Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Hm. LiveView would be nice, but not really essential. I like the SD card though. I hate using CF.
Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Adam your comparing Apples to Oranges....This is a consumer based camera vs the 40D which is Prosumer...not a fair comparrision. Most consumers could careless about or even know the difference between a CF and SD card, they want something small, easy to use that pack alot of features which this does.
Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Interesting Canon is moving to SD while Sony's latest entry-level DSLR amazingly uses only CF instead of MemoryStick!

I agree that it isn't a fair comparison, but it is a comparison a lot of first-time DSLR buyers are going to be making over the next year, especially as the 40D comes down in price.
And I disagree that a lot of consumers don't know the difference between CF and SD...most people who use point-and-shoots own SD cards. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 50D accept both.
Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Is the SD card better than the CF card? (Besides size of course) I would have to think the CF card would be faster. (write speed and whatnot)
Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
So one of my co-workers got his XSi over the weekend and let me play with it today. I have to say, I'm impressed with how well-executed it is; it really is like a point-and-shoot with interchangeable lenses. The user interface is somewhat similar to my girlfriend's PowerShot A720, but the feature set is more like a dumbed-down 40D.
I'm not sure I'd want to bring it plane-spotting because of the slow drive and inflexible autofocus, but people who regularly get asked for photography advice by friends and family members should probably check it out, just to see...
Re: Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Wow, just thinking about it I ordered my new Canon EOS Rebel XT this past week... I should be getting it soon now..
