I'm a complete amateur when it comes to photography, but we invested in this camera when expecting the arrival of our first child. It has been worth every penny. The extra battery that comes with the kit has been wonderful as has the 8 GB card. I take tons of pictures of our son. He is now over 7 months old and we still haven't filled up the card. I still have pictures on it from before he was born. The camera itself takes high quality photos and is easy to use for a beginner like me. The lens that comes with it is adequate for most of my needs. As for the seller, the camera was packed well and shipped in a reasonable amount of time. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is a very powerful entry level SLR. It performs very well under low light conditions, very low noise at 400 and 800 ISO. Great colors. Good price/quality value.

One thing I learned from this transaction is that Amazon does not stand behind the purchase when a third party is involved. You are on your own. You probably should be aware of that if you are not now.

If you have taken pictures with compact and semireflex cameras, EOS XSi will be perfect for you. Besides quality of this Canon camera model the kit provides you an additional battery (absolutely necessary in many cases), its 8 GB SD card allow you take thousands of photos. It was a good buy for me....

This camera rocks and the package is a great value!!

Camera pros in my opinion:
- programmable and saveable settings in the "P" mode
- lightning fast start-up and shutter response times
- continuous burst picture taking capabilities
- amazing picture quality
- super-long battery life and accurate battery meter
- sleep mode is excellent

Package pros in my opinion:
- extra battery greatly extends range (reduces battery anxiety on long trips)
- 8 GB, fast SD card can hold thousands of pictures at 12 MP each, or hundreds in the raw + mode
- case is not the highest quality but works well with my extra lenses, filters, and small tripods

Remember, just because you have a nice camera does not mean you will take good pictures. Educate yourself so that you may utilize the great capabilities of this machine.

I was a little hesitant about buying, what is to me a big purchase, online. Especially after that one bad review. HOWEVER, I am glad I did. I got a great camera at a good price and even got all the accessories I needed at the same time.The Shipping was fast and efficient, even getting in a day earlier than expected. Everything was packaged well with nothing out of place when it got here. As for the camera it looks solid and I can't wait to get my moneys worth out of it. I think it will do wonders over my point and shoot fuji. This is basically a review of the store and its efficiency. After I use the camera a bit I will try and come back and review on it some more.
