 I GOT A WINNER January 7, 2009
Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)
I have owned 35mm cameras since 1968. This is my 1st DSLR. Right out of the box I new I had a winner. It is light, comfortable to hold, well manufactured, and a pleasure to use. The controls are easy to learn. It has a wide variety of settings that should cover any situation. I will recommend this camera to anyone who asks me.
 Nice camera....I recommend this but.... January 6, 2009
I wanted to put a few words in review about my recent Amazon purchase of the Canon XSi. I am not a hardcore amateur and consider myself more interested in documenting the growth of my two daughters with quality photographs then I am about the techinical art of photography. Throwing it up and there, shooting, and having a reasonable outcome is my primary objective. I am also fully aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I certainly do not want to take anything away not from those people who do. I appreciate and respect beautiful photographic work. For my situation however, I looked at several different cameras in this price range and settled on Canon. Primarily because I had a Canon A1 for years and always thought highly of their cameras and lenses. I looked at the Olympus E520 and probably would have bought the D90 if I had wanted to spend that much money. I think the XSi was ultimately the best value. I placed my order through Amazon and eargerly awaited its delivery. I received it in time for Christmas and out of the box was able to figure out enough about the camera to get some great Christmas shots of my two girls. Once I came inside however...there were problems immediately. When operating in lighting environments where the flash was required the camera failed alsmost continually. This was manifested by Err 99 messsages in the viewfinder. This as maddening especially with all the nieces and nephews over for Christmas morning gift unwrapping. I finally had to abandon the the XSi and revert back to my wife's point and click. A dubiouos beginning to say the least. Later, a little reserach on the internet and I found that many other XSi customers had similar issues with this camera. There are various remedies posted on various websites but mine was to return the camera to Amazon for a replacement. This part of the experience was outstanding. I requested a replacement on Friday and my new XSi arrived the following Monday. Amazon did not wait for the return of the broken camera and paid for the price of return shipping as well. Out of the box I see now that my new camera works much better. There is slight pause when you fire off multiple frames under flash. The camera will say BUSY but will not lock as the other one did and this passes in maybe 2 seconds. All in all..I am happy with the experience and was happy that Amazon did such a good job getting a working camera to me. Oh..one more thing....I bought the "Dummies Guide to the Canon XSi" ....that is a very nice companion to the purchase of this camera and possibly the most beautiful "Dummies Guide to ...." that I have ever seen.
Love this Camera! January 6, 2009

Bought this camera as a Xmas present for my wife. We are very happy with the product. Takes excellent photos and the shutter speed is outstanding. We are no longer missing the perfect shots of the kids because of the focus delay. I highly recommend this camera.
Fabulous January 6, 2009
I still have my 36mm Canon Rebel and have been told by numerous people that it is in perfect conditon. My new Canon Rebel is absolutely step up. I know I have made the "right" decison.
couldn't be happier January 6, 2009
I love this camera. I have never owned an SLR camera and this one is so easy to use. I can't wait to figure out all the features and practice taking pictures.
