From Point and Shoot to SLR September 4, 2008

I just received my Canon Rebel XSI after graduating from two Canon point and shoot models. It is quite a step for someone who likes to take radom family shots without any fussing with camera settings. I was impressed after reading the other reviews on this camera as it does allow a fully automatic option similar to the simplier line of cameras.
After experimenting with this camera for a couple of days, I have taken the leap and tried to manual shots using various settings. So far, it seems to be an easy camera to use in both manual and full auto settings.
I purchased the semi hard case to protect it while it is hanging from the neck strap which comes with the camera. I am now considering the purchase of a macro lens to take closeups of my new grand daughter. The kit lens that come with the camera does have the flexibility of zooming and image stabilization which would not be allowed with the new micro lens. I feel that after I get more used to the manual camera settings and how best to utilize them without a lot of hesitation, I will purchase the macro lens.
So far I can say after only two days of owning and playing around with this camera, I am very pleased with my decision. I almost purchased the XTI model and now am glad I spent only about $100 more to upgrade to the XSI as it has SD memory card, image stabilization and is 12 megapixal along with the 3" LCD display.
Awesome! September 3, 2008

Buy the kit with EF-S 18-55mm IS lens instead. The new 18-55mm IS lens is a gem and the kit only costs $60 more. This lens is much improved from the last generation and is even optically better than the Canon 17-85mm IS lens that costs many times more. Even if you decide that the kit lens is not for you, you can resell it for much more than $60.
So why only four stars? Well, It seems that the latest Canon digital SLRs have a little bit of problem with dead pixels. Mine developed one after a few hundred of shots. Given that there are 12 million pixels, one dead pixel is very hard to see unless you really zoom it in. I mean this is like locating one red-head person from the Tokyo population. Nonetheless, it is annoying when you know that there is a dead pixel. Fortunately, Canon's manual sensor cleaning function also has a firmware program to detect and mask the deal pixels with information copied from an adjacent pixel. You just have to turn the camera into the manual sensor cleaning mode for enough time (30-60 seconds) for the program to checkout the whole pixel map. It fixed my dead pixel problem like a charm. That is why, only one star is taken away.
