This camera is fantastic! I had the Canon Digital Rebel XT before and really enjoyed the functionality and ease of use. However, this new Rebel takes the line to whole new levels! It is very easy to access the controls and shoot manually, the auto-focus is better than before, the picture can be blown up to (roughly) poster size without losing quality, the new battery lasts longer, and the new memory card format allows for faster usage. Oh yeah, and if you take photos outside alot like I do, the auto dust cleaning sensor is a godsend. No dots on the photos!

5 out of 5 stars Canon Rebel XSi   October 9, 2008

I've had this camera a couple of weeks now and it is super nice. I also own one of the digital elf cameras and it is a great camera as well. The Rebel XSi lets you have as much control or as little as you desire. It has been easy to learn how to use and takes awesome photos. The 18-55mm USM IS kit lense by Canon is lightweight, and takes a second to focus. I also bought the Canon 28-105mm USM II lense and am very satisfied.

If you're trying to decide between a Sony Alpha or a Canon Rebel, I suggest going to a store where you can hold both cameras and then buy it from Amazon. The Canon feels and looks like a more durable and higher quality camera.

I am an absolute amateur photographer and not necessarily a good one but I wanted a new and better camera to help me take better photos. After much research and consult with friends I chose the XSI. Within 30 minutes I was shooting like a pro and my photos came out GREAT. I can't wait to learn more and continue to get great shots of my family.

What can I say, the camera is wonderful. This is my first D-SLR and their are so may capabilities with this camera. I continue to learn so much. Very quick and responsive. Only side thought, is that you must purchase a extreme III sd card to handle the speed of the camera. Must have consumer camera.
