Great Camera for a Rookie like me, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 4GB Card + Gadget Bag (Electronics)
I thought this was a great setup for someone that is getting into digital SLR, but I really don't have anything to compare it too because I am a Rookie. I am still trying to figure out all the buttons but that is part of the fun. I got some great action shots of my granddaughter playing soccer.
I did get a different bag because the one that came with kit was bigger than what I wanted to mess with especially for carrying on an airplane. The bag that came with the camera is good and has lots of room for everything that came the kit and I bet you could get a couple of more lens in there and still have room for a big bag of M&Ms.
I also went right out and bought a 28-200 zoom mostly because I wanted too. I believe this was the cheaper variety but it was kind of cool to fool with and I am having a great time learning to make it work.
I wish I could explain how good the manuals that came with camera are but I don't read instructions because I am a guy. I know for a fact that the manuals do have pictures.
It must be a great camera because I have pictures that will be great memories so it must be easy to use

Fantastic investment!, August 12, 2009
This review is from: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 4GB Card + Gadget Bag (Electronics)
This camera is hands down way better than my smaller Canon Powershot. You would expect that right--outstanding photo quality, though big files. I found it easy to use and can use my zoom lens from my Canon film SLR from 1987. I'm very pleased with it. The built-in flash is good in a pinch, but invest in the bigger Canon flash for better results, if your serious about photography. I can take the raw files into Photoshop and/or Lightroom and easily manipulate. I love that the XSi will shoot JPEG and RAW at the same time. You just have to remember to change all all the settings and modes as needed.

Awesome deal!, April 5, 2009
This review is from: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 4GB Card + Gadget Bag (Electronics)
This was the best deal I could have taken! I'm so happy with the camera and everything that came with it. My only problem was that one of the snaps was broken on the bag.
