Canon Rebel XSi = worth buying?


Question Posted Saturday October 18 2008, 7:01 am

I really want a Canon Rebel XSi, but I've only had experience with Nikon Coolpixs. I took great care of them. But they all eventually got lens problems for unknown reasons.

I'm afraid of this happening to the XSi, if I ever get it. I've read that some Canon models get a lens error that can't get fixed. And that you could possibly get it from just keeping the camera in the case because fibers could get into the lens?

Would you recommend some other Canon model? Or maybe some Nikon?

How likely is the photo to be blurry if I set it down to steady it? I've had this problem with all my other cameras. I would have to take at least 200 pictures of one thing and only five would end up clear.

I have never personally used the XSi model, but in my photography class in school, we use the Canon EOS Rebel XTi. We also use a Nikon D60, which is also a great model. I dont own either models, so im not too sure about the lens error, but i dont think we have had this problem in school because they arent stored in camera cases. As far as photos turning out blurry when the camera is set down, I have never had this problem with either model. We have had assignments where we had to set the camera down the steady it for several shots, and I never heard anyone make this complaint.
From what Ive read about the XSi model, it seems to be an upgrade of the Xti model, so I think any of the 3 would be a very worth while purchase!=]
