What a deal!! January 9, 2009

I am a relative newbie to the digital camera scene. I bought a canon Powershot 720 is from Amazon last May and I got hooked. I waited for the prices to come down on the Rebel XSI camera and ordered mine in late December from B&H Photo.
Wow! I am having a lot of fun with it! Easy, intuitive and great pics... even with the kit lens. I also tried it out with the canon 50mm f/1.8 and it was sharp both outdoors and in. With a fast lens you can capture some nice action shots. I have posted a few photos here at Amazon that I recently snapped on the beach at Port Aransas.
I have not tried all the features yet, e.g., the custom WB feature, but the ISO settings and exposure settings are easy to find and set. There is a custom menu option called 'My Menu' that you can create to keep your 5 favorite settings easily accessible.
It would be nice to be able to access the picture quality settings, such as the sharpness setting, using a button or at the top level of a menu, but at this price I am not going to complain!
I have taken over 350 high resolution JPGs so far without having to recharge the battery. The viewfinder is adequate - certainly better than a lot of other cameras I have used. Live view is still problematic in digital slrs, so don't expect what you find in a point and shoot. The LCD is nice, but not even close to the nice LCDs on the Nikon D90 and D300. However it is certainly adequate - even outside on a sunny winter day.
The WB does seem suspect indoors regardless of the setting - but that is a common fault of dslr cameras.
The 18-55 IS lens that comes with the kit is no slouch either. I definitely recommend getting the kit. In fact, the 2 lens kit is a great bargain right now at Bh & Adorama.

The only negative so far is a a single spot of dust on the sensor that won't come off with the camera's self-cleaning system. It appears in shots of the sky.

All in all this is one great camera and kit lens. At the price, it just can't be beat.
Highly recommended!

Awesome camera, but Amazon + UPS disappointing January 8, 2009

Camera responds well, focuses well and feels great. With just using the standard lens kit, I was able to see a huge difference than my previous camera (Canon S5 IS). The quality is amazing!

Yes, this review does criticize Amazon and UPS since this is where the camera came from.

The camera qualified for free 5-7 day shipping, but I paid for 2-3 day shipping because I wanted it on New Years Eve. It took 6 days to get here AFTER New Years Day. Shame on Amazon. I expected that from UPS, but not Amazon. Yes, it's both companies fault by not communicating. If the New Years holiday was a problem, then it should have been stated instead of me wasting money on shipping.

What can I say,

Great battery life
Great kit lens
Bright viewfinder
Light enough to pack everywhere

Canon Rebel xsi 12.2 MP January 8, 2009
T. Matlosz
This is an excellent camera. It is as easy to use as any point and shoot camera. It takes GREAT pictures. I was able to take great pictures on the first day I used it(Christmas)Once I read the manual and loaded the software I realized just how much more this camera can do, I am a beginer with a SLR camera and had several point and shoot cameras prior to the Rebel. This is a good camera for a beginer (ease of use) and great to grow into.
