4 out of 5 stars very good for beginners and nice for travel   July 20, 2008
Xiaojing Zheng
the battery was really long-last. A full charged battery can take about 1500 pics. That was very nice for people in travelling. The only weakness is the lense in the kit can not focus very well under dark enviorment or short distance. But it is still a good dslr though.


5 out of 5 stars Great camera at a fair price...   July 19, 2008

Bought this camera to replace my Nikon D70. I've been a Nikon user for years however my D70 was starting to do strange things including reformatting the memory card at will! I bought the camera after reading the review on dpreview. Took the Canon to Scandinavia, taking about 2,500 shots via a Sigma 18-200mm OS lens(I wish canon would produce such a lens however the results with the Sigma were excellent). This is a feature loaded camera which will appeal to the amateur and prosumer as well. The menus are excellent, very intuitive compared to the D70. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Amazon was best value   July 17, 2008

We purchased this after comparing it to the Nikon D60. It is a little more expensive, but seems to be of higher quality and feels better to hold. Quality of build so far is pretty good and its use is pretty intuitive. So far, no issues to report on negatively.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent product   July 17, 2008

I am surprised to see effects. Excellent camera and I am very happy with it. I have used canon products before, and I was always unhappy with their battery life, but not with this product. Xsi has lot of features and to be honest I am still learning. I used this for my NY trip and some of the pics I took during night were amazing. camera should be bought with 55-250 mm lens along with 18-55, that gives very good range for much less cost. Really worth the $$.


5 out of 5 stars Love the Camera!!!   July 17, 2008

This is a GREAT camera! All I can do is take pictures...it doesn't matter when or where. My family loves it also. My wife and I have quickly become the photographers and people are amazed at the quality. I would recommend this camera to anyone.
