Canon EOS Rebel XSi: Pricey - No Is & Wireless Flash
Why is Canon the only DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera manufacturer that makes silver colored models? I like silver colored DSLRs. They look more appealing & sleek to me rather than the same old black colored models. Canon has released its new silver colored EOS Rebel XSi. It includes an Auto Focus Live View, something that Canon was reluctant to incorporate in their older models. The most significant advancements in the EOS Rebel XSi are the 12.2 megapixels effective CMOS sensor, DIGIC III processor, Auto Focus Live View, & 3.5 frames per second continuous shooting capability. Did I mention the model comes in a silver version too?

Single-shot, continuous, and auto-switching AF with fore/aft and across-the-frame tracking. Sensitive down to EV -2 (at ISO 100, f/1.4, tested). Live-view AF uses either the 9-point AF system with momentary flip down of the mirror, or contrast-detection AF on the sensor anywhere in the frame.

Street price: $800, body only; $900 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Canon EF-S IS lens. The Canon EOS Rebel XSi has an advantage over the Nikon D60 which is being able to auto-focus with older (non-AF-S) lenses. Unless you do not fall into the category of DSLR camera users listed below, you may want to skip buying the Canon EOS Rebel XSi as your first DSLR camera or back-up camera. You are a diehard Canon DSLR fan who can't afford the faster 6.5 fps Canon D40.
You are a diehard Canon DSLR fan who likes silver colored cameras.
You are a diehard Canon DSLR fan who has $200 to $300 to burn on non-existent camera features. By Cэвбо - From peanuts to peanut shells to peanut dust to nothing at all. I'm outta here.
