a great buy a must i would say.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for semi-professional photography!   August 27, 2008

My business as a graphic designer has required more and more product photography, so to keep up with demand and quality, I purchased the Canon XSi and have not been disappointed! I have only used it for still-shots, but the quality is outstanding, I get great close-ups and have plenty of photo options for the different types of shots I want to take. Excellent product!


5 out of 5 stars I Love This Camera   August 26, 2008

I have been searching for a good all around camera that will take great Portrait/Sport pictures and is very user friendly. I absolutely found it with the Canon Rebel XSi. I purchased it from Amazon at a great price along with the EF-S 18-55 IS lens which is a very good lens for the price. I will be looking to buy the Canon EF 70-200 F4L IS and the 50mm in the very neir future to complete my collection. There is nothing bad I can say about this camera. Great Job Canon!!!!!


5 out of 5 stars G-R-E-A-T Camera!!   August 26, 2008
David Sarazin (Duluth, MN USA)
I used an EOS Rebel film camera for years and finally moved to an DSLR when I couldn't get easy access to wet film processing. This camera is fabulous! It does everything the Rebel did and SOOOOOOO much more. I also think it is easier to use.
The first pictures I took were at our daughters wedding and the digital format made it easy to take really great pictures for them.
Canon has always been good for us, and this is the best product yet.

I used the following settings (1/200 sec, f/25, AWB cloudy, AI SERVO AF flash exp comp +2, user def 1 with +7 sharpness, +1 contrast, +2 saturation, +2 color tone, hi-ISO speed noise reduction on, highlight tone priority enabled, auto lighting optimizer enabled) with flash on and took pictures from 5PM to 7PM and I got the clearest resolution ever from a kit lens!!!!
