Xsi Rebel – Exceed Expectations
I have been talking for a while now about upgrading from the SLR to the DSLR. I think my wife finally had enough of me debating with myself of when to make the jump so she did on my behalf. I am an amateur photographer so can only speak from that viewpoint. So far I have been very impressed by the quality of the shots.
I have been able to use my EOS lenses and the only thing they lack is image stabilization. We have shot everything from close up birds to landscapes to Pelican’s fishing.
For those wanting to make the jump to DSLR then this is a good camera. For those already using a DSLR then do your homework to decide if this is a big enough advancement or wait till the next one comes along.
XSi Rebel – New Camera
This camera is awesome. I have taken so many pictures already I can’t even count. The quality is beyond my expectations. The owners manual is written very clearly and is easily understood.I would recommend this camera to all my friends. My lenses from my canon slr from 20 years ago also fit it so I am doubly able to take pictures.
XSi Rebel – Great Camera for First Time DSLR Users!
This is the first REAL camera I have ever had, and I am very happy with it. It is very simple to open up and start taking pictures with. It has basic modes that figure out the settings for you, and then creative modes where you can modify the different variables to your liking once you learn how to use the camera that way. I recommend reading David Busch’s book on this specific camera before using it. It really helps you learn how to use the camera, and it also serves as a great manual. This is a sweet camera, and if you are not a professional photographer then I think this kit will have everything you need to take your picture taking to the next level.
XSi Rebel – Good for a Beginner
I am a complete photography amateur…I take a lot of pictures of passable quality. I decided that I wanted to learn to take better photos, did my home work and decided that the Canon Rebel was the best for me. I haven’t so much gone by the book as I have experimented with different features. The camera is user friendly, so I can figure out what I want and need to do quickly. The bottom line is that my still amateur photography has improved drastically because of this camera, and the camera itself has encouraged me to experiment with photography. Great quality has led to great fun!

On Photography $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles On Photography is a 1977 collection of essays by Susan Sontag. It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and presentday role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography. Among these, she contrasts Diane Arbuss work with that of Depressionera documentary photography commissioned by the Farm Security Administration. She also explores the history of American photography in relation to the idealistic notions of America put forth by Walt Whitman and traces these ideas through to the increasingly cynical aesthetic notions of the 1970s, particularly in relation to Arbus and Andy Warhol.
