Xsi Rebel – Absolutely Wonderful, Fantastic Camera!

I had researched both Cannon and Nikon cameras when I decided to upgrade to a SLR. I already owned a Rebel 35mm camera and knew what kind of pictures it took, but like the ease of a digital. Came across someone who had a Cannon XT. It looked alot like my 35m. Long story short, I bought the XSi Rebel. It is wonderful. I like that it is easy to use, but gives you professional quality pictures.

The biggest selling point for me was that I could you use my lense from my 35mm. The one thing I wish was available, not necessarily for this camera but for any digital SLR is a guide to lenses and attachments to enhance the capabilities of this great camera. It was a great purchase on my part. I like that the SLRs are available at an affordable price for someone who takes and shares alot of pictures, but not necessarily a professional photographer. However, this camera will make your pictures look professional.

XSi Rebel – Amazing Camera!,

I had a Kodak P880 for 2 years (do NOT order that camera). It never worked properly. I fought with it and struggled and tried to take photos of my family that I usually wound up hating. I finally ordered this Canon. Wow. It is so different than my Kodak. Most of the pictures that I take don’t require any editing, and the camera is so smarter than me that it’s ridiculous. Now if I can figure out how to use the telephoto lens I bought with it, I’ll be all set!

XSi Rebel – Better Than 35 mm, Just Short of 6×6 Cm

I have used 5×7 in., 4×5 in., 6×6 cm and 35 mm formats over the last 30 years, and have developed and printed all my work in my own darkroom (B&W and color). The combination of Canon’s XSi Rebel plus my PIXMA Pro 9000 printer (also purchased through Amazon.com) surpasses the quality and longevity of my color C-prints and Cibachrome in 6×6 cm and 35 mm. Thanks to Amazon for delivery in under the time specified. And thanks to no arguments about stock outages and kit contents, which was so prevalent with several less-than-professional NYC camera outfits over the years, except for B&H Photo, a truly professional supplier.

I don’t think I can add much to what’s already been said about this camera. The cost and the quality of this camera and PIXMA 9000 printer come in far under what my darkroom cost me many years ago–only deliver superior results–with no carcinogenic chemicals.

I also own a Canon A620, which has delivered fantastic results for a small point-and-shoot camera that fits in your pocket.

The next step is to build up my Canon lens selection; I’m converting from being a previous Minolta (35 mm) and Mamiya (6×6 cm) user.

One word of advice: Don’t skimp on the inks and use any cheap stuff other than Canon inks (or OEM inks for the printer you own). After all, permanence is worth paying for–just as the quality print materials you purchased and the archival processing you would have spent hours doing in the darkroom.

Xsi Rebel ? Wonderful Camera!

For someone who is used to a non-digital SLR, you will feel right at home with this one. All the same functions are there, just shown on a menu to select electronically, instead of with manual adjustments. You can use this as a point-and-shoot digital, or you can play to your heart’s content. The lens is great, and you can add a telephoto lens if you want. It will take some learning for someone whose only experience is with a digital, but is a good choice for someone who wants to convert to digital from manual without losing all the versatility of the SLR camera.

XSi Rebel – Ergonomics

I mated the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens with the Canon XSi Rebel body. Individually they are both incredible components. The camera has most of the features of more expensive dSLRs and the lens is an “L” lens, possessing incredible optics and quality. But I’m not sure they work well together.

When I first lifted the camera from the shipping box I was impressed. The camera felt solid, not like some cheap plastic cameras on the market. And it was relatively light-weight.

The lens was built like a tank, solid, bulky at 77mm diameter, and quite heavy. But when the lens was attached to the camera something strange happened. It didn’t feel right. The balance was way off. Since the lens was 50% heavier than the camera, it tended to point downward, like a divining rod, when the camera was suspended by its’ strap. But, of course, “heavy” is a relative term. I had just upgraded from a compact P&S. And most quality dSLR lenses tend to be “heavy”. I read about photographers who label camera and lenses even heavier than mine as “light”. This is just a personal reaction I want to convey. I had anticipated I would be supporting the weight of the camera almost totally with my right hand, using my left had only for balance. But I find I am also using my left hand to support considerable weight.

I won’t go here into much detail about the specifications. They’ll be discussed in depth by other reviewers. Suffice it to say this is a quality camera with advanced features and “predictable” controls.

There is one operational issue I think should be addressed, however. It’s almost impossible to frame a shot using the viewfinder without smudging that beautiful 3″ LCD monitor with your nose. There are eyepiece extenders available, but most users are not satisfied with them. It is said much of the image is blocked with their use.

I have addressed this problem by installing a plastic protector over the LCD monitor. I suggest you do the same. Now I can rub the protector to my heart’s content without fear of scratching the LCD glass.

One other thing: Protect your lens with a quality UV filter. it would be pointless to install a cheap UV filter over a high-quality lens. I went for the B&H.

In summary, although I’m not yet comfortable with my combination of camera and lens, I did not let this detract from my grade. After all, this is a review of a camera, and not of a lens or even a combination of the two. Hopefully my discomfort will pass as I use the camera more frequently.
