Canon Xsi Rebel - Amazingly User Friendly
I just received my Cannon SLR and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have read up on several reviews regarding this camera and I have to agree that the quality of the pictures are excellent. Canon is known for It's user friendliness and it hasn't failed yet.
Since this is my first SLR purchase, I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be overwhelmed with too many switches, buttons, etc. Even though I haven't read the manual yet, I have successfully experimented with various settings and I am impressed by the quality of the pictures thus far. I do plan on reading through the manual eventually to get more use out of the camera.
Last weekend, I was at an outing and I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of people using the Cannon XSi Rebel series. Obviously, this camera is a popular choice for a good reason. I do believe that the money spent on this camera was well worth it.
XSi Rebel - Great DSLR for the Price!
For an enthusiast, I'm very impressed with the image quality from this camera, especially for the price. I was even impressed with pics taken with the kit lens, but I primarily use a 28-135mm as an "everyday" lens (but much bigger and heavier than the kit lens). The kit lens was simply lacking in zoom capability for my typical shooting needs, but the kit is probably a better indoor lens. Still tweaking camera settings to get optimal results, but I'll probably have to tweak again after adding a polarizing filter. Overall it's lightweight (for a DSLR), fairly comfortable in-hand, and easy-to-learn menu system.
XSi Rebel - Great Entry Level Camera
I moved to my first DSLR from a Canon S5 IS. Great machine. Feels just about right in terms of weight, size and handling. I do miss the variety of functions the S5 had but I guess that comes at a price for better image quality, interchangeability of lenses and versatility of shooting.
I could have technically waited a month more for the T1i but I decided not to spend 200 bucks more for having a movie feature in my SLR. I am looking forward to buy some more lenses (50 mm prime to start with) and take some cool pics.
Overall, I am pretty satisfied with my purchase. The reason why it is not a 5 star purchase is that the kit, did not surprise me with its performance (which may be just because I am new to DSLRs).
It is sure the best purchase for an entry level feature packed DSLR.
