5 out of 5 stars Great cam...   October 5, 2008
Brad E
I've had this cam for about 4 months now. It's great. Came from a Canon 20D, so though technically it's a downgrade, it's really a superior cam in terms of image quality and performance. I like the small size - the main motivation for not going with a 40D - I can shoot one-handed all day long doing street photography.

Most of the pix on my photoblog below were snapped with the XSi...

5 out of 5 stars What an upgrade for this price!!!   October 3, 2008

As a part-time professional photographer, this is a bargain of an upgrade even from the Canon Rebel Xti which is what I did! I thought my Xti was a great camera & it is but the Xsi is so much more! The increased image quality is worth the price alone. (See images below). Then when you add in the benefit of the improved & larger LCD, Highlight tone priority, excellent noise reduction, you have an exceptional value. Many pundits have listed some things as negatives that I feel are advantageous. Namely, the smaller size of the body seems to fit my hand very well & the light weight helps me carry it since I do a considerable amount of hiking & travel. Its easier for me to carry along with all the rest of my gear. I feel like it is a "BEST BUY" in my book. greenngold1@cox.net
