The Canon XSi is still an excellent camera, especially for someone getting into DSLR photography. It is easy to use and takes wonderful pictures. Plus there are many lenses that can be used with it. I highly recommend this camera to novice and pro alike.

I gave this item a 3 is because I was misinformed about the cosmetic appearance of this camera it advertised open box never used when I received it the camera body had scratches and the plastic was discolored. But the camera operates as it should and the pictures are quite good. I decided to just keep it regardless. I was just disappointed with the appearance of the camera. I has several cameras I purchased on EB and they are all second hand but in new condition and 4 are canon plus this. I should have looked at the photos more closely.

I just upgraded from my beloved Canon Rebel XT. The XSI gives you a larger LCD, upgraded Cmos III processor, better focus system, 12.1 MP's. It still has the nice Canon menu I am used to. The only other thing , if you need higher ISO, XSI only goes to 1600, so if you do a lot of indoor shooting without a flash, and are experienced, you might need it, other than that I love this camera. It takes great pictures, the LCD is unreal vs the old XT. You can get some great buy;s on this camera, since Canon now has the T1i and T2i, I don't need the added video. This is a easy, great picture taking camera. Canon also has tons of lens out there.
I used to use an SLR many years ago and got away from it for convenience, then they came out with digital cameras. I wanted to get back to the SLR but they are expensive so I opted for a Sony Super Zoom which is a great camera but it just wasn't enough for me for all the things I wanted. I purchased this camera and it is about 2.5 years old and is in fantastic condition. It came with a 75-300 zoom lens and it is great along with having the image stabilizer. It captures the shot in action, unlike standard digital cameras. Images are crisp. I was always a Canon user before and have no regrets purchasing this Canon. Easy to use and the same great quality as Canon always has in their cameras. I bought it primarily for photos of my son in sports and it has been worth it. The lens are easy to change out as well. Great quality pics!Read full review
The Cannon EOS Rebel XSI IS a upgrade from my Rebel G SLR camera and Rebel EOS camera I still own. I have had good luck with Cannon Camera's that I have owned from early 1980's.My first cannon was a second hand one that got stolen from my friends truck. I bought one to replace that one and that was damage from hurricane Andrew back in August of 1992. I bought the Rebel G and have use it and have not had any complaints. Then I got a Rebel Eos from a pawn shop that was a good buy and looked good also worked great. The new digital camera now gives you that picture instantly where you use to have to buy rolls of film, then load take picture s then take roll of film to have developed. Pro's,The price was right for me. The picture quality is great with the 12.1 megapixel and all the added features makes it a great camera. Having a rechargeable battery is great also which lasts a good amount of picture taking even using flash. Software for computer is easy to use. The lens kit is great , the lens works great with the imagine stabilization. The only con is getting use to not putting hands or fingers on led screen, other then that I am real happy and satisfied with my digital camera that I have purchased. I would recommend the camera to any one who would want to buy a new camera.Read full review
I have to admit, I had to read and re-read the instructions. Then I experimented with it. In a short time, I was able to use my new camera the way it was intended. The Canon Rebel XSI allows an amateur, like myself, to take professional quality pictures. It has a lot of capabilities that allow me to take pictures that I simply cannot take with my point and shoot camera. I like to take advantage of the Image Stabilizer feature that gives pictures a much more crisper and cleaner look. The capability to set aperture openings and shutter speeds also allow for better pictures in low lighting or picture subjects in motion. This camera is not only worthy of a professional photographer, but is also a step in the right direction for amateurs, towards reaching higher levels of photography.
Camera wise, its brilliant, though I wish the default lens that comes along had a longer focal length range. I was at this graduation ceremony in my university and was supposed to be taking photos of some of my friends who were graduating. But with the maximum focal length of 55mm, the best I could get still had half the stage in every shot. Just got me wishing I had a longer lens. But anyways, the camera is awesome and actually so is the lens that comes along (except for the range). It gives you really good pictures. The entire system is really fast - you can just keep clicking photos (without using the flash, that is). The flash tends to heat up if you use it a lot. In such cases, there'll be a flash freeze of about 5-6 seconds. But well if you buy an SLR and want to use it for professional stuff, you should be getting an external flash and lenses for the different ranges and other purposes. Overall really good buy.Read full review
I think this is the most expensive item I bought from Ebay and like always I never had a problem. If you want a great camera this is the one you have to buy. It´s a great jump from a normal digital camera. It also as automatic mode (point and shot) but if you buy a camera like this and you spend all this money im sure that you want to do more that just this. Is much heavy and bigger than a normal digital camera but the quality of picture and all the options that a camera like this one has has no equal. You can easily exchange the lenses, filters, flashes and so many things to have a great picture with this. If you want macro pictures I think is the best camera I ever used and only with the stander lens that it comes. Hope this review helps you to take a better choise and you wont regret on buy a Canon. Thanks for reading.Read full review
I wanted to move up to a DSLR camera, from a digital point/shoot and a film SLR camera. I couldn't afford the newest models but was looking for something with similar features, modern features, yet keeping the cost reasonable. This camera matches that perfect! The pictures it takes on the auto setting are just amazing. Using manual settings, it does yet even better. I describe myself as someone with above beginner and still learning advanced topics of the art of photography.
