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 doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.

you guys got to be kidding. this is the best picture quality this side of the 5D



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Handling, speed, price, quality, 12mp, 14bit, live view, screen
Cons: no dial on back, kit lens has rotating focus front end
Opinion:
ok, so I'm a 40D shooter and former 400D shooter.

Affordable DSLR with no frills but with spot meter this time.



Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Many long for a spot meter & Canon has done that this time.
Cons: Sadly the ISO range is from 100 to 800, somewhat limited.
Opinion:
It is a no frills camera and the 400D is fast handling too.
With this new model, would be photographers on a tight budget would opt for it and spend more on Canon L lenses
for quality photos.
