Canon EOS Rebel XSi user reviews (with 18-55mm lens, Black)

Pros Quick focus, great color, Love the IS

Cons Cheap plastic body. Hope I never drop it..

Summary After I purchased this camera, I sold my Sony A350, DSC-F717, and my Rebel XTI .

It's a great camera Buy one... You will love it..

Pros Great Images

Cons None for a beginner like me

Summary I would highly reccomend this camera mostly because of the great pictures it takes. CNET has rated this as a 7.8 on a 1-10 scale, but they gave the XTI a 7.8 rating also while the XSI's video review seemed to say that it was better than the XTI. So it appears to me that they should have rated it higher than a 7.8. Anyway, I believe I have a great camera, and I don't think you can go wrong with Canon.

Pros Easy to use, awesome image quality, light, and more!

Cons I am now $900 poorer

Summary This is my first dSLR, but I have used P&S cameras before. I really like it, just take a bit of learning about proper exposure, and most of my pictures come out really good!

Pros Everything! Love this camera and want to carry it everywhere.

Cons The body seems a little flimsy.

Summary I carried this camera around for six hours today, taking photos for a school event (It isn't the first time I have used it though). The Canon Rebel XSi is quiet and subtle in a classroom and doesn't disturb anyone but whoever is immediately next to you. I get all the shots I needed plus some extras when I got bored (;
It's a great dSLR, especially for a beginner. Although when transitioning from a point-and-shoot, it may be a little tedious to not be able to use the screen and have to look through the viewfinder to get that one of a kind shot.
Overall I love this camera and am planning on getting my own. It's a great camera and a reasonable price.
