  • Hahaha! He said Mega Pickles!

  • LMFAO!

    Did he say Mega Pickles on purpose?!

  • Does this take video?

  • @plannine10 it does not take video.

  • how can i take videos with it

    

  • I've had this camera for 3 years now, Its a wonderful starter camera. Quite noisy when taking a picture. But if you're scared about the 3.5 frames per second not being good enough, i've gotten great action shots with this camera. Great camera for beginners. And i'm selling it on craigslist right now (:

  • Does this camera have the fisheye lense? Like can I buy it apart? & if I can, what's it called?

  • @MarieDope1 This is an SLR, if Canon sells an EF or EFS lens that you want, it will fit. For instance EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye.

  • @42Janee Maybe it's on Auto mode. Live view does not work on auto mode.

  • does this take video to???

  • @xxanthonyxx8 No, check out the Canon T1i, T2i or T3i

  • @42Janee you have to enable live view

  • @christian2182 how can i wnable live view on mine it doesnt work i bought it brand new 

  • oooooo i would like to have one. time to start saving up!!

  • **Thank you**

    Review & more NSW Buy Zone Digital Cameras and New Technology Camcorder camera-buy.labelsalestrade

  • Megapickles!

  • WTF? This "perfect for beginners" shit really annoys me. It wasn't long ago the "pro level" cameras had shitty 6mp sensors and maxed out at 400 ISO. Make no mistake, the 450d and any subsequent Rebel camera will be capable of professional results. Just ad glass and talent.

  • @djcondra agreed. I hate it when they label "pro" or "consumer" level on these cameras when it should really be applied to the user behind the camera.

  • @djcondra I guess it's "perfect for beginners" because of the cheap (for a DSLR) price. It's just pricing IMO, but obviously talent and good glass is just the key for a good photo.

  • i still don't understand the cop factor.

  • Did I hear "Mega pickles" at 0:22? hahaha!

  • the live view can also give you a preview of what the photo will look like

  • I dont understand the zoom thing. What is the zoom on this? I have a nikon l110 coolpix.. and it says its 15x zoom.. but he's talkin about mm etc and im lost Lol. Can someone tell me what the zoom is on this? or how you find out the zoom on any camera?

  • @steffie37106 The 15x thing is for a point and shoot camera. For a digital slr on the other hand, its the strength of the lens which is measured in mm which is the focal distance of the atttached lens. Infact the camera itself cant zoom anything in the case of a dslr, its the attached lens.

  • @ajaybirchahal Ok thanks very much for explaining.. i think i get it now.. So the higher up the mm on the lens, the bigger the zoom? Is that right?lol.

  • @steffie37106 You are welcome Steffie, yeah as lens' focal length increases its power increases as well

  • @steffie37106 depends on what lens you put on it. This camera is not going to have an auto zoom like on a point and shoot.

  • His voice is sooo annoying.

  • megapickels stronger than mega pixels

  • 0:52  NICE PHONE .......... NICE HOODY DID SHE GET THAT AT GAP??

    i feel like im missing something

  • @HannahHartleyTait no :( you may want to take a look at the 500d or 550d

  • Cool video. I'm just learning myself, I've found a lot of helpful tips at thephotographyclinic (.) com

  • Whats the sound recording like on this?

  • Umm soon i will be posting a video on my channel because my dad found a professional camera in his taxi and it say's rebel xti soo then i looked it up and it looks similar to this one!!!! if its not please tell what it is!!!! by the way does this make videos???? because that's the main reason i want to use it for!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @xXWildreptileXx You sound like you need a camcorder rather than a photography camera my friend.

  • how much is this in canada?

  • Yay mega pickles!!!

  • i got mine today for my birthday, and i am really pleased with it, it is a great camera.

  • this or nikon d3000

  • @ihateyaacov this

  • SOLD

  • its dah sexeh camera

  • dammit my summer job need to start now FUCK ten inches of snow

  • is it the same size as the canon xs or bigger?

  • By time you figure out the settings the battery would be dead.....

     Im thinking about getting the

    Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera

    Great Review 5/5 Star....

  • what about the t2i muahahahahaha

  • I honestly do not understand the concept of liveview on a DSLR. IMO, the biggest pro of a DSLR is the isolation that the viewfinder offers you so can focus exclusively on your shot. Having liveview just completely kills that isolation.

  • i actually find the concept to b quite ingenious. I feel a lot of people get a DSLR w/o liveview and feel obligated to purchase a crap point and shoot. Now, you can choose how u want to take your pictures, whether it's for the detail of one particular target or a simple group photo or w/e.

