Bad Image Quality by Ottis123 (California)  1 Stars
November 22, 2009
For a long time I refrained from writing this review, believing that probably I was to blame for the subpar image quality (out of focus) pictures I was getting. But my conclusion is that it was not me. It was the camera.
I had such a great experience with the Canon S2IS that I was ready to move up to my first SLR camera, and what better than the same brand. I enthusiastically ordered the Xsi with the supplied kit lens. I soon realized that no matter which focus setting I used, many pictures, both indoor and outdoor, were slightly out of focus, and slightly underexposed. I took side-by-side pictures together with my S2IS, and was shocked to see that the older, 5 MP camera took pictures much, much better than the Xsi.
I wrote to Canon customer service, and they blamed it on the "kit" lens. They suggested I buy a lens with a wider aperture (which was about $1,000, so I thought, "You're kidding"). I did not buy the lens, but I did buy an external flash ($350), and the image quality was just the same. I was so disgusted with the situation that I basically stopped using the camera, and continued using the old one instead.
After some time, I really gave up on the camera and decided to return it, together with the flash. Fortunately, Amazon has fantastic customer sevice, and everything worked out without a problem.
In conclusion, my camera definitely had focus problems. These focus problems caused the pictures to be improperly exposed, and the flash strength to be slightly inexact, all contributing to bad image quality. For me, my Xsi's 12 MP sensor and all its other features were worthless if the image quality was lower than that of my 5 MP camera. I am now hesitant to buy another Canon camera, afraid of a repeat of this.
One star for the camera, and five stars for Amazon's customer service.

Great pictures but disappointed in the live view mode by M. Hartlein (Nashville, TN)  4 Stars
November 19, 2009
I use my camera for taking pictures of our one year old mostly. It is a great camera for small children because it can take a picture so fast you don't miss out on a good smile. I am disappionted in the live view mode. It is very hard to use and you can not use it in the auto modes. They don't tell you that up front. If you want to take pictures mostly with your LCD screen in live mode this is not the camera for you. If you enjoy using the view finder this is a great camera for the price.

Perfect First DSLR by D. Spencer (State College, PA)  5 Stars
November 19, 2009
I purchased this camera for my fiancee because she has always liked taking pictures of flowers and plants. I read many reviews before I decided on this camera, and I must say that I think I made the right choice. The camera takes the best close up shots I've ever seen, even compared to other DSLRs that I've had experience with. For the first time user, the full auto mode is perfect to use until you get time to read the manual and understand how to use the more advanced functions. The biggest problems posted by other users seemed to be the noise the camera makes and the weight of the camera. I haven't noticed a problem with either. If you are thinking about trying out a DSLR for the first time, I strongly recommend this camera.

i REALLY LIKE THIS BACK UP CAMERA! by Robert S. Johston (Machias, Maine USA) 4 Stars
November 16, 2009
I LIKE MY NIKON D 90 THE BEST BUT I HAVE ONLY THE 18-105 MM AND A 100-500 MM LENS. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND HANDI-CAPPED AND DON'T GET TO WALK TOO MUCH SO I FIND THE CANNON XSI HANDI TO GRAB WHEN WE HEAD OUT THE DOOR. SOMEDAY, IF I LIVE LONG ENOUGH I WOULD LIKE A 105 MM MICRO LENS. THIS CAMERA, THE CANNON W/55-250MM LENS IS GREAT FOR QUICK SHOTS OF WILD TURKEY AND DEER WHICH ARE IN ABUNDANCE HERE DOWNEAST MAINE.I ALSO DO A LOT OF SHOOTING OF THE MAINE COASTLINE WHICH IS SOME 3500 MILES LONG. THE CANNON IS A GREAT STARTING CAMERA FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SWITCHING FROM POINT AND SHOOT CAMERAS. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST FOR GREAT PICTURES.
