Canon Rebel XSi Reviewed: Quicker image processing, faster frames

Canon-Rebel-XSi Canon Rebel XSi’s prestige lies in a new Digic III processor, higher 3.5 fps frame rate, a larger viewfinder, back of the camera dominating 3-inch LCD, quicker auto focus, a bundled 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 lens with optical image stabilization and the inclusion of Live View.

The good: Switch to SDHC memory. Relatively low noise at high ISO settings. New battery with 50% more endurance.

The bad: ISO tops out at 1600. Plastic body seems too plasticy. ISO in only full stop increments. Lacks the useful HELP mode of its major competitors. A tad bit pricey.

The bottom line: The Canon Rebel XSi delivers, among many good things, quicker image processing, faster frame rates and a broader range of tones with improved color rendition on the final prints.

Price: Starting at $900.
