5 out of 5 stars Love it!!!!!   December 1, 2008

I got this camera the day before Halloween, about 3 days before I expected it. I started using it right away. It is wonderful! I use it EVERYDAY. I have the original film Rebel from the early 90's. This one is even easier to use. Perfect for a beginner or a not-so-beginner, like me. I've had friends who had trouble with the Nikon DSLR - they have all returned theirs - and are now considering the Rebel. Everyone tries my camera and loves it. No regrets on this buy.

I use a Sony and Nikon digital cameras, as well as the Canon. The Canon takes wonderful photos, but using the Canon software is cumbersome. it will not work with my HP desktop, but will with my laptop. However, I do not like the Canon software ease of opoeration. If I knew the difficulty of using it, prior to purchase, it would have seriously influenced my non-purchase of this camera.

This is our first DSLR. We took time to investigate the top brands and models. In the end we came to decide on the Xsi and we have not regretted it. It has been a great camera and we are very pleased with the ease of use and the flexibility the camera allows.


5 out of 5 stars upgraded from S5Is to XSI   November 29, 2008
Rick Allen (Lander, WY United States)
The upgrade from Canon S5Is to Canon XSI was very easy. Setup and Menu easy to change. Pictures from XSI are very good and it allows a great deal more creative freedom. I added a Canon 55-255 zoom and a battery grip. For those wanting to move up to a DSLR this is a great combo.
