Great for astrophotography
I love this camera. With the Live View, all I do is hook it up to my laptop, and find a bright star, and magnify the view on the laptop and I can focus in seconds. With the Xti and no Live View, it was a long, painful process that never really focused right. Once focused, I can take several long exposure pictures with no problem. Much less noise at higher ISO’s than the Xti. I was able to get great pictures, first night out.
Great Camera!
After countless hours of research and comparisons, I finally decided to purchase the Canon Xsi. I’ve only had it a month, but in that time I’ve taken over 3000 photos and am very pleased with the results. Against the Canon S5 IS point and shoot that I had previously, this camera wins hands down. I agree that the kit lens isn’t the best lens in the universe, but it is a great starter lens. Also sometimes in low light situations the camera’s AF does focus on something other than the subject, but using manual focus fixes the problem. I just recently purchased a converter and attached a spotting scope to the camera, making the scope into a 1000-4000mm lens. The camera handled it beautifully and with the bulb function and a tripod and remote switch, I have gotten some excellent moon photos. Overall this is a great camera for those considering a first Dslr, and it is quite a step up in photo quality from even the high-zoom point and shoots.
