Rebel XSi – Excellent Quality and Price
I waited for months debating on whether to go ahead and buy the Canon 40D or wait for the new Rebel XSi. I am thrilled that I waited in the Rebel XSi. The quality is excellent! I bought the XSi with 18-55mm IS lens. The lens is a good walk around lens but also purchased the 50mm 1.8 and Sigma 70-300mm zoom. I tend to leave the Sigma more than anyone else.
The Rebel XSi has almost all the features of the 40D at a fraction of the cost. It's many features are definitely well above the XTi and it's worth the upgrade. The 3 "LCD screen is ideal for live view shooting or reviewing. The buttons are placed large and is very easy to navigate.
The body itself is not as heavy as the 40d, but does not feel cheap and weak. It is a big step from my Canon S3 IS, however, I still love the power of the camera and all that too.
I used the camera in many situations and places and in total. Of course, as with most, it does very well outdoors in the light. Also exceeded my expectations indoors in low light. Even when I had to hit the ISO 800 to 1600, performed beautifully and there is little perceptible noise. With my old camera was never able to use high ISO settings because they were too noisy to fix with post processing. With the Rebel XSi, there is little or no work required further processing in high ISO shots. It's wonderful for low light situations when you do not want the deer in the headlights look flash!
However, the Rebel XSi was worth waiting and saving. The Rebel XSi is a fraction of the cost of the 40D and still have almost, if not all the advantages of the 40D. I definitely recommend anyone debate between the two to go ahead and go with the Rebel XSi body and save your money for good lenses.
Rebel XSi – Honestly, I hate it
I hate this camera because it explains what I am a bad photographer. Many of my photographs are "more or less" at this time and marginally better than my point and shoot. Spend a little time to lose the autofocus and manual controls yielded images that have exceeded my old Nikon 7MP when it comes to moving objects, it was my first challenge. I am concerned with qualifying for the 50,000 images shot since I've already shot 800 images in just the first 20 days of owning this camera (you can shoot a lot in a sporting event), but the price was unbeatable with a lens material decent, versatile.
I am realizing the limitations of the lens and what separates the low from the top, but this camera is a learning experience for any person who does not actually shoot at a high level. You are required to invest the time to get great pictures out. You will be disappointed as I get the same way a high-definition television shows the limitations of standard cable. But look at it this way – once you start learning about the fundamentals, example, the relationship of ISO to open the shutter speed and mode setting of priority, so you're on your way to images that are far superior to their point and shoot and difficult to go back.
Apparently, not all the fine adjustments of the 40D, or the rating of the shutter 100K but I'm not sure it matters at this price. If you want a sub-$ 800 SLR with a lens of decent material, there is no better camera, and I was hoping that the Nikon D60 would be my choice. Not so. Learn all the options outlined are still made me realize now that this camera has features far more important than competition All this requires an investment on the picture to get great pictures. It's a crime to think with this camera, including the use of self-configuration.
