i just picked up my rebel xsi about a week ago and its pretty awesome. cant really speak a whole lot from experience but i can tell u the image quality of the xsi is amazing. I like it so much i was contemplating returning this and getting the rebel t1i but i saw a blog today about a t2i being officially announced next week so im waiting to see the price on that so I can make my decision. dont tease any of my pics or my photography vocabulary cause before last week my best camera has been a 3.2 mp smartphone camera! lol. heres some pics i snapped over the last few days.


just messing around with the focus, trying to test its capabilities.









yo can actualle see every tiny particle of dust and dirt on my car from sitting in this parking structure for 2 days.

^^first pic came out really dark in full auto mode

^^ so i switched modes and adjusted shutter speed to 1/25 of a second an viola!

then i took some super close up pics of the carbon fiber w gold pearl painted in ghost effect.

not sure what store ill buy it from ill def look into the sony aswell..that cannon does look nice just my last cam was a cannon pos 4mp and i hated it.but cant really compare a dslr to a reg pas.i belive the d40,d40x and d60 are not made anymore the one i have posted has replaced them from what im being told..

neither. look for a good condition used Nikon D40. half the price, just as good. when ready to upgrade, sell it for what you bought it for.