  • I guess people all have their different priorities :) I had a P&S before getting a DSLR, and in the end I ended up selling my P&S simply because I never used it after I got used to my XTi.

  • For $599 is a fucken good Camera

  • my big brother also got it today for his photography FIELD!!i saw this it is a awesome camera!!!

  • ITS LOGAN

  • rebel xs or xsi?

    first d-slr, needs to be good thats why i chose canon. i need it for school

  • The XSi is a higher tier camera than the XS, so if you can afford it, go XSi.

    Keep in mind though that if you're just looking at entry level cameras, both Nikon and Canon will be great, the only difference being lens mounts and grips. Both offer very similar performance.

    Because of that, I highly recommend you go to a camera store and physically hold both cameras from both Nikon and Canon, and simply go with the company that offers you a more comfortable grip.

  • Thank you... Now i need to decide between Rebel XSi and Nikon D5000

  • Well, like my comment said, both cameras are entry-level cameras, so they're more or less the same functionally. Therefore, the only factor that should sway you into buying one way or another is the body itself, so you should try holding both bodies before deciding :)

    Nikon and Canon both have extremely extensive lens choices, and both are very popular companies. You can't go wrong either way.

  • thnx

  • I just got one 2 days ago...So much to learn!

  • MEGA PICKLES!!!

  • i have 12 MEGA PICKLES

  • Puta

  • well ,,,is there any option to put it on video mode?or it does come with video recording or no?

  • Unfortunately, no

  • I just got one, loving it. My 1st D-SLR and I am loving it.

  • same here i got 1 today. i was so happy i curled up in a ball and cried tears of joy

  • @cameraman40 LMao,I want one so bad

  • That would be cool if the digital ones, spit out pictures, like the old Polaroid.

  • Getting one for Xmas. Should have it Tuesday by the latest. Excited to shoot with it!

  • MEGA PICKLES

  • 0:22

    mega pickles lol

  • hahaha! mega pickles. LMAO

  • @erpoioloco  Lmfao

  • @erpoioloco LMAO! xD

  • omg the highlight feature, i need that too, i like taking pictures with the sun in it..idk y ...i want that camera SOOOOOOOOO badly

  • I WANT IT, did he say "learn" photography I NEED IT THEN...im learning..on my own, like a normal teenager who wants to be a professional photographer

  • just bought myself this camera yesterday. im having so much fun already

  • camera looks effing cool! (:

    still deciding between this or the nikon d90.

    i dont know which one will give me what i want. im into micro, people, city-scapes, action, artsy, and nature shots. well pretty much i take pics of anything lol.

    any suggestions? (:

  • You'll like the Canon more. The lens and accessory selection for Nikon is nothing compared to Canon. As far as the XS goes, I'd recommend the XSi. For a couple hundred more bucks, you get a great all around sub $1k camera. As far as the kind of shots you do, you pretty much described every field of photography, albeit general. Canon's lenses and the third-party counterparts that fit the EF/EF-S mount will give you good price/performance. Get an XS if you just want basic, but I'd still say XSi.

  • Canon XSi

  • Definitely Canon. I've been researching this choice for years!

    They are about evenly matched in features and performance. The D90 has the edge in low light and burst mode, but is much more expensive.

  • Im new to this whole Photography Stuff, and What makes this camera so special than the others?

  • Would you suggest the Rebel XS or Rebel XSi?

    Thanks!

  • i'm thinking about the sam question but i am thinking more and more the xsi cuz you know how there is always something new and 12.2 megapixel is alot ...for a couple of years

  • I just bought this camera at Walmart last night. They apparently aren't stocking it anymore and had reduced the price to $333. USD! I was gob smacked since it was originally over $700.

  • Whaaat the fuccck! I just paid £500 for it, or around $7-800

  • oh yeah, cant wait for mine

  • hey, what's the diff between the EOS models and the Rebel ones?

  • i think the rebel is the american version with lesser things on the cam.

    the eos 450d is the version for europe and japan and so. thats expensiver that the rebel xsi because the american model has lesser things.. i dont know so good. xD

  • does it come with a panoramic mode?

  • I've owned 5 Canon cameras since the late 70's. Each one has been flawless in workmanship and ease of use. I just bought the XSi 12MP this week after trying a 2007 8MP XT on a loan from a friend. The XSi really compensates for my stupidity and gives me pictures that I can't believe I even took. As I get more used to it, and the technology it comes with, I hope to be on top of my photography game before too long.

    I also purchased a 75mm-300 lens too..!!

