Rating: - Love it!!!!! I got this camera the day before Halloween, about 3 days before I expected it. I started using it right away. It is wonderful! I use it EVERYDAY. I have the original film Rebel from the early 90's. This one is even easier to use. Perfect for a beginner or a not-so-beginner, like me. I've had friends who had trouble with the Nikon DSLR - they have all returned theirs - and are now considering the Rebel. Everyone tries my camera and loves it. No regrets on this buy. Rating: - Not completely satisfied I use a Sony and Nikon digital cameras, as well as the Canon. The Canon takes wonderful photos, but using the Canon software is cumbersome. it will not work with my HP desktop, but will with my laptop. However, I do not like the Canon software ease of opoeration. If I knew the difficulty of using it, prior to purchase, it would have seriously influenced my non-purchase of this camera. Rating: - Great Camera! I love this camera! I'm still learning all the neat tricks that can be done with it. Rating: - Satisfied This is our first DSLR. We took time to investigate the top brands and models. In the end we came to decide on the Xsi and we have not regretted it. It has been a great camera and we are very pleased with the ease of use and the flexibility the camera allows.
