Pros: Nice size and weight, very solid, feels great in the hands. Beautiful huge LCD. Included lens is pretty nice although the 28-235mm woulda been alot nicer, still it takes great sharp pictures. Controls are very easy to understand. Nice mix of presets and manual setting, very versatile. Really nice neck strap. Very impressed with the overall quality of construction. I've used many digital cameras over the years, this is my first DSLR, and really the best camera I ever owned. My other camera is a Kodak z1012, and this makes that look like a toy. I love this Canon camera and I'm taking it everywhere with me...even to bed :) I am very satisfied with my purchase, especially at the new lower price.

Cons: Hmmm, let me think about that...ummmmm ?

Overall Review: As usual, I got it in just 2 days. I heard people bashing UPS, and I know I've had maybe 1 or 2 issues with them over the years, but with Newegg they always deliver my stuff a day early, which is way cool, so I have nothing bad to say about UPS in my case. Maybe cause I'm a techie, but I find the learning curve on my first DSLR 'real' camera to be pretty easy, if you really read the manual it helps alot, plus there's helpful videos on youtube. All in all, I'm taking great photos right out of the box..guess I'm a fast learner.

Pros: Live view on a DSLR! 12.2 MP Sensor is great, especially for larger prints. Very fast shutter speed.

Cons: Live view is EXTREMELY slow, so if you are looking at DSLR camera's, do not use Live View as a buying point, it is too slow to take the picture. It works by putting an aditional sensor in front of the mirror, which is only used for live view.

Overall Review: Great Camera! Takes absolutely awesome pictures The quality is definately something you can see immidiately. Deffinately an upgrade over a XTi, or a D80/D40/D40x. If you are in the market for a DSLR, and do not need a profesional grade camera(Which is much more pricy than this), get this camera!

Pros: Just wouldn't spend the bucks on a 5D to get the 12 MP resolution. The XSi came out and is fairly priced for the technology you get. My first digital SLR! Four EOS film bodies, three "L" lenses, and four other EF lenses = long-time film shooter! This camera is so much fun; sometimes I forget I'm shooting digital and can go in and take care of small glitches that would have been permanent with film. Resolution and clarity, even with $100 provided lens, is amazing! I zoomed in on one pic and could read the date and time off a man's wrist watch - never saw that with film (even the really fine grain stuff). If you want to make full use of that 12 MP, pair it with an "L" lens - you can really see the difference. I've been shooting a lot with my old (about 10 years!) 28-70L and the test shots are great. I would buy that 24-105L and just leave it on the camera forever...

Cons: I bought two Lexar Professional 4GB SDHC cards and had formatting errors with both of them. I had formatted both cards in the camera and I thought that's what you're supposed to do. Lexar support had me go back and re-format both cards in Windows (supposedly resets card to factory specs). No problems since then.

Overall Review: I tried to buy this camera for several weeks and really got the run-around from other vendors (who shall remain nameless!). In one case, they even shipped me a gray market camera after I had been specifically promised a USA kit. Newegg had the best price, came through with the promised product, and had it in stock to ship immediately = Newegg was the winner all the way! Don't fall for the low-ball internet vendors! They will bait-and-switch you and it will cost you more money than a reputable vendor. Newegg - get that 24-105L in stock so I can buy one from you!

Pros: Price was PERFECT...Camera is BEAUTIFUL...VERY well put together...Pictures are BREATH TAKING...I have found my new passion!! I have NO complaints!!

Cons: a person who has spent time in a correctional facility?! ...cons, in regards to this camera and as far as for myself personally...there are absolutly NONE. I am 100% pleased with my decision. I will use every feature at some point or anther! I find this camera to be EXCELLENT in all catagories. NO CONS HERE!!

Overall Review: About 2 weeks ago i decided to make the the BIG switch...from a digital point and shoot to a digital SLR. After a thorough and careful search I made the decision to purchase the CANON EOS REBEL XSi and I decided to make the purchase from newegg.com. I am delighted to say that the time and effort spent was WELL WORTH IT! I couldn't asked for a better camera or a better place of purchase! Customer Service, i can already tell, is TOP NOTCH! I must have called 3 times before my camera even arrived! Each different person i spoke with were very kind and patient, very knowledgeable.

Pros: The reason it's focusing on things up close & leaving other things out of focus is due to your depth-of-field settings in AF. This is a dSLR, not a point & shoot, so you'll need to learn the camera's manual settings & go from there. I strongly suggest some classes at Wolf/Ritz, they can help a great deal & pretty inexpensive too.

Cons: And for the comment on the neck strap......... are you kidding?

Pros: Bigger Screen, Live View, SDHC card compatibility. No digital SLR matches the value of this one. Yous spend the money on the lenses, get the camera cheap. I just retired my Digital Rebel and have an XT that I will retire when the new model comes out. Only costs a little more to upgrade.

Cons: Wow, well, the Live View mode focuses slow and doesn't work in the automatic modes. Just know when you buy that Live View is intended for tripods and portraits. Zoom in, fix the focus, zoom out and take your picture with PERFECT focus.

Overall Review: The nay-sayers will cry "it's not full-frame!" and other such junk. Well, seing as how Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma, and Tokina have all adopted the APS-C and APS-C are the best selling DSLR's... I'd like to tell the nay-sayers to shove it. APS-C is here to stay.

Pros: Agree with most of the positive comments here. I finally made the jump from point and shoot to DSLR. Picture quality is way better in indoor or low light shots. I now realize how flash pictures are generally bad (and try to avoid if possible). I was unsure about the wide angle lens, so I bought an additional 50-250 lens. Well, I hardly ever take that out. The default lens is great and the wide angle setting is what I end up using most of the time. There are many automatic modes for newbies, but I like the straight forward aperture priority mode. Finally, there are no autofocus problems as some reported. However, I don't use the default 9 point AF. The camera assumes the wrong area of focus in full auto mode and pictures may come out blurry. I use only the center AF point and make sure its where I want the focus to be. It focuses sharp and fast.

Cons: It certainly is bigger than a point and shoot but it is not very heavy.

Pros: EF and EF-s lenses, fast, smaller footprint from earlier rebels, Kit lens is actually decent, live view, SDHC cards for storage, larger battery compared to most earlier models, nearly the same noise profile as the 50d for half the price, did I mention it was fast. Assuming you get a good one the focus and picture taking speed is amazing, in the time it would take for one picture on my original rebel ( 300d ) this thing takes 3. Since I have been shooting with this camera I have never run into a situation where I had to stop shooting because the buffer was full. The longest forced delay is because of the flash. Live view is very useful for macro and tripod work.

Cons: QA, had to ship back my first unit because the AF was off. Don't believe the hype on megapixels, short of studio shots with prime lenses, you really will not be resolving that much detail. Menu UI could use a little TLC in some spots to make it more obvious which buttons set and which ones reset the setting that you are changing.

Overall Review: Lost one star because of the AF on the first body and, from my research, this is not an isolated incident. Otherwise this camera is everything I have come to expect from a Canon Rebel and will make a nice addition to my photography.
