The viewfinder. It has 7-point AF instead of 9-point, but I only use the center point anyway.

My first shot with it. Ouch. I guess I have to read the instruction manual first.

I'm done now. Before I take many serious photos, I'm going to test it against my Powershot A520.

Since I know you people are not going to read my third post, I'll say again that I made this thread for people looking for a first DSLR camera. The only reason why I didn't get an XSi even though it was the same price was because it didn't have anything extra that I needed (except spot metering, but CWA should cover that).
>> Anonymous
>XSi even though it was the same price

wtf. who pays the same for less? You should've just bought the xsi....

Enjoy the awesomeness, prepare to grow out of the Kit lens.

I personally own the XT and have my eye on the 40D or 5D if I enter a moment of financial suicide.

First of all, you're a fucking idiot for not getting an XSi at the same price. Why would you gladly pay for less features? It's not like it would EVER be to your disadvantage.

Second of all, fuck you in the ass for encouraging more "HALP ME BUY A FIRST CAMERA" threads. We don't fucking need unboxing pics, there are a million other websights that have done that a month ago and have done a far better job than you. Fuck off.

You even fucked up buying the damn thing. Why the fuck would you buy a camera from Best Buy? It's $55 cheaper on Amazon with free shipping and no tax.

God damn, you're such a piece of shit it's incomprehensible. Please do the right thing strangle yourself to death on the neck strap.

Dreadfully sorry, but... you damn fool.
As noted by the shiny yellow sticker, return the thing for an XSi within 14 days from sunday, dammit.

List of things better on the XSi than the XS (and these are all off the top of my head, as I own an XSi and work in a camera shop handling the XS+XSi).
1. Spot metering
2. 14-bit A/D conversion
3. Better sensor - both in terms of high-iso noise and in terms of resolving power. While it's only a couple megapixels, it also has a significantly weaker AA filter.
4. WAY better finish on the grip. Significantly better grip.
5. Better autofocus sensor.
6. Better buffer for raw.
7. Larger LCD.

Damn, /p/, you guys are so predictable. I've used the XSi quite a bit and it's not really that much better. More megapixels? A better autofocus? 2 more bits? In real situations, they don't matter. The only thing that is realistically better is RAW fps, but I'm not going to ever need it with this body.

The reason I didn't get the XSi is because it's bigger, has a stupid grip and my nose always rubs against the 3 inch screen (on the XS it doesn't). Besides, I got it at Best Buy because I could get it cheaper (with tax) than on Amazon.

better autofocus isn't about accuracy its about speed and tracking

if you're not driving a 70-200 2.8 during a basketball game you're not pushing your shitty autofocus anyways, so you wouldn't see a difference

If you're driving a fast telezoom for sports then you should be using the 40D or a 1D MkIII anyways.
>> Anonymous
>>247004
right but you wouldn't see a difference if all you're doing is taking pictures of your computer desk and self portraits in the bathroom. that was my point.

And for the record, even the 40d's af isn't that great. I much prefer the d300's 51 point 3d tracking for sports, and yes ive used both.

Alright, stop right there. All this discussion about XS and XSi is hurting my head. Can we talk in terms of model number?
>> Einta !!MWv3ICYobCM
>>247080
It's quite simple:
Rebel = 300d
Rebel XT = 350d
Rebel XTi = 400d
Rebel XS = 1000d
Rebel XSi = 450d

... The model numbers are even more fucked up than the NA names.

Che Guevara waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were rebels in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Fidel Castro were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Che was a medical student for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the Granma and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY REBELS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the camp of the Cuban Army he knew there were rebels.
"This is Raul" the radio crackered. "You must fight the rebels!"
So Che gotted his rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the rebels
"I will shoot at him" said the rebel leader and he fired the RPG. Che shot at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the rebels" he shouted
The radio said "No, Che. You are the rebel."
And then Che was a freedom fighter.
