i don't have anything to compare rebel xs to as this is my first dslr, all i can say is that i am happy with my decision of buying it instead of rebel xsi because i was able to save a couple of bucks for lenses and accesories. i am not a pro but using canon rebel xs makes me feel like one. for photography enthusiasts who are planning on switching from a compact point and shoot to a dslr, canon rebel xs is a good option! -

This is my first dSLR, and I'm really satisfied. I've read some of the reviews the pro's have made regarding this camera. Sure, if you are a pro, I can see why you might want something with more features. But for the average Joe, this camera is all you'll need. Within minutes of taking it out of the box, I was snapping off beautiful shots. Bought it on sale (saved $50 off the base price and got an additional $350 in free gear thrown in). So from a bang-for-your buck perspective, this camera ranks high. A friend bought the same camera and is equally impressed. -

This is great camera. It has to be one of the better dollar for dollar DSLR cameras out there. For anyone who is a semi-serious amateur photographer, you simply can not go wrong here. The question becomes if you want to chalk up the extra $200 for the XSI. I personally do not think it is worth it. The only major differences is a jump from 10 megapixels to 12 and a 3" LCD instead of the 2.5". Personally, I would rather put that money toward a nice lens.
This is not the greatest camera out there but that means you are not paying large amounts either. I have nothing bad to say about it so far. It is easy to use and it is a great value. If you are thinking about getting into the world of the DSLR then strongly consider this camera. I would also strongly suggest that you purchase some sort of handbook on how to get the most out of your camera.
As a side note, I also strongly suggest that you lean towards Canon when deciding on a DSLR. I say this because I believe that Canon makes the best lenses out there. I know that some lenses are compatible with separate brands, but it just makes sense to work with the same brand. -

I bought this camera because I grew more and more frustrated with or point & shoot camera's capabilities. I wanted something that would take great pictures of our kids playing sports and be as easy to use as a point & shoot. I listened to a friend who told me to save the few bucks on this over the XSI and get an additional zoom lens. Canon hit the mark with this one. -
