Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XSi SLR Camera/ Lens Kit Black with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, 2 GB SD Memory Card, Spare LP-E5 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, Camera Case:
I love this camera!! I have small hands (5 1/2-6 womens ring size), and find I can hold the camera with ease and able to push all the buttons, bells and whistles.
I would have given it 5 stars except for the lens that came with it. Don't get me wrong its a great lens, the IS is great, and it takes nice macro shots, but feel its a bit limited for my style. I would recommend the lens for point and shoot outings, and the occasional "hey thats cool" macro shot. If you are looking for more versatility in a lens go for the 50mm f/1.8, 50-250mm IS or the 70-300mm IS lenses by Canon (all are sold at Adorama) =)
The booklet that came with the camera is easy to understand, and the software had no kinks during install.
I was lucky enough to the combo deal with the extra battery, SD card and the bag.
The bag is roomy, and sturdy and has enough room for camera and 2 maybe 3 reg lenses. Lots of pockets for your misc stuff, and I love the mesh water bottle holders on the sides for those long hot days. SD card was a name brand, formatted to camera just fine.
The shots I did take with the lens kit came out beautifully, colors were bright (although a few had some "noise" in them, but that was my error) and images were sharp.
What can I say if your looking to upgrade from a point and shot or wanting to get into photography but don't want to spend the 2-3 grand like the big boys, I highly recommend this camera!!!
