Beginner's DSLR

Review by Arit Ghosh, 2010-08-23

It really is a beginner's DLSR, mainly because the features reflect the basic DSLRs such as ISO speed and white balance, spot metering etc. but still is under par when compared to the EOS 50Ds for example. But is complete value for money if you are looking to get started in photography, which I believe is more about taking and framing a picture with good composition skills. Once that has been accomplished you can aim for better equipment. But all said, it IS a DSLR.. when you want to take that awesome shot, you can always get your awesome lenses which is such a huge segment in DSLR photography. So I would definitely recommend the EOS 450D to anyone starting out with some amateur photography. Go for it!

P.S. +ves - Lighter, good display, ease of use, cost
-ves - ISO speed max - 1600, not a higher end DSLR

Great for beginners.

Review by BuyBuyBuy!, 2010-08-22

I'm happy with the camera, I purchased the body only so I could get a nicer lens. I also added a battery grip to the camera because the body is a little small to hold when you have a large lens on it. I also put on a hand strap to help prevent hand shaking, which also helps out a lot with the strain of holding this heavy camera. It has been an easy to use camera, I purchased a DVD about the Rebel XSi just so I could learn what all of the buttons do faster than it takes to read the manual. I found it to be extremely useful, since this is my first DSLR. I've had the camera for over a year now, and am happy with it, but it doesn't come with any extras. All of those little extras add up quickly, and this can be an expensive hobby! I purchased an eye piece extender, which is great. I think it should have come standard with the camera. The only complaint I have is that the LCD screen does not work the same way a point and shoot does. I was unable to take any photos in focus. Once I stated using the viewfinder I had much better success. I had gotten really spoiled using the LCD screen on my point and shoot, so it took a little time to get used to the viewfinder again.

Decent camera with good value for money

Review by Amod K Dani, 2010-08-22

I had used analogue Canon EOS rebel 2000 SLR camera earlier. That made using this camera very easy. The camera is lightweight (for an SLR camera), easy to use and has excellent battery life. Picture quality is quite good for outdoor as well as indoor pictures, though with automatic mode indoor pictures tend to be a little overexposed. For an amateur who wants to try out a digital SLR camera its excellent value for money.

My first DSLR

Review by Midnight Show, 2010-08-20

I won't go into a detailed review, as there are many many more that have better technical understanding on this than me that you can read.

I had only used a point and shoot, ultra compact, type camera before getting the XSi. I wanted to upgrade to something that would be easy to figure out, and would take great pictures even if I just set it to automatic. I am not dissapointed, I can set the XSi to automatic and still come out with better pictures than I'm used to.

Half the fun however is playing with the manual settings, you can do so much. I like to do a lot of hiking so most of my pictures are in well lit, outdoors settings, but they've all been great so far. I don't have any background DSLR experience so I have nothing to compare the XSi to, but I can't say I have any complaints on the XSi, it's a great first DSLR.
