Review Summary

I bought this (last one...marked down) for my wife to use, mostly around the homestead. We have nice sunsets/rises on a regular basis and her p&s doesn't do them justice. I bought this and 18-200mm lens and they work well. I've yet to try my better '7D approved glass' on it but it is on my list to do. I'm thinking of a travel body with a 2/3 lens kit for when the whole nine yards isn't needed. We'll see...

Perfect for everyday photos and the more specialized photos that I take , such as sports and action. I would definitely recommend this to any photo enthusiast. Great product for a great price!

My first SLR was a Canon F-1 in 1972, and I've had many since. I looked long and hard for a new one, and finally settled on the XSi. I dont do videos or make print larger than 13"x19", so the XSi fits the bill. I wish it had an articulated screen like my G11, and the body could be a little larger. That said, not much else to nit pick about. A few years ago, I would have bought a full frame model, but I'm now retired, so this one fits my needs. For the money, it can't be beat. I"m giving it five stars based on it's quality verses the price.

I needed a camera that I could hand to an inexperienced employee and get consistent photos of our raft trips without spending a bundle. Got it!

My SLR lenses work perfectly with it. I appreciate that Canon has kept this camera's icons, symbols, control positions the same as my old camera; short learning curve. The LCD screen is amazingly big. This is my 6th Canon camera - what can I say? LOVE IT.

I take a lot of pictures of my son playing college baseball. The pictures are clear and crisp. I am using my 28-200 Tamron lense that I had on my 35mm camera and it works great. I can even take pictures behind the net or fence and not get the fence in the pictures.
