    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 12.2-megapixel, a live view LCD, improved autofocus, new dynamic-range controls.

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: The new XSI has everyhing you can dream of! The best feature I like: XSi's 230,000 pixel, 3-inch LCD can be set to function in Live Mode, which permits the camera to autofocus while using the LCD as a viewfinder, without lowering the optical viewfinder reflex mirror! Perfect for macro pictures taken with a tripod. Unlike previous Rebel models, the XSi camera saves image files on SD and SDHC memory cards, which is good as SD cards are much more popular and cheaper nowadays.

    Strengths: kit lens is better than before, 3 inch lcd, live view

    Weaknesses: not worth 300 more to upgrade from xti

    Overall Evaluation: bought this for my wife, but she thinks it's not worth the extra 300 to upgrade from xti. It has better pixel which doesn't matter anyway. Live view helps a little but not whole lot. The kie lens is way better than the xti kit lens. Should have waited for sometime till the price come down a little bit.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: LIve view, need i say more?

    Weaknesses: You have to buy a new memory car, and extra batteries if upgrading from the xti.

    Overall Evaluation: Light weight camera body and a really cute shutter sound when you take a pic. It is a lot easier on the hands for long term use. I have an xti and am really glad i got a good deal on a upgrade. user friendly and the large lcd screen on the back of the camera is GREAT. You need to read direstions on how to use and find live view.remember:You have to buy a new memory car, and extra batteries if upgrading from the xti.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great photo quality, quick action shots, large lcd screen, comfortable grip, and lots of features such as Live view

    Weaknesses: Slow shutter speed when in Live view, awkward position of iso

    Overall Evaluation: First of all, this is my first dslr, so I am not a pro, but I just love this camera. The pictures are soo much better than your typical point and shoot camera. You are able to take continuous action shots, and there is hardly any time between shots. There are numerous features that you can control which I still am just learning about, such as the spot metering and white balance adjustment. What is great is the amount of control you want or just set it to auto and the camera does it all. The only weakness I found was that when you are in Live view mode, the camera is very slow. I thought I could use the lcd screen like my point & shoot camera but found that to be too lagging. The Live View would be good for close up shots or if you are trying to shoot something where you can't really get your eye on the camera.All in all, this is the best prosumer camera I think. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to move up to a dslr.