    Way to Canon!.....

  • Thanks for this review, as I plan to buy this camera for Paintball photography soon.

  • THis is the camera im going to buy once I get the money. i have a kodak z712 IS right now:)

  • the red eye doesint work....

  • how much is it?

  • This guy has a cool ass job must get alot of free stuff =D

  • Would you recommend this camera to a beginner getting into photography?

    Note I'm looking for a professional grade camera that can take great sharp quality pictures,I'm not a professional but I enjoy the art and would like to get started,I'm looking to take serious creative images what would you recomend?

  • Yes, I have this camera and it is a very good learning camera for beginners, such as myself. It takes sharp, crisp pictures with much ease. I am still learning from it, and I have had it for a while. If you are looking to take a different path, you could also go for the Nikon D60, which is another entry-level DSLR camera and it is very similar to the EOS Rebel Xsi.

  • Thank you for the reponse,I have another question,are all canon lense compatiable with this camera? I'm really looking to take close up pictures so Im guessing I'd need a good macro lense,do you know of any that fit perfectly with this camera ?

  • Im pretty sure that all of the Cannon lenses are compatible with this camera but i am not certain. I have a telephoto lens from Tamron which fits and works perfectly. I think that you could use some other Tamron lenses with this camera as well

  • Whats your limit? (financial wise) ... This is a Great Camera to start with... Message me if you have any questions

  • Well financial wise I'm willing to drop 800 to 900 and maybe 1000 if I have too and thats only for a body,As for the lens Im willing to spend up too 500 for a quality piece of glass thats pretty much my budget...what do you think of the Nikon D5000 ?I've been leaning towards buying it..

  • honestly you don;t that video.YES great to have but not needed if your in it for photography... i would buy the one in this video body only or the XTi..the XTi is abouy 600 Body only and a GREAT camera to begin with and the rest of the money buy a Great lens instead of a 500 dollar lens Trust me Lens Makes a Huge Difference a Canon 24-105L IS USM on the Xti Would be a Great Deal Trust me... and you might have money left for a Flash or other accessories...Message me for any other questions...

  • I own one of these, and seem to be in the same position as you. I highly recommend it, is a fantastic camera with amazing photos of high quality, and with the internet you can get most of your questions answered. Good luck!

  • I would like to point out that it is not true that you have to multiply 18-55 by 1.6 to find the actual mm of the lens because it is an EF-S lens which compensates for the crop sensor

  • I just got that camera. I cant find anything wrong with it yet. Takes some great shots. Even if your just messing around taking random pics, they will come out great. Battery life is excellent. I never use the live view, cause i find it hard to get depth in pictures. If your looking to get one, get it.

  • i got an eos rebel g film camera from ebay for only $75.00!

  • u got what? for $75?

    if u got an rebel XSI than is something about $750 , and if u got an Rebel T1i that is something about $1100.. i guess..

  • seriously! it was a steal! but its film.but its good!

  • ooohh.. you were saying about a film-camera. sorry. [sorry for my bad english.. i'm from romania]

  • whats live view? can someone explain to me? i dont get it

  • New technology has enabled SLR users to use the LCD screen when taking shots.. This is called live view. It was always viewfinder and i guess still is the best way to take a shot.

  • OMGitzKathayy, live view is where the image is shown on the LCD. It is the same shot that you see through the View-finder, however, it is on the LCD instead. so if you are in a tight spot and can't look through the view-finder, you can still see the image that you will get.

  • @TheMrWestwood how can i enable the view function so i could use it

  • i need to deside between this or the Sony α DSLR-A300X

    I REALY NEED HELP!!!!

  • I'm in the same situation as you. I went to talk to a professional photographer and he said to get the Rebel. He's kina weary of Sony 'cause they're new. What did you get?

  • i know im buying one this weekend

  • 12 mega pickles ?

  • how mcuh

  • about 740$ on Sears.

  • Why does allways things have different names in the US? why call it REBEL XSI, dont u americans understand EOS 450D? Is it too long? And look at that box, it looks stupid.

  • I know what you mean. I hate Canon's naming scheme for North America. They only change the name for their lower end dslr's, how about the pro camera's? Why not change them all to letters so they're in unison? It's stupid. I much rather have 450D than xsi written on my camera.

  • i swear he says 12 megapickle

  • lol

  • Comment removed

  • I had the Rebel xti and took it to a store to have it repair, They lost my camera on the way and they gave me the New Canon rebel Xsi.. as a replacement and love it like crazy. my husband had bought it for him but I dont let him touch it..lol recomend this camera in a heartbeat.

