The
Canon Digital Rebel XSi 
is a magnificent camera for someone who wants to make the jump to a DSLR. I got my XSi in August of 2009, and wow, i was amazed by it. The image quality was excellent, and the 3.5fps allowed me to throw in bursts, very helpful looking at the present i do largely aviation and wildlife photography. I can blow up the images to incredible sizes on my computer before is start to see a loss of quality. It is with out a doubt a great deal even greater than getting a 12mp point-and-shoot, and i am magnificent that i got it. Instead of purchasing the kit lens, I only bought the body and used the cash to but the EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS. If you do not agree the current you will need the kit lens, or you are on a budget, I stalwartly recommend to only buy the body. The camera was too very fast and responsive, and it started up quickly, that is very useful if you need to catch the action before it is gone. The XSi does weigh more the current a point-and-shoot, and at first I was surprised, but you get spent to it. It isn't, however, heavy adequate that it makes you tired from holding it. However, it does undergo a few negative aspects, but positive portions just overpower the unfavorable ones. The build quality is lacking, and the person is made out of plastic. It would hold been best if it was made of the alloy that the 40D,50D, and so on are built of, yet the present isn't really a major factor. Overall, the
Canon Digital Rebel XSi is an astounding DSLR camera packed with many great features.
