Canon users... is it worth the money to by the Canon Rebel XSI rather than the Canon Rebel XS?

It's about a $130 price upgrade.

Any info is appreciated!

- The reason I'm buying from Target is because we have about $500 in gift cards we received as wedding gifts, plus a 10% off coupon. I planned our wedding since this time last year and that is one reason why I've been gone to long!

From the research I gathered, there is HARDLY a difference between the XSi and the XS. I have the XS and LOVE it! It's all about the lens you get anyways!

Can anyone give me a review on the Nikon D3000? Or share any photos they have taken with it.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the info!

Wow, I've been away for a week and come back to find so much great new info. This is such an amazing thread! Megan, I started out writing everything down, too. But after a while there was so much great info that I just come back and re-read again & again. I can't wait until I can get my new camera!

I got the Nikon D90 with the 18-200 zoom lens. It doesn't end though. Now, I'm looking at lenses. Next up is a macro/micro. Decisions, decisions. Found out they're good for portraits too.

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if some of you that have this lens can give me some pointers. I haven't had alot of time to mess around with it but I go the 75-300 lens & I have tried to take pics and it all looks like a big blur when I zoom in on something. What is the best setting to have the camera on & what exactly am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

That's the setup I want to get to start with. Do you have the lens yet? How are you liking it?

QVC is now offering the D90 on FIVE monthly payments!!!

But, they're temporarily out of stock.

I got the camera body last Wednesday, & the lens on Friday. So, I don't have a lot of experience with it. So far, so good.

The only difference that i can see is the XSi can take larger pictures like for a 10X14, and the XS is up to 8x10. 10 megapixels on the XS and 12 on the XSi. I wish now that I would have gotten the XSi and also the second lens that they were offering at a discount when I bought the camera.

I got mine from amazon, it was cheaper there.

I also just learned the the XSi has a wireless remote feature, whch the XS does not.

I was not paying attention when I ordered the wiereless remote. Thankfully it was not a ton of money. If anyone can use it I will send it to you. It works with the Nikon D40 and D70 also, along with several other models

Well.. I went with the Canon XS. I figured I'd put the money into a nicer lense since that seems to be pretty important.

I have no idea how to use this thing. Time to open up the instruction book!

The instruction book is written in photoese and I found it very hard to understand the whys.

I posted a couple of websites earlier, that I found to be very helpful, and what one did not cover, the other one did. The one site also has a forum. You can ask questions..

Good luck and have fun with it.
