The lens isn't USM, which means it doesn't have an ultrasonic motor for fast, nearly silent focusing, but the motor isn't disagreeably loud at all, and it's fast enough. The lens mount is about 1.
Subtle, but noticeable : This is what the difference between 3. Frame rate. The Canon XSi's faster frame rate is a minor improvement, but certainly welcome, making it more likely that you'll get a just the right moment from a sequence. The shutter sound is different, but still includes a lot of whirring and stomping, instead of a nice, simple click-click.
Some might prefer the winding sound, but to me it draws too much attention. I doubt most people think about it as much as I do, but for those of you who do, here's a small video. The new lens release button makes it a little easier to change lenses, and while it's hard to get used to a Canon SLR with a small SD card door, it does fit the small body of the Rebel XSi.
It has thrown me on occasion when my standard complement of CF cards was no help after I'd filled an SD card. Now I carry both. Shooting in Live View mode is pretty easy once you get used to it; though focusing by pressing the AE-Lock button is a little cumbersome when shooting from odd angles. I suppose they separated the buttons to avoid the confusion of the mirror going up when you half-press the shutter button.
Surely that would make many users think they'd taken a picture. And in "Live" AF mode, it's a lot slower than some digicams, especially in low light with camera movement, so I'm sure that's why they left AF activation on the AE-Lock button.
As well as it works, I recommend against using the Live View mode as a default shooting method. Use it for fine focusing while shooting from a tripod where you can afford the time to confirm or specify which focus point or area is in use, or when shooting from odd angles, but you get better camera stability when shooting with the camera held to your face than you do holding it out in front of you.
Battery life also drops from to shots when shooting in Live View, so invest in a spare battery if Live View is your thing. There's so much about the XSi that's similar to the XTi that there's not much new to say about the camera shooting experience. It works extremely well, is fun to shoot with, and captures some amazing images.
Live View is just a bonus. Shutter lag with full autofocus is 0. Prefocus shutter lag is 0. And Live View modes, we were unable to test shutter lag inclusive of the autofocus process, because our method depends on pressing one button--the shutter release--to activate the test. But once focus is achieved, both contrast-detect and phase-detect are fast: Full AF contrast detect is 0. It's a shame they're not as fast as the optical viewfinder mode, but the shutter does have to close before it opens for the exposure to work with a CMOS sensor, so that's likely the cause for the delay.
We almost never see such a precise match to the number claimed. With our hard-to-compress torture target, we managed 13 frames before the buffer filled, and it only took five seconds to clear.
In RAW mode, we calculated 3. That's all pretty good for a Rebel moving If you're shooting portraits, a wedding, or a sporting event with RAW, you'll run into the ceiling more often than you'd like; but most users won't notice the frame rate or buffer limitations. Most users would be able to set the camera to ISO 1, and shoot in all settings, especially if the largest they intend to print is an 8xinch photo.
As such, here is my usual ISO 1, comparison table. Look at both images carefully and consider the relative costs before coming to a conclusion. While the XSi looks more grainy, with more chroma noise, that's due to Canon's strategy to maintain more detail in its noise suppression efforts, while Nikon has gotten very good at creating a very smooth image, but they're still losing some detail in the process.
The mosaic image shows a more complex subject, with some tiles doing better with the Canon, others with the Nikon. Our best test of how much noise suppression is doing to mush out detail in an image is the red cloth with the leaf pattern on it. Though it's a little darker, the XSi's image is truer to the actual pattern than the artistic but incorrect rendering with the Nikon D Lighting and contrast are slightly different in each camera, so there's a lot to consider in these crops.
But it's significant that an inexpensive camera like the Rebel XSi can stand up well against a high quality camera costing twice as much; and the D doesn't come with a lens, let alone an image-stabilized one. I think it's also worth comparing the XSi to the megapixel XTi to see what you might be getting in terms of extra detail.
Both cameras by default have their sharpening turned down, so you can actually get a sharper image pixel-for-pixel onscreen, but these are both quite good performers. One more comparison. The lines inside these letters usually do not show up on cameras with resolutions lower than 12 megapixels, as you can see in the XTi shot top right.
The top row shows ISO shots, and the bottom row has ISO 1, shots from each camera, and all are remarkably similar. The Canon 5D looks better than most, but also shows more evidence of sharpening at both settings. The two Nikons do well with the larger letters, but reveal very few lines in the smaller letters, like the L and G in Lager.
Ultimately, again the Canon XSi really does well against these larger, more expensive cameras, so you can expect plenty of detail in your images. Note : We have many more shots for you to peruse on this review's other tabs, including the Optics and Exposure tabs. Good set. A camera with the Rebel name has never carried such sophistication, nor so rich a feature-set. It has all that makes the Rebel XTi great, but with more resolution, live view, a faster frame rate, a new look, and an image-stabilized lens.
It's easy to use as a snapshot camera, yet offers plenty to delve into for more creative uses. Its compatibility with all that the Canon EOS line has to offer strengthens its utility: external flashes, battery grips, and a wide range of lenses can be brought to bear on just about any photographic challenge.
Existing EOS owners will have to invest in a few SD cards and perhaps a couple of new batteries to make the switch, as well as a new battery grip if they already have one, but lenses and flashes are compatible and ready to go. Adding a flash is my first recommendation for better indoor shots, and the Canon EX II will ship in August to meet the need for a light, high-quality bounce flash the EX is just fine too.
Yes, you can get some great shots indoors with the XSi's kit lens and either the pop-up flash or high ISO, but when you add a telephoto lens, or your subject starts moving, you're going to need some extra light. Combined, you'll have a 13x zoom range with a pretty high quality sensor to back it up.
Of course, the Canon Rebel XSi will deliver great photos with just the contents of the kit. That's high praise all by itself. As I said of the XTi, the Canon Rebel XSi is an excellent, take-anywhere, all-purpose digital SLR camera that's great as a second camera for pros, or as a primary camera for anyone else.
It will more than serve, it will make its owner very happy. Canon has another hit. It's also the fastest burst shooter among entry-level dSLRs, snapping 3. The buffer maxes out at six RAW frames, however, so you'll have to move to another class of camera if you take shooting your children's soccer games really seriously. Regardless of the other entries in the XSi's pro and con columns, it delivers hands-down, best-in-class photo quality, surprising given the higher-resolution sensor.
It does tend to underexpose--I rarely use exposure compensation, but bumped it up a stop for many of my shots with the XSi--and you might need to kick the sharpness settings up a little to your taste. But its color accuracy, dynamic range, and consistently good noise profile up to the maximum ISO clearly put this model in front of the pack.
With both built-in and external flash, as well as without, it delivered even exposures, and the lenses rendered extremely good edge-to-edge sharpness. Lori Grunin.

The low-pass filter at the front of the sensor shakes off dust automatically with ultrasonic vibrations, removing dust from the sensor assembly. The EOS Rebel XSi has a new coating on the front surface of the low-pass filter, to increase its resistance to dust sticking to the sensor. A simple test shot of a plain, white object can be taken, using a menu setting. This Dust Delete Data image is analyzed in-camera, and the location and size of any remaining dust is added to any subsequent pictures taken.
This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. Changing a Picture Style setting is almost like a 35mm film user switching from one type of color film to another.

Shooting and Sharing Made Easy. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. It has excellent flash power maximum guide number of ft.
The EX is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. And the EX has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft.
