Description

New Technology for Outstanding Images. Outstanding Image Quality: New Canon 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC III Image Processor, 14-bit conversion for smooth tone, gradations, extensive noise reduction technology, and new Auto Optimization for superior highlight-shadow control. Canon's CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. It offers many of the same new technologies to maximize each pixel's light gathering efficiency that were first seen with the professional EOS-1D Mark III model. It's an APS-C size sensor , and there's an effective 1.6x increase in the lens's marked focal length when attached. Canon's DIGIC III Image Processor dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel XSi's sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.

Reviews on Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12.2 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only - Silver

My first digital SLR

Strengths: It is what I expected in a SLR camera. All the 35mm lenses from my Rebel work on this camera.

Weakness: There is no attachment for the lens cap. The old speedlite flash is not compatible with this camera. The rubber door on the left side of the camera is easily opened. It feels like I may rip it out,

I have two other digital camera, but there shutters were too slow for taking action pictures. I have not spent much time with the manual, and I have been able go through the menu to find all the settings.

Seems like a great camera, but...

Strengths: SDHC memory, 12MP

Weakness: Blurry edges with minimal motion?

First off, this camera seems every bit as good as my previous Rebel XTi. I like the fact that it uses SDHC memory instead of the old CF memory. Only problem I'm having is - I seem to get some motion blurring in full-Auto mode (flash on, using a stock Canon 15-75mm EF lens) - even when there is very little motion (i.e. someone is moving their fingers). I didn't have this problem on the XTi. Maybe...

Canon EOS Rebel XSi (body only, silver)

THE GOOD: Excellent photo quality for its class; better-than-average speed. THE BAD: Maximum ISO 1600; huge spot-for-spot metering. THE BOTTOM LINE: It doesnt stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.

Canon EOS 450D / Canon EOS Rebel XSi

After testing the Canon EOS 450D I am really satisfied with the camera. It is a perfect camera for everybody. If you are just starting with (digital) photography or if you are a bit more experienced, and whether or not you switch from a compact camera, the Canon 450D enables you to take excellent pictures. Moreover, it comes at an extremely affordable price.

DCRP Review: Canon EOS Rebel XSi

The Canon EOS Rebel XSi is a very good entry-level digital SLR. It offers very good photo quality (with the appropriate tweaks), lighting fast performance, live view, and a large LCD display. The camera has its share of flaws, though, including soft JPEGs at default settings, redeye, sluggish contrast detect autofocus, and a rather high price. Still, the Rebel XSi is a solid choice for those...

The Canon Digital Rebel XSi is an update to last year's XTi that ups the resolution to 12.2 megapixels and adds a handful of other new features, including a bigger 3-inch screen, an improved autofocus system, and optical image stabilization in the kit lens.
