Canon XSi Review

Just saw that this was up.

Thought I would share it.

Camera Test: Canon EOS Rebel XSi - - PopPhotoMay 2008

"The verdict
On top of all this, the XSi comes with an Optical Image Stabilizer kit lens at no extra cost over the non-IS lens.

This brings us to the $340 question (the difference in price between the XSi and Canon's 40D): What does the higher-priced camera give you? A much tougher metal body with excellent weathersealing, beefier innards including a 150,000-cycle shutter, a smoking burst rate of 6.5 fps, user-changeable focusing screens, and ISO 3200. Shooters who are tough on their stuff will want the 40D, no question.

But, given the capabilities of the Rebel XSi, as well as its price, it's one very sweet deal."
