 Love the camera......... very fast shipping July 6, 2008
In short, I read reviews on this camera and found everything to be true. My wife loves the camera. I shopped for over a month at online camera retailers and found Amazon to have the best deal. Shipping was a breeze as well, I recived it before i was suppose to. Would recommend to others and would definetly buy again.
I love my new camera! July 5, 2008
For quite some time I was wanting to get a digital SLR camera, because I was sick and tired of the shutter lag that regular digital cameras have. Though I was happy with the pictures my Konica Minolta Dimage Z10 made - especially outdoors, I dreaded to make pictures indoors or trying to capture moving objects on picture (now you see me, now you don't).
So I was contemplating for month which digital SLR I wanted and needed. Since this is my first camera of this kind and I'm merely a hobby fotographer, I didn't want to shell out several grands. But I wanted something that had enough "oomph" to it to justify the price tag. So I looked into the Canon Rebel XTi, Nikon D40, Olympus E30 and Olympus E50. The thing I didn't like about the Olympus was the fact, that it seems that I had to buy Olympus picture cards and they are kinda pricy.
So I went back and forth between the Canon Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40. Then I looked into the XSi and read the repords on amazon.com and other sites, compared both Canon cameras side by side. After a week or two I finally decided to spend a bit more but have a few more extras with my camera.
And I had a lot of fun in the last few days with this camera. I can take pictures with it, that come out clear and vivid even in lower light indoors. I would have had smudgy blurrs with my other camera under the same condition. Right now I am only using the Canon lens EF 50 f/1.8 II for it's higher sensitivity to light, but wait until I go on vacation to Northern Germany in 2 weeks and I will try out the lens that came with the camera. Can't hardly wait!
I have had no problems figuring out the functions on the camera so far, but then again I used to own a manual SLR years ago. But if you are new to SLR fotography enirely I would say take the manual and your camera and just shoot pictures in different settings and modes and learn by trying. Don't be intimidated by all the lights and options and wheels and buttons!
In a nutshell: So far I haven't regreded my desicion to buy this camera!
 Comparison: 400D v 450D v D60 v E420 July 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This review is strictly comparison of image quality of these four SLRs, I am completely leaving out ergonomics, features, size of LCD etc.
After shooting 100s of shots and pixel peeping images of identical scenes.
Color reproduction:
1st: Nikon D60
2nd: Canon XTi and Canon XSi
4th: Olympus E420
D60 has sliglty more vibrant and punchier colors than the Canons. Casual user will be much happier with Nikon over the other three. XSi and XTi and identical in this regard inspite of the former's 14-bit A/D converison advantage. Upgarding from XTi to XSi will not give any advantage in real world improvements in terms of color reproduction.
Image Noise (at 400 and 1600 ISO)
1st: Canon XTi
2nd: Canon XSi
3rd: Nikon D60
3rd: Olympus E420
XTi has the least image noise, as it has less megapixels in the same area CMOS sensor when compared XSi. D60's CCD is noisier but it also has more color information at higher ISOs where Canons mutes colors to suppress the noise. E420 smaller LiveMOS sensor has worst of both worlds. It's images are as Noisy as D40 but colors are as muted as Canon's.
If you factor in the prices, the best choices are either XTi for D60. The trade off is between better color and less noise.
 Canon XSI Live View Review July 4, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
Hello everyone! Well I got the Canon XSI the other day and i wanted to let you all know how the live view work. Not good!!! Let me explain how it works and why it will not work underwater.
1.You Have two choices in Auto Focus in Live View.
Quick View: Samples a Focus points
Live View: Samples in center
Both are slow.
2.When you think how live view should work it doesn't. You would think to focus you would press the Shutter botton down 1/2 way and it would Focus. Well in Live view it doesn't. Strange? How you do it is.You press the AE Lock Botton. Then after it focuses you press the Shutter Botton. The biggest problem it take 1 to3 Sec. just to Focus. Good by fish!!! Man i had high hopes for this camera but i am going to send it back. If someone else has seen a better way of doing this let us know. But i don't think so. Man this camera Sucks!!!!!

My husband and I bought this camera for our 35th anniversary because we wanted to take a driving tour through the redwood forests of California and the ocean along the Oregon coast. We figured the trip would be a warm up and review of what the camera could do. We are so pleased with the photos taken with this Canon Rebel TSi 12 Megapixel Camera. It came with an 18-55 mm lens and we purchased a 75-300 mm lens also. Neither of us are pro's with a camera but I loved the feature that lets you take multiple pictures one after the other. We had also purchased a High-speed SD memory disk and were able to get fantastic photos of waves as they crest, curl, and crash on shore. I was even able to get photos of sea gulls flying and with the larger lens they look wonderful. We also toured the lighthouses along the Oregon Coast and the camera took great pictures of those too, no mater what the distance was. I cannot wait to go on another whale watch cruise this summer here in Seattle. This time I think I will actually be able to capture the Orca pods and not have photos of the water only because my old camera took too long to focus before the picture would shoot. I was afraid that the bigger camera would be a pain to carry around but it really was not. Although bigger than my smaller digital camera, it is lightweight and was not really the problem I thought it would be. We both love this camera.
