Comments about Canon EOS Rebel XSI Black Digital Camera w/ 18-55mm IS Lens & Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens:

This camera is my first SLR and all in all I'm really enjoying it. I upgraded to the SLR to keep up with my two young children. Once I was able to set the camera to the multi photos setting I've had no problem catching all those great photos I was missing before.

Unfortunately, I've not been successful with photos in mid- to low-light.

Overall I'm still pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel XSI Black Digital Camera w/ 18-55mm IS Lens & Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens:

This is an easy camera to use. If you like the point and shoot ability, use the automatic setting, if you like to make adjustments, you can select what you'd like to have all other settings 'slaved' to. Then there is the total manual setting, that allows you to do just about evertything..

Overall great camera. Excellent image quality and shutter speed. Recommend upgrading to extended life battery. Do not like that image is not displayed on lcd screen while viewing subject. And, do not like the long delay when using true flash at night.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel XSI Black Digital Camera w/ 18-55mm IS Lens & Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens:

I've had this camera for a couple weeks. We upgraded from a standard point and shoot and this is fabulous. Sure you could get the top of the line cameras that cost thousands but why when you can get a great camera that takes fabulous pictures. My favorite part is that I can take low light pictures now. The image stabilization really does help. My newborn was in her crib one morning with the blinds shut on a cloudy day. I was still able to take a picture of her without having to use flash or a tripod. 1/5 shutter and I was able to hold the camera still enough. That's something I never would have been able to do with my point and shoot.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel XSI Black Digital Camera w/ 18-55mm IS Lens & Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens:

I had pondered for days the decision between the XSI and the Nikon D60. I ordered the D60 but after waiting 4 weeks I cancelled the order and ordered the Canon. I am so glad that the Nikon did not ship. The Canon has everything and more than I know what to do with at this time but the online tutorials and a DSLR class at a local community college and using the camera has really taught me the strengths of the camera. The speed of the system, clear, precise shots in a variety of light conditons really adds that edge to the camera. I have found that the batteries have good life and I am using a 8gb SDHC card with 20mb/s write and the multiple shots are great. I would recommend this camera to anyone that wants a good easy to operate camera that can give professional results with time and effort. It is not magic but it is approaching magic.
