    Duration of ownership: 30 Days

    Strengths: Very user friendly user interface, LiveView enable point and shoot like experience for novice photographer. Great picture quality. The IS kits lens work great!

    Weaknesses:When the IS is operating the high freq noise is some what annoying. But being say that you can only hear it in a very quite studio enviroment

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first SLR. Been using Canon XT of my friend in the past. I decided to get my own, with my first paycheck. There is a lot of pro review out there about this SLR. So I am just going to share my personal feel about this camera, for the rest of detail information you can just google for it. I am total happy with this camera. It is much more advance then the Canon XT, great features, great picture quality and I just enjoy shooting with it. BTW the sensor is very low noise despite at 12M pixel density. The picture get even better when you hook it up with a 50mm prime lens.

    Strengths: Wonderful image quality and great to be able to work with RAW format

    Weaknesses:The live view is only available in manual settings.

    Overall Evaluation: I had a Canon point and shoot that I really loved--I wanted to graduate to a digital SLR and had heard good feedback about the Rebel series. So, far I am satisfied; but need to get more into the manual features to fully use the camera. I was also disappointed that the live view is not available when the camera is set on auto. I am getting used to using the view-finder to compose and focus, it will take some getting used to.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quick, very minimal lag time, compact for a DSLR, Canon quality, good IS lens

    Weaknesses:none

    Overall Evaluation: My wife has been using a Canon Digital Rebel (first model) and I just upgraded her to the XSi. She LOVES it. The difference is amazing: faster response and wake up time, faster shutter and definitely decreased lag time. It is smaller and lighter. Comfortable to use. We have a 18-55 canon lens but I upgraded to the new IS lens and it probably adds a little to the performance (esp lower light situations) but it definitely doesn't slow things down (which I thought might be a concern). Bottom line - EXCELLENT CAMERA even for a semi-pro photographer!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 12.2 megapixels, IS lens, live view, 3" display, light weight body

    Weaknesses:maximum ISO setting of 1600, faster burst mode would be nice and a larger buffer for raw capture

    Overall Evaluation: I have always felt Canon makes the best cameras. This one does not disappoint. Many additional features (compared to the Xti). Takes excellent low noise pictures, even at higher ISOs. I especially like the fact that my older lenses from my Canon 35 MM film camera work with it as well. For a first DSLR, this is one camera that has enough features borrowed from the higher end 40D that will allow the beginning photographer to grow into it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Large LCD screen and live view as well as the IS kit lens. Extremely easy to use for first timers.

    Weaknesses:Price.

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first DSLR and just got back from two week honeymoon in Costa Rica and absolutely delighted with its performance. After reviewing the 800+ pics my wife and I have received so many compliments on the image sharpness and vibrant coloring. One recommendation is a UV lens which ended up making a huge difference on outdoor scenic shots.
