5 out of 5 stars Survived the flood   September 7, 2008
Jim (Atlantic City)
I agree with all the positive things said and I probably can't offer much more than that. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the images and the flexibility of the camera.

But I will say that, after I accidentally left the camera outside during a rainstorm for several hours, it worked fine the next day. I was amazed. I let it dry out and it worked perfectly.

Now, you probably won't buy this camera for that, but it is nice to know that it is a quality item.

love love love this camera-response is fast, design is user friendly with dedicated hard buttons for the controls you change the most, and the menus are easy to navigate.

The speed of the autofocus, startup and fps are incredible. I moved up from a Canon Rebel Xti which was good but the Xsi is even better.
My one gripe is the change of medium even thought the new card type works fine the need to buy a new medium is annoying.



5 out of 5 stars First Digital SLR...   September 7, 2008
Rob and Laura (Pristina, Kosovo)
This was my first DSLR. Having only known point and shoot cameras this was an excellent next step. Easy to use, light enough to carry around though can get a bit heavy after awhile. The lens and features were great too. I've since added a 70-300 mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens and makes a great package. Picture quality is outstanding - didn't anticipate the significant improvement between a point and shoot and this camera. We visited Vienna recently and were amazed at the great photos! A very nice camera!
