User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great camera, but never received from Amazon
Well, I originally ordered the camera through Amazon on the 11th of Sept., it was scheduled for delivery on the 22nd. October 2nd comes and still without the unit, carrier (USPS) showed item was in “arrival scan” status at a location the whole time. Contacted Amazon to cancel order and refund, it’s now the 12th of Oct. and still no camera or refund on account. I ended up ordering the camera from n*w*gg for about $50 cheaper, just so happens they had a promo going on, 10% off all DSLR’s.

My rating above is not for the service, but for the camera.

On to the product, I love the camera so far. I am just getting into photos, so my photo skills are not quite up to par. Using this camera makes taking photos a snap and they come out great. Quick response to capture those precious moments of your first child.

5 Stars Canon XSi
This camera is a great camera for DSLR beginners. It is very easy to use and takes very good pictures.

4 Stars Awesome camera kit, nice job Canon!!
I’m very satisfied with this camera. I’m a fine art painter and digital concept artist so I take tons of reference images. It offers all I need for now, i’ll upgrade to a higher end Canon or Nikon when I get the dough.

PROS

great image quality

accurate color

nice functions

large preview screen

lightweight for a digital SLR

good value EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, images are clear and crisp

CONS

ISO speed only goes to 1600, not very ideal for night photography

Zoom with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens isn’t that great

5 Stars Great Buy – Trust Amazon !
Purchase for my 16 yr old – living out of state – needed the camera faster than the expected ship date, I sent the email saying I needed it, it came the next day. The camera is better than I expected. the service great. I paid hundreds more for my D-SLR and it was a lesser version – This is a good buy

5 Stars Great camera for the money
I’ve had the camera for about a month and have taken several hundred photos in different environments (outdoor, indoor and action). It does a great job in all areas and the battery life is super… charged it the day I got it and have yet to have to recharge it. The only issue with the camera is either the memory card that I bought or the camera itself… it seems to get hung up sometimes when reviewing photos and sometimes when taking a picture it gets a glitch so you have to shut the camera off and take the memory card out and put it back in, then everything is fine. Great camera for the money!!! If you buy an extra lens for it spend the $400 for the better Canon lens as the $275 (55-275) telephoto I bought doesn’t give as clear of picture as the lens that came with the camera.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera Black with EF S 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 IS Lens and EF 75 300mm f 4 5 6 III Deluxe Accessory Kit

The Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera incorporates improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor which ensures that the fine details and natural colors of the images are optimally recorded, and also manages the camera’s efficient energy consumption and high-speed signal processing performance. Its newly designed 12.2 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor employs large micro-lenses over each pixel to reduce noise and enhance sensitivity up to ISO 1600, while the 14-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion process means the Rebel XSi camera records up to 16,384 colors per channel and allows the camera to produce images with finer and more accurate gradations of tones and colors. The camera also incorporates the Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise Reduction functions (previously found only on Canon’s Professional Digital SLRs) and the camera is equipped with Canon’s Auto Lighting Optimizer technology, which corrects image brightness and contrast automatically to prevent underexposure with backlit scenes. Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: Canon’s latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens: An economical DC motor driven AF zoom, with the same optical system, construction, and exterior as its USM sister model. ++PLUS++ 8GB Deluxe Accessory Kit: Loaded with extremely useful accessories.

5 Stars impressed
I feel that this was a good product. We received it with in a week and everything was is good working order. Some of the extras were of a cheaper quality but the camera and lenses were great and it was overall a great deal!

5 Stars Canon XSi review.
The delivery was quick and on time. All the products in the order were in good condition and the product is great.

5 Stars Canon Digital Rebel XSi
So far its been great. For my first DSLR camera, its awesome. a little tweaks here and there. I’m taking very good pictures and almost no post processing done. I’ve had a Powershot and after taking picture, I would edit them, then post the up in my Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/skyp3r/) account. But now, I’m getting better quality pictures straight from the camera. I definitely recommend this cam to anyone as a starter in photography

5 Stars Love at first click!
I’m new to the SLR world and a VERY novice photographer. With this camera it doesn’t matter. I have taken great shots of my children play soccer and baseball using the sports setting and have gotten excellent action shots that I never dreamed I could get. The package with the zoom lens, tripod …. was the best value around. This is the best purchase I’ve made all year.

5 Stars Excellent
This package is great. I use the camera everyday and I love it. I reccomend this to any budget photographer

5 Stars Right on time. Thanks.
Thanks for getting this to me right when I needed it. I will keep you in mind for future purchases.

5 Stars Canon Battery
Received as ordered, competitive price & works fine. Was on time so am very satisfied.

5 Stars Great battery life!
I bought this as a spare for my Canon Rebel XSI. I can take over 500 pictures no sweat without even considering swapping for a backup battery. Also the battery charge last for a while.

5 Stars Reliable Friend
I bought the Canon LP-E5 battery because I was going on an important photo trip and didn’t want any issue with quality. This battery did not fail me. In fact, it went longer than stated. I’ll stick with this battery in the future rather than use second rate batteries.

5 Stars Good battery, but you may as well get the Bag kit.
The battery itself is a commodity and runs up to $70 bucks, so you may as well get the Canon Rebel EOS (or your model) bag kit with Battery and filter. It cost at minimum $99, but the bag is waterproof and durable. I knew a secondary battery would be needed, but after checking the prices and realizing I need a bag it was a no brainer.
