Canon EOS Rebel XSi SLR Camera Body Kit - Black - with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilizer Lens - Refurbished

2011-08-29T21:00:00

This was my first DSLR, and I love it. It's perfect for somebody who's just venturing into serious digital photography. I've had it for over a year now, and it's held up beautifully (I bought it refurbished!), no problems whatsoever. I love the big LCD screen, and the body is relatively light. Image quality could be better, but like I said, great for a starter camera.

This is a great camera for someone who is getting into photography as a serious hobby, but who does not want to spend a ton of money.

This camera was all that I was looking for. The size, feel, and features made it a no-brainer purchase for me.

I did a lot or research before I decided this was the right camera for me. When I saw that the refurbished model (w/ warranty) was selling for the same price as used on [...]I jumped on it. It [...] looks perfectly brand new. I have already taken around 300 pictures and they come out beautifully! Highly recommend this camera[...]

Bought this for my wife to use on a recent vacation to Israel. She has always struggled with blurred images from pressing shutter too hard and missed shots from shutter lag. This camera solved both problems! She uses mostly 'full auto' setting, but is gradually learning to use creative settings. She loves it and the vacation pictures turned out great!

I'm pretty new to the DSLR world, but my experience with this camera has been great so far. It's pretty easy to use. And I'm very satisfied with the quality of the product. Refurbished works just like new!

I do alot of landscape photography and this camera is light, easy to learn and is able to produce some really great pic's. the more I learn the better I am able to get the camera to perform. I love it and highly recommend for somone starting out or someone who don't want to spend a ton!

I purchased the Canon Rebel XSi specifically for astrophotography, either as a piggyback on a telescope tripod, or though the scope itself. My decision to purchase this camera was made after viewing the deep sky photos of a number of different people, all showing amazing renderings of the wondrous night sky. I did specifically ahve this altered for deep sky photography by Gary Honis. Another advantage to this camera is that I can simply either add the X-Nite CC1 screw in filter, or adjust the camera's white balance, and the camera returns to being just like a regular camera and can be used for all other photographs. The wonderful sharp photos, ease of use, easys ee LCD screen, that it was alertable for deep sky photography, yet easily put back into action as a regular camera, made the Canon Rebel XSi camera my first choice. That it could also use a wireless remote control shutter release switch, so I could do my work standing back from the scope, sealed the deal!

Can't say anything bad about this camera. The refurb was worth the savings too. There is no way to tell its not brand new.

This camera is one of the most enjoyable cameras I have ever used and i have been using Canon cameras for years. Great for the beginner and a lot of advanced features to keep the more exspericened photographer intrested.

I have been wanting to purchase an upgrade/replacement for my older camera, but with the recent addition of our daughter to our family, I was also constrained by my budget. After shooting around with several different Canon EOS models and thoroughly researching my options, I opted for the Rebel XSi, which best fit my needs. After reading all of the reviews regarding the refurbished Canon cameras, I chose to purchase a refurbished body as well (which allowed me to also get an additional lens without going too far over budget). I could not be happier with this camera - everything functions as it should, the quality of the shots are great, and there is absolutely no cosmetic damage (scratches, dings, etc.) to the camera or stock lens at all. The XSi itself performs admirably in a variety of shooting conditions, when it is properly set up for the specific condition at hand. I have seen several poor reviews of the XSi, but have not encountered any problems yet. In order to get the most from this (or any!) camera, you must take the time to learn what functions this camera offers, as well as how they affect the picture outcome and how to manipulate these functions for your specific shot and/or conditions. This camera offers a great deal of control, and I am very pleased with my purchase. [...] excellent products, and I could not be happier!

Is literally like new with 'refurbished' stickers on bottom of camera & lens. Basic & advanced features. Purchased for one of my sons to explore photography together. For my use this would have been just as good as my T2i (don't use it for video). Money saved would have gone towards good wide angle & telephoto lens. Recommend Tamrac N-5053 neck strap and/or a wrist strap (Hakuba, Opteka, CowboyStudio or ?)

I've had the camera for a month now and have used it mostly for landscape photos. I'm still getting familiar with how it all works and am very pleased with the results so far.

Within a week, I was shooting fairly decent shots. A bit of a learning curve vs. my point & shoot Canon Powershot. My preferred settings are the AV setting. I prefer it over the Macro setting, I crop instead of using macro. This camera takes great shots with indirect light. Morning and early afternoons offer the best light. I shoot indoors, and love the results! Higher ISO settings with less light later in early evening didn't work as well. Colors are very good, you can fine tune using the menu/photo style setting. I wish there were less buttons to push to access the color setting. It's the only streamlining this camera needs. Otherwise, I shoot in the 4Mb range, and get decent crisp photos for use on my website. I sell yarn and fibers, and am impressed with the photos so far! Overall, the camera was a savvy purchase being refurbished, I saved alot.

good camera, easy to use, easy to learn about, nice photos. Lens was ok, but I got a f1.8 right away for general use. I would have prefered the 1.8 to the wide angle that comes with this body. A nice telephoto would have been a second choice, the wide angle being last on my list. Sometinmes this body has trouble focusing in extermely low light situations.

Very good, if you are buying your first DSLR, and the lower 1000D will be too short for you.

So far I love this camera. I've been shooting Canon for over 35 years in 35mm. Decided to go digital and found this to be a great place to start.

This is an amazing camera. If you're debating between this one or the XS like I was, go with the XSi you wont regret it. Adorama has great prices[...]. Also, you can't even tell the camera or lens are refurbs unless you look at the sticker on the bottom. Very pleased with my purchase.

I like the camera. It's my second XSi so that should say something. Excellent price and warranty. My copy has minor scuff marks on the bottom and on the screen. It's a refurb so obviously it's been used before but everything checks out fine.

[...]Excellent job of refurbishing the camera; without the tab on the bottom, it could be mistaken for new. I love the big display and its functions when the menu is not on display - it gives me an instant look at all the settings without having to look through the viewfinder. I like the bulb setting on the camera; I've been an ambient light type of photographer since my Minolta SRT-101 in the early 70s.The packaged Canon software makes everything easier. Viewing and downloading is a snap - identify the folder where you want the images to go and each subsequent download goes to the same spot into a folder automatically labeled for that day. I love it.The XSi also permits RAW+jpg or RAW only shooting modes recorded in the Canon CR2 format...[...] the quality of the product is most excellent -> (should I add "dude" as well ... grin)I'm a big fan ...Not a single complaint about[...] the product...

I haven't had this camera long but so far I love it. I was hesitant to buy a refurbished camera but after reading other reviews I went for it. I'm glad I did. The camera looks brand new.
