Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens & EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Deluxe Accessory Kit (Electronics) newly tagged "camera"

The Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera incorporates improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor which ensures that the fine details and natural colors of the images are optimally recorded, and also manages the camera’s efficient energy consumption and high-speed signal processing performance. Its newly designed 12.2 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor employs large micro-lenses over each pixel to reduce noise and enhance sensitivity up to ISO 1600, while the 14-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion process means the Rebel XSi camera records up to 16,384 colors per channel and allows the camera to produce images with finer and more accurate gradations of tones and colors. The camera also incorporates the Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise Reduction functions (previously found only on Canon’s Professional Digital SLRs) and the camera is equipped with Canon’s Auto Lighting Optimizer technology, which corrects image brightness and contrast automatically to prevent underexposure with backlit scenes. Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: Canon’s latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens: An economical DC motor driven AF zoom, with the same optical system, construction, and exterior as its USM sister model. 8GB Deluxe Accessory Kit: Loaded with extremely useful accessories.

So far its been great. For my first DSLR camera, its awesome. a little tweaks here and there. I’m taking very good pictures and almost no post processing done. I’ve had a Powershot and after taking picture, I would edit them, then post the up in my Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/skyp3r/) account. But now, I’m getting better quality pictures straight from the camera. I definitely recommend this cam to anyone as a starter in photography

I’m new to the SLR world and a VERY novice photographer. With this camera it doesn’t matter. I have taken great shots of my children play soccer and baseball using the sports setting and have gotten excellent action shots that I never dreamed I could get. The package with the zoom lens, tripod …. was the best value around. This is the best purchase I’ve made all year.
