have you considered picking up a really nice condition 40D/50D off the forum...? IMO they have much better control layout than the Rebel series, and can be had used for about the same price!

Well I asked my mom about it and she thought it might be a good idea if I upgraded and gave my XSi to him. She said she might even pitch in a little money to help with it... :)

The T1i sounds like an interesting idea though.

definitely an interesting idea

If your dad has big hands maybe a 30D/40D/50D would be better. The XSi and XS are almost identical in size and weight.

XSi
129 x 98 x 62 mm
(5.1 x 3.9 x 2.4 in)
524 g (1.2 lb)

XS
126 x 98 x 62 mm
(5.0 x 3.9 x 2.4 in)
502 g (1.1 lb)

Adding a grip would help bulk up the camera for those big hands.


There is a fine line between "hobby" and "obsession"
