Introduction: The Canon EOS Rebel XSi is one of the newest and smallest DSLRs to enter the market that is compatible with all types of Canon’s EF & EF-S lenses and accessories. True to its name, this camera carries several new rebellious features that were installed for the first time in an EOS camera. Compatible with SD/SDHC cards and more comfortable to carry around due to its less weight and good grip, this camera offers 3.5 fps shooting and a kit lens with embedded Image Stabilization technology.

Features:  One of the interesting features of the camera is My Menu feature. With this, you can create a customized menu consisting of the important controls that you use often while shooting. To deal with the poor lighting conditions, the EOS offers Auto Optimization feature that helps you in reducing the darkness of your pictures without affecting the brighter portions. This feature can be used in multiple shooting modes to accentuate the image quality.

Pros:

• The Canon has upgraded its LCD from its earlier models; now the 3” LCD offers 170 degrees wide angle view of 230k resolution along with the Live View function. With the Live View feature you can view and modify the zoom as and when required by seeing straight away from the bright 3” LCD.
• The EOS Integrated Cleaning system keeps the camera clean from dust saving you from the hassle of cleaning your lens often. Whenever you switch on/off the camera, this cleaning system gets initiated and does its job in a spotless manner. The Self-cleaning sensor unit along with the Dust Delete Data Detection feature ensures that your lens always remains in a dust-free condition and deliver impeccable pictures that shows no trace of impurities.
• Amazingly, the batteries last for extremely longer periods.

Cons:

• The maximum ISO offered on this camera is just 1600 against the normal range of 3200 offered by the several other cameras.
• This camera does not offer any built-in wireless flash support.
• It gets annoyingly noisy while dealing with the EF lens.

Pricing Range: Get in touch with your ‘rebellious’ side by buying this camera for just 530$-750$ in Silver & Black!

Final Verdict: Apart from the fact that the EOS Rebel XSi is a moderate upgrade from its earlier Rebel versions, there are not many features or special controls that deserve our special attention. When you consider the price of ESO along with its features, the device is tad expensive than the other cameras in the market. If, quality is what you are seeking, do not think twice for owning this device!
