Product Description

The Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera incorporates a number of high-end functions and technology found in Canon's professional SLR models, including an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, and an advanced Live View function. Plus the proprietary DIGIC III image processor ensures that the fine details and natural colors of the images are optimally recorded, and also manages the camera's efficient energy consumption and high-speed signal processing performance.

The 12.2 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor employs large microlenses over each pixel to reduce noise and enhance sensitivity up to ISO 1600, while the 14-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion process means the Rebel XSi camera records up to 16,384 colors per channel and allows the camera to produce images with finer and more accurate gradations of tones and colors. The camera also incorporates the Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise Reduction functions.

This new Ringlight for macro shooting is loaded with features and capabilities. Now with Canon's E-TTL, it takes full advantage of the flash performance of the EOS-1V, EOS-3, and other E-TTL supported cameras. Twin circular flash tubes fire at even power, or can be varied over a six-stop range. One or more 580EX, 550EX, 430EX, or 420EX Speedlites can be used as wireless slaves along with the MR-14EX. The controller unit has an illuminated, informative LCD panel. Accepts optional hi-capacity battery packs.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens is a notably updated version of Canon's popular 100mm Macro lens. In its latest incarnation, the '100 Macro' joins Canon's esteemed 'L'-series, and as such is held to a higher level of resolving power, overall construction, and weatherproofing. Other improvements found on the EF 100mm f/2.8L include Optical Image Stabilization with up to 4-stops of shake control, and a refined Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) for quicker and quieter auto-focusing with full-time manual override.

This review is from: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera + Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens + 8GB Secure Digital Medical/Dental Accessory Kit (Electronics)

Although the camera is great, I had an issue with the company not sending me the Canon EF 100mm f/2,8L Macro Lens.
First, I never received notification before or after the purchase that the shipment was incomplete. I had to call the company myself (after receiving part of the shipment) to ask why I had not received the lens. This meant that I could not test if the camera body and flash ring were working properly. The company had me waiting for the lens in 10 day increments (for approximately two months). Finally, we reached a temporary solution which was to use a Sigma lens with a Flash ring adaptor until they recieved the lens and then trade. This was not optimal, since the flash ring did not stay on the camera (even with the adaptor ring included). Although the company was helpful and apologetic they said that another 6 individuals were in the same situation as me, since lenses were backordered (they were waiting for a shipment from Canon). Finally, I returned the Sigma lens and asked for a refund of my money. I have purchase the Lens at another store and the camera is working luckily without a problemCanon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera + Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens + 8GB Secure Digital Medical/Dental Accessory Kit.
