Great introductory DSLR
This was my first SLR since converting to digital. I previously had a 35mm Canon Rebel that I loved although it was rather basic and old, then I had a Canon Powershot which was good. I was hesitant to switch to a digital SLR because I thought the Powershot was all that I would ever need; after all my old Rebel film camera was lacking in features and took average shots - so a point-and-shoot digital was better. Why would I need anything more than a point-and-shoot?
I was so wrong. The Canon Rebel XSi is an awesome camera, loaded with useful features that are easy to figure out. The Rebel line has come a long way in innovation since going digital, and the control and quality of a DSLR cannot be touched with a point-and-shoot. I still like my point-and-shoot because I can keep it in my pocket for easy traveling; but the XSi is my main camera.
If you are new to digital SLRs, or new to SLRs, or new to photography; or upgrading from a point-and-shoot -- this is the camera for you. If you have the extra money for the T1i, it's a little better with video; but the XSi is still great for photography.
Check out the manual by Ben Long for a great set of instructions on how to use this camera. It took me about a month of steady shooting to really understand it, but now it's like second nature. I highly recommend this camera.

Love it!!!!
I purchased this camera for my food blog [...]. The quality of food photos increased dramatically compared to my old camera. This camera is very easy to use as a newbie but can also be used and enjoyed by more advanced photographers. Amazon has a good selection of lenses and flash attachments. I love it!!!

Canon rebel XSi good camera, good value.
Canon Sxi is a first rate value. It does everything it should. It is for very advanced point and shoot picture taker who always forgets to charge the settings before being pushed into taking the shot now. It is built for the person who knows how to take a picture but opportunties are cluttered with the realities that nobody wants to particpate in his/her picture taking.
Now knowing what I know, I would buy it in a minute. It is an electronic masterpiece but a hardheaded journey man's tool. A pleasure to handle in picture taking. I know there are better lens, better and more advanced electonic but for a dope like me it is just fine. I have six camera in the drawer, time and technology has passed them bye. This may not be cutting edge but is sharp enough for my use.

GREAT digital camera - still holds up well against newer models
The XSi is a great digital body, and should probably be bought that way (i.e., without a lens), so that you can save the money you would have spent on a barely-adequate kit lens to put towards something far better, such as the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens. While this Rebel has been superceded by the newer Canon EOS Rebel T1i, this model still provides excellent bang for the buck, and even exceeds the performance of the T1i in some respects.
Others have written at length and in great detail about the features and performance of this camera, so I'll just touch on a few highlights and some important distinctions between this and the newer model, the T1i. This model uses the same size digital sensor (APS-C) with fewer megapixels than the newer body. This fact, together with the less agressive noise-reduction implemented by the older DIGIC III processor in this camera, means that the XSi can provide lower noise in lower-light situations than the T1i, while still providing more than enough pixels to print even cropped sections of your photos up to 11x14.
By foregoing the video recording mode, DIGIC IV processor and high-resolution screen found on the T1i, the XSi body leaves more room in your budget for some important accessories, such as the 17-55 f/2.8 lens mentioned above, and one of the must-have Speedlite flashes, such as the top-of-the-line Canon Speedlite 580EX II or the still-very-much-worth-having Canon Speedlite 430EX II.
Basically, if you want a compact digital camera body that accepts EF-S lenses and don't want to blow your whole budget before you even get to buy a lens or a flash, the XSi is right in the sweet spot of great performance for a reasonable price.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