  • i want one of those so bad..

  • my hp camera has 13.1 mega pixel. usb is the modern way of using this year.

  • HP Point & Shoot vs. any D-Slr makes me slightly chuckle.

  • ooh yeah... i have a 6 mp sanyo... a high end p and s that's 4 mp beats it easily.....

  • Well how about this. You go on Google and on here and you find me one and we can sit here and compare the stats all day. Think about ISO performance is dark light conditions, RAW shooting for processing, and most importantly rate of continous shooting. When all those stats match or exceed then i'll be convienced.

  • i'm just saying point and shoots sucks especially sanyos.

  • U IGNORANT! hp is the best!

  • lol Do you even know what "ignorant" means? HP aren't "the best", as you claim. If they were the best, people would be dropping their Canons, Nikons, and Sonys for an HP camera. You're the ignorant one.

  • This ones 12 megapickles LOL

  • haha megapickles

    silly

  • just got mine yesterday!! On my way to test it outdoor.. :)

  • Just got mine....But parents wont let me use it until my birthday...!, So i am really anxious and frustrated.

  • lol.... my boyfriend didn't let me use my camera until xmas - so I know how you feel/felt.

    I hope you birthday has come/passed/or atleast coming up soon.

    Happy Bday.

  • ya ive been using it for a couple of weeks now, its amazing the photos ive been able to capture .

  • I can't wait until mine comes! They only had silver though.

  • Comment removed

  • He is soooooooooooooooooo

    talkative!

  • it rock's

  • Just got mine a few day's ago! It's a nice Piece I'm new to the SLR scene! I love it!

  • I did see the comment before me about the Nikon D60, but what would be better overall?

    What I mean is like everything, not just what lens you can get for the camera.

    Plz respond back to this quickly, I need it, I'm getting either this or a D60 in a week or even tommorow, so plz respond quickly.

    Thanks

  • im about ready to move up from my kodak 110 camera. would this be a good choice?

  • did you not watch the video?

  • You are not funny

  • should i get this or the nikon d60

  • If you want more option on Lens get Canon

  • get canon! Waaay more lenses and great quality.

  • It is true this is an amazing camera.

  • Comment removed

  • Go ask McDonalds and see if they have mega pickles...

  • HAHAHAHA

    i want 12.2 mega pickles jk

  • i want this :D

  • great camera! i have one and love it!

  • the xsi is one of and if not the best around!

  • I'm looking for something like this, except that it can take video...any suggestions?

  • There are only TWO digital SLR systems that can take video at the moment: The Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D Mark II. Both of these are mid-range DSLRs. The Nikon is roughly $1,000 (body only) and the Canon is $2,700 (body only).

  • just got the camera and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is probably one of the best reviews I've seen for the XSi. He's thorough, shows sample pics and explains the lenses.

  • we'll Logan himself is a photographer... so, it's suits him well to review this... and yes I agree with his review... I bought this camera last year and It's really a good camera for aspiring photographers!

  • 0:23 ....this one is 12 mega-pickle

  • 10 seconds into this vid and i sure as hell cant be assed wasting another precious 8mins 50 seconds on this crap......who is this flog?

  • Compared to the d700 and 1d it is a beginner. He's not saying everyone that uses it is a beginner but it's classified as one.

  • no, its not a beginner camera, because its better than most or all even "beginner" cameras

  • It is a beginner slr. Plain and simple. It doesn't mean it's not a great camera, I own one and love it. Basically all crop frame slr's are considered beginner, or start up slr's.

  • highlight tone priorety, live view, 3.0 inch screen and a 12.2 mp sensor are hardly beginner features imo. yes, crop factor is an issue for some, but since I shoot mostly sports, its a blessing more than a curse.

  • Features are just features. You don't really need them even though they come in handy. But I don't understand why you are arguing. I have the camera and love it. I'm also not saying you have to be a beginner to use it. I'm just stating that it was intended to be sold to people just starting up because of the nice features and affordable price.

  • what im saying is its in between the realm of beginner-advanced. its almost the perfect intermediate level camera. thats what im saying

  • This Camera is good for beginners, but can also easily be used for semiprofessional photography.

  • Yeah, I just took it too personally :)

  • "just show off that memory card":))

    5:19

  • Hi,

    how can i make the cammera stamp the date on picture EOS Rebel XSi

    Thanks

  • this guy is such a huge tool.... "they named it after me" suuuuure they did douchebag. The camera is great but tigerdirect is stupid for letting this idiot do their reviews.
