 Mother of two finds a serious upgrade to the point and shoot! Fabulous and Fast July 23, 2008
M. Hammer (Irving, TX)
After taking thousands of pics of my two year old and my new born with my HP point and shoot, I finally gave up. None of the pictures were of the 'moment' or 'expression' I was trying to capture. I was always taking pictures of their backs or their looking away or xxx. Anything but what I wanted. Then the quality of the pictures were never quite right unless I took the picture in full blown day light.
Finally decided to splurge. After extensive research on the Canon XTi vs the Nikon, I ultimately opted for the Canon. I bought it along with the portrait EF 50mm that seems to be highly rated by many. I later purchased the EF 28-105mm. Upon receiving the camera, I went to town taking pics of my little ones. What I found:
Pros:
- Fast. Very fast. Wow. I've yet to miss a shot.
- Outstanding pics. Pics with the EF28-105 good. Pics with the EF 50mm, outstanding. Many look like they were taken by a pro. Trust me. I am no pro. I'm a working mom looking for some good pics to put on their website and send to Grandma and Grandpa. On average, with my point and shoot, I'd get 1 out 20 that were worthy of that. Now, I average 5-6 out of 10 at a higher bar of course.
- Versitile. I can play around with different settings and Canon lenses. Fun but expensive.
- Battery charges fast. Battery life outstanding. I honestly don't think I've had to charge the batteries but 2-3 times since I bought it five months ago and have taken thousands of pics.
- The 4GB SD card keeps more pics than I could ever want.
Cons.
If you are a working kind of mom like I am and just want an awesome camera to take awesome pics, you've found it. However, there is one big downside: it's bigger...way bigger than a point and shoot. It's not as easy to throw in your purse and go out for a splash day. I have found myself leaving it behind because I just didn't want to lug it along with the diaper bag, a toddler and an infant...car seat, snacks, toys, bottles, wipes...etc. The bag is heavy enough. But, those pics are priceless as far as I am concerned and will sacrifice more often than not and find myself glad for having done so.
LENSES. This took me longer to figure out than which camera to buy. I searched for a month before I committed. Given the affordability of the 50mm and its reviews, I opted to do without the kit lens.
Admittedly, I regretted it at first. What!? No zoom. As you can tell, I'm a serious amatuer and didn't know what I was getting into. But, despite the one time I wanted to take a group pic that required me to step clear to the other side of the house to get them in, 99% of the time, I'm trying to get a good close up of my kids...many pics by default at this age tend to be close ups. Then, there is a subtle difference between the pictures I have taken with this lens and the 28-105--crisper, cleaner and outright beautiful color.
The 28-105 is actually not bad especially if you use it with the hood. The zoom is about what I figure I will need at ball games and ballerina recitals when I don't have to worry about lugging a diaper bag and keeping after a climbing/crawling baby. For the price, I figure it's doable.
There you have it, Amazon shopping Moms. I hope this Review was helpful. I found many of the reviews targeting semi-pros so it took a while to sift through it all!

I purchases what I thought to be a "new" camera body. Upon receipt of the package and opening it, it was NOT new, but recently returned to amazon and still had the receipt from the previous purchaser. I can only hope that it was returned to some reason other than it was defective.
Canon XTI - Great Camera July 17, 2008
Lady of Winterfell (Tucson, AZ)
I have owned this camera for about a month now, and it is my first digital SLR. I used to have a Canon film SLR, and a point and shoot as well, and loved them both. So when I decided to get an SLR, Canon was the only choice for me, and I was not disappointed.
This is an excellent camera. It's easy to use, and the pictures are great. The software that comes with the camera is actually pretty good, and I have been quite happy with it so far. I really would recommend this camera to anyone looking into the digital SLR market. There have been documented exposure problems by other users, but I have not noticed anything wrong with the exposure.
I really can't recommend this camera enough.
WOW! What a picture Quality July 15, 2008
DM (MD USA)
By the time, I am writing this review, I have captured more than 10K pictures on this lovely camera. It takes superb pictures. The picture quality is stunning. I highly recommend buying Canon external Flash for better indoor shoots and Canon EF 70-200mm F4L USM lens for stunning pictures. Value for money and once you get used to DSLR, its hard moving back to point and shoot.
Great camera.
