Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)

This is an excellent camera for all users such as me. I had a Yashica camera with film. For years I was resisting to get into the digital world. Now, with this camera, I am totally sure I was too late to change. It's an excellent image with those 12mp.

already a lot of good reviews from professionals and real photographers... i just wanted to give it 5 stars.

Just took this on a trip to Europe, and the battery lasted the entire 12 days, pics turned out great, especially in some tricky lighting situations

I have had this camera for 5 months, since April 2008. At first my results were inferior to those of my Rebel 300D images. I just assumed the camera would just produce better images! well it does, but you need to unlock its potential.

I'll expand on this review but in the meantime, I think its more relevant to show those who have bought this camera or might how to get the most out of it. I have created a free resource at www.learnslr.com to provide for free tutorials on maximizing your 450d/XSi experience.

I bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. The camera has worked flawlessly, and takes amazing pictures. It was easy for her to figure out the basic features very quickly and she was taking fantastic pictures of our kids in minutes. I bought an 8 gb mem card with it thinking that she'd need a huge card since it has 12MP - she usually only uses about 2-3 gigs between downloads (500+ pics). Great starter camera, great price. Now to find a great deal on a zoom lens...
