The underlying picture quality from the camera is superb. There is a wide dynamic range and noise is not an issue. Even out of focus
Underexposed backgrounds are noise free. Auto white balance is generally good
Except under incasdescent lights. The f...

The editors didn't like
Keep in mind that all of the above is praise for the camera body
Not the lenses. The cheap kit lenses are not good enough for the body. When fitted with a good quality lens you see what the camera can really do.
Pictures could use a little sharpening
Live View autofocus takes a little while The Final Word A solid improvement on the EOS 400D
Canons EOS 450D adds a bucket-load of new features
Abstract: (Note: The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi and EOS 450D are the same model) The last Canon Rebel we reviewed was the XTi back in 2006. Now we have a brand new Rebel XSi and its a beauty. The list of improvements over earlier models is impressive and inclu...
Lownoise sensor raises the bar for entrylevel DSLRs, Loads of JPEG processing control in camera, AF system still among the best, Lots of customizability,
Camera doesn't feel as nice as it is, Revised kit lens still not so hot, Live view may or may not be useful, Default processing not as vibrant as some competitors, Canon Rebel XSi
Expectations for the XSi were admittedly high, and hence the opportunities for Canon to come up short in the court of public opinion were numerous. In spite of this high bar, the XSi will unquestionably win converts to Canon with its (still) excellent...
Abstract: Four and a half years have passed since the first affordable digital SLR from Canon; the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). In that time we have witnessed two further iterations (the EOS 350D and EOS 400D) leading up to todays fourth generation EOS 450D, wit...
Abstract: The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi is now starting to ship and Ive had the chance to shoot with one for a few hours, so I thought readers might be interested in my first impression of the camera - and the new EF-S 18-55/3.5-5.6IS USM and EF-S 55-250/4...
Abstract: The Digital Rebel XSi’s self cleaning system works by shaking dust particles off of a filter near the image sensor. The dust is then trapped by an adhesive, preventing it from causing further problems. Cleaning is engaged each time the camera is powered up, shut down, or cleaned manually via the \"clean now\" function...
Low maximum ISO setting NillSlightModeratePALPABLEExtreme
The update to the EOS Rebel XTi, the XSi sports a huge 3-inch live view LCD screen, the fastest burst mode on a Rebel to date (3.5 fps for up to 53 JPEGs and 6 RAWs). We were disappointed by the relatively low maximum ISO setting of ISO 1600, but the...
Abstract: Whenever a new camera is released the inevitable question is "Should I get A, B or C", or sometimes "Should I upgrade from A to B"? Well, this time is no different. Im sure there will be lots of people asking "Should I get a Rebel XTi, XSi or 40D" ...
Good handling and image quality, Decent viewfinder and accurate Live View, Kit includes stabilised lens, PC remote control software supplied.
Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A350, Screen fixed in position, unlike A350, Some may find it too small and light, Tempting to upgrade further to EOS 40D.
As the successor to the best-selling DSLR of the last 18 months, there’s no doubt Canon’s new EOS 450D / Rebel XSi will shift by the bucket-load. There’s equally no doubt Canon has made many improvements over the earlier 400D / XTi which...
Abstract: Well, for those waiting for a new EOS 5D replacement, no news so far. Looks like well be waiting until the fall. However Canon have released info on a new Digital Rebel, The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, also known as the EOS 450D Its no surprise t...
