Pros and Cons on the Canon EOS Rebel XSi camera? please post pictures you took with it.?

do you like yours?
please post pictures on what it takes. Does it have good Macro shoots? Does it take good landscape shots?

Pros are the same with this camera and any other DSLR

* large sensors (over 15 times larger than a P&S camera)
* a huge array of available lenses, new and used
* can be used as a P&S camera until you learn how to use it as a proper camera
* has many features found only on $5,000 had more DSLR’s

Cons

* to fully enjoy it, you will find you will want to attend at least one class in photography
* once you decide to buy a Canon, you will be married to that system for decades
* any photo I may have shot using that camera will NOT prove to you that it can take high quality images. Those images are based upon the skill of the photographer, not the camera
* to shoot macro shots, you will need a macro lens
* to shoot good landscapes, you will need a second lens, the 10-22 mm

Here is the news:

* Any DSLR can take great photos … that depends upon the skill of the user.
* The subject you choose to photograph, will determine what lenses you buy. So far we have you buying the lens that came with it, the 18-55 mm, a 60 mm macro and a 10-22 mm wide angle zoom

Xsi Rebel – Good Camera Good Price

I am a professional shooter who has this camera to use for fun and travel will be mad if I damaged my high end $ $ $ body. (Like skiing) Any form of love that camera so far. I have had the problems I read about auto focus or image quality. However, you can not take this camera out of the box and get the best pictures you can take. going to be okay, but you need to take the time and set up your camera. Read the book if you know what you’re doing. I have the camera kit with 18-55 IS lens and that’s fine. The camera takes much better photos with my 35-350 lens 72mm L on it, like any camera, do not spend their money on the glass body.

If you want a good camera for the price of this is the one for you. If you have older EOS their old lenses will work with the new camera. I also use my 430EZ flash is, from my EOS A2 film camera, which is the way that power in the automatic mode (since there is a flash E-TTL TTL only), but manual work if put to inside i use 1 / 16 or 1 / 32 (up to 10-15 feet high works) out side i put it to full power I can light up a subject from 100 feet away! (That’s good for that)

If an EOS has been used before this works more or less the same. even my old film EOS to it, the basic functions of pre-MID are the same.

CARE about you, but online. Do not buy from a company that does not have a dose of good reviews (not yet reviewed, and read the bad as well.) Personally I will not buy a photo outside 17St New York, the nightmare stories of many. I try to buy it from Amazon directly and make a lot of reading review if my item is supplied by anyone other than themselves. Spend a few $ $ extra to make sure you can send them back to their trouble. you get what you pay for.

XSi Rebel – Great First DSLR

Prior to this camera I have used a Powershot A30(?) and a cheap Kodak P&S. I was always fustrated with the quality of pictures I got. I think some of that has to do with the fact that I never learned proper technique for taking pictures. However, even when using the Auto or scene modes on the XSi Rebel, the quality is outstanding and the ease of taking pictures is great. It is actually fun to take pictures with this camera.

One of the biggest concerns we had with getting a new camera was its ability to take quality pictures of our children who hardly ever sit still. I do still take some bad shots given my lack of knowledge in picture taking, but I’m able to get a lot of good shots as well. When set to Continuous shooting mode, the camera is very quick. Even when set to single-shot mode, the ability to get a number of pictures in a short amount of time is still fast – way faster than our P&S cameras. Also, we can actually take decent pictures of our children inside the house without the use of the flash and the picture quality is still excellent (to my perspective).

One of the nice things about this camera is it’s ability to take pictures in RAW format (when using manual modes) and then being able to modify the pictures on the computer afterward using Canon’s supplied software. The software is very handy and provides some nice features.

I can’t say enough good things about this camera. It was well worth the price we paid and I have no regrets whatsoever.

Is a Canon EOS Rebel XSi worth getting?

I’ve heard the good with the bad in reviews with this camera, but I’m still not %100 sure if I should get it or not. If I do get it, I’ll be buying the Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera Kit from the Apple store, to make sure that I get the lens with the body!

I did not see an XSi camera for sale on the Apple store site … there is a SX1 which is NOT a DSLR with interchangeable lenses.

At $600 it is NOT a bargain.

If you really want a canon DSLR, look on Amazon for the best prices and look for any of the current Rebel variations.

At this time an actual Canon DSLR can be purchased with a lens which can use all the interchangeable lenses made buy Canon for under $500.
