Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera - Black - 2756B001 user reviews

"Pros:Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera easy to use, nice picture quality, user friendly settings to break you out of the point and shot world into the SLR world with still some full manual controls

Cons:Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera not a great kit lens which is why the body only is good

Summary: buy the body only a nice lens or two and it will do you right "

"Pros: Good IQ with low noise at the low to mid ISOs (100-400). Spot metering that was absent on the 400D (it's about time!). Lightweight, but body feels solid. Very responsive startup, menus, playback, etc. SD storage, which is nicer than CF as SD cards and readers are ubiquitous, unlike CF. And, of course, the Canon lens selection, supporting both EF-S and EF lenses.
Cons: 12MP on a APS-C (1.6x crop) sensor causes a few issues. First off, high ISO performance is marginal at 800, and ISO 1600 is almost unusable. The smaller pixel size also causes lenses to become diffraction limited at f/8. Another thing I dislike is that the body isn't weather sealed--you'd need to get the next model up (D40, D50, etc.) with the magnesium alloy body for that. The aperture button is in an awkward place if shooting in full manual mode (though if using the battery grip and shooting in portrait mode, it's in a much more convenient position).
Other Thoughts: For the money, this is hard to beat, even with the consumer DSLR becoming much more crowded recently. Personally, I would have preferred if it was 10MP like the 400D, with just other improvements like lower noise at high ISOs, better responsiveness (definitely feels more responsive than the 400D), the spot metering, and SD storage. However, I think overall the upgrades over the 400D are worth it if trying to decide between the two--but not enough to justify buying a 450D if you already own the 400D. If you find yourself only shooting at low ISOs anyway, it's an even easier choice. Lastly, for those looking at lenses, you might be surprised by the EF-S line. While not bearing the same prestige as the EF "L" lenses, there are a few gems in the line up. The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro is VERY sharp, even wide open.

"I use Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera for pretty much everything. I'm an amateur hobbyist..As soon as it arrived, I automatically started testing it out. It was easy to navigate to where I needed to go..I love the HUGE display on the back. It has a hefty feel & weight too it. Its also great that it takes the smaller (SD) memory cards! The only complaint that I have is when its in 'auto' I can't use the back display to preview..

"Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera is a great camera. I had the 35mm Canon EOS and loved it. I was talked into getting the Canon G9 which is a great camera, but I really missed the SLR. If you are planning on taking family pictures, especially of your kids, this is the camera for you. You will never miss another shot due to delayed lens reflex. The camera is compatible with all my Canon lenses and so far the pictures have been great and I haven't missed a shot! I love this camera. It is not as big as my original 35mm so that is a plus, but it is small enough to carry with you without being inconvenient. It is light weight too. Excellent camera! You will not be disappointed (and for the photogs-it does shoot RAW)"

"I am having an absolute blast learning to use the auto focus alone in composing several variations of the same pic. Just amazing outcomes.
