I've tried out the XSi today and it's really nice if you're considering it. I have a post up with a pic sample, but I'm hoping that I have more time next week to try it out outdoors and post some more pics with comparisons.
fillet1970 wrote in post #5309292It is a really light camera, much lighter and smaller than your brother's 20D. I’ve seen numerous example shots with the kit lens on dpreview.com I’m looking forward to the performance of this camera.
pointerDixie214 wrote in post #5309296I upgraded from the XTi to the 30D and I am wondering how much fun it is going to be with the extra weight... oh well. I am sure you will enjoy your Rebel... Personally, the extra weight won’t really feel like it’s significantly noticeable until you put a hefty lens (e.g. 24-70L) on it. My brother has one, and I can see how the weight balance would feel odd on a lighter body. I was tossing up the idea b/w the 30D and the XSi for a while, but there were enough features on the XSi to sway me in that direction, especially the weight factor. I can already see myself moving to the xxD series after using my brother’s camera, but I feel that I can wait on that and focus more on technique and buying high quality glass.

I’ll look tonight but I doubt I have any. It was difficult to get the shot w/ very low ambient light (hence the blown out window). I was rushing my shots cuz the tour bus was waiting for me. If anything it’s just an excuse to go back for better lighting
