Canon Rebel XSi Review

Here, the Rebel XSi is pictured with the Nikon D60 and Sony A350, two of its biggest competitors. After reviewing all three of these DSLRs, I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them (See Nikon D60 Review & Sony A350 Review). As noted above, I think the Rebel XSi has the best overall image quality of the three; however, each of them produces great images overall.

There are several factors that should go into your buying decision if you are looking at these cameras. If you’re stepping up from a point and shoot camera, the Sony A350 (or it’s 10 megapixel sibling, the A300) may be a comfortable move due to the convenient and fast autofocus in Live View mode. Alternatively , the lower price tag and light weight of the Nikon D60 may be your cup of tea. I would recommend getting your hands on each of these DSLRs and see how they feel in your hands. The A350 has the best grip and body for my hands; however, the new XSi feels much better than the XT and XTi.

I highly recommend the Rebel XSi for anyone shopping for a DSLR in the entry-level range. It’s a great camera that has a number of advanced features with which you can grow as a photographer. Finally, if you’ve never used a DSLR before, I recommend that you pick up a copy of Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Exposure with your new camera. It is a priceless guide to learning and growing with any DSLR. At around $15, it’ll be the best bang for your buck that you ever spend on photography.
