Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

Review: My journey with DSLRs began back in 2003 with the original Digital Rebel. DSLRs changed my photography for the better like nothing else. Five years and some 25,000 shots later, it's still going strong. Along the way I upgraded to the Canon 30D, which is a fantastic camera as well. When the 40D was announced, I decided to wait until the 50D sometime in 2009, but wanted a newer backup/second body for my photography needs. So when the XSi/450D was announced, it sounded like a perfect fit for my needs.
I got it from Amazon.com three days ago, and have given it a pretty good workout since then, having shot about 650 shots under a variety of shooting conditions and with a number of different Canon and third-party lenses. The following are my impressions.
The build feels very good. The camera feels wonderfully light yet well built. I'm 6ft tall with average size hands, and the camera feels good in my hand. The battery grip, to me, defeats the purpose of having a small, light DSLR, so I opted for a Hakuba/Opteka grip (it's a plate that screws into the tripod socket that enables you to use the excellent Canon E1 hand strap with it) and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a fan of neck straps, so this works well for me (see the uploaded photo for the configuration).
Most of the menu buttons on the back feel different from the ones on the original Digital Rebel and the 30D; the XSi buttons feel more tactile and have a definite "click" to them when you press them. The exception are the Exposure Lock (*) and AF selector buttons, which have retained the deeper, softer feel of the older cameras. Just different, not better or worse, for me.
The LCD is now 3" with 230K pixels. The playback images look great, and probably because of the higher resolution of the sensor, there's a very slight delay when you zoom in to 10x while the image loads and displays properly. People coming from other cameras or brands might not even notice it--I only did so because of the difference between it and my two other Canon DSLRs (which have lower resolution sensors). The viewing angle of the LCD screen (how clearly you can see the screen from side and up and down) is excellent; you can still see the screen holding the camera almost straight up for an overhead shot (more on this later). I'd estimate the viewing angle is about 160-170 degrees both horizontally and vertically.
The Digital Rebel has a separate status screen above the main LCD screen, and the 30D had one on top of the camera, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like the big LCD acting as the status screen and no top screen. I'm happy to say that this arrangement works well, at least for me. The back screen makes it really easy to take all the settings at a glance. The viewfinder is much larger and brighter than that in the Digital Rebel. A humongously welcome feature for me is the always displayed ISO value in the viewfinder.
The camera is only 1/2 of the image quality equation, the other being the lenses being used. Coupled with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L telephoto lens, the XSi turns out fantastic images. The supplied kit lens is very light and compact for being an image stabilized lens, and turns out good performance. The IS is certainly very useful.
Two features that used to be missing from the Digital Rebels and found in the more expensive DSLRs are now featured in the XSi: spot-metering and flash exposure compensation (these may have been available in the previous Digital Rebel model, the XTi, as well). The inclusion of those two features make the camera a much more complete and compelling photographic tool. The timer function now has a custom mode, where it'll count down from 10 seconds then take a number of shots (specified by you) in succession. No more running back and forth to reset the timer after each shot! There's also the traditional 2-second timer.
Let's talk for a minute about sensor and the ISO values. XSi/450D has five ISO values you can choose: 100 (best image quality), 200, 400, 800, and 1600. Higher ISO increases the camera sensor's sensitivity to light, thus you can achieve faster shutter speeeds for a given lighting condition. However, the trade-off is that the sensor "noise" (think grain for film photography) increases with higher ISO, so you get a degraded image quality in return for less blurred photos from hand shakes (thanks to faster shutter speed). This may come in handy in situations where flash photography is not permitted, such as a museum or a concert or theater. HOWEVER, compared to point-and-shoot Digital cameras, the larger sensors of DSLRs, including the XSi, means that even at ISO 800 and 1600 you get very usable images right out of the camera. Running the images shot at those ISO settings through any number of third-party noise reduction software will i
Canon's EOS 450D / Rebel XSi is priced comfortably below the D90. The D90 and 450D / XSi may share roughly the same resolution and both offer Live View facilities, but the D90 has a much higher maximum sensitivity of 6400 ISO to the Canon's 1600 ISO and quicker 4.5fps continuous shooting to the 450D / XSi's 3.5fps. Both screens measure 3in, but the D90's has double the pixels in each axis, delivering far more detailed playback, live view and menu fonts. The D90 also offers video recording, a bigger viewfinder with on-demand grid lines, HDMI output and direct connectivity to an optional GPS accessory.
The Canon does have a few advantages of its own though. It offers 14-bit processing and RAW files, comes supplied with more capable RAW processing software along with remote control capabilities for PCs and Macs. Live View on the Canon also has a Live Histogram and smoother refresh rate. All are nice to have, but the D90 is better-featured overall - so once again if you value the extra features of the Nikon, it could be worth spending the extra. But in terms of image quality, there's not much in it.
Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera is better with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
Answer by Andy on 09 Jan 2010 05:38:35If you can afford I would recommend Nikon D90 which is a good semi-pro level camera while canon eos450d is entry level camera
- Fast - focus, frames per second, and card access
- Great sensor, amazing colors out of the camera
- Auto D-lighting to restore shadowed regions
- Feels great in hand, very comfortable to hold... lighter than a Canon 40d/50d.
- The optical viewfinder is bright and big, with great coverage
- AF tracking points are easy to spot and switch to
- Great 320K dots LCD

The real killer blow that the Nikon D90 has is CLS wireless lighting with Nikon Speedlights. This is possibly one of the most handy things you can have, and for some reason Canon has only one camera with a similar system (the 7D).
Wireless lighting allows for you to have a number of off camera iTTL speedlights which opens up so many doors when it comes to use of light.
Other little things make the Nikon worth the extra money is the video function. By no means is it even near the best, but ultimately you want a camera to take photographs, the video is just an added bonus.
I praise the D90 because it simply because it does so much. The only Canon that I know which can really match it blow for blow is the 7D, and that comes in at double the price. I only wish Canon made a enthusiast level camera that delivers what the D90 does.
