1) Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera

The 12.2-megapixel EOS Digital Rebel XSi boasts great image quality and a strong set of features. In our PC World Test Center evaluations, the XSi produced evenly exposed shots, with excellent sharpness. Various preset and manual controls are chief among the strengths of the XSi, which costs about $899 with kit lens. Though navigating through the camera's deep menu options can be daunting, its useful My Menu tool can help you organize the settings you use frequently into a single shortcut screen. Another boon to folks who are accustomed to compact cameras is the A-Dep feature, which optimizes images of small groups of people by adjusting the depth of field so that all of the image's subjects are in focus.
