I wanted to put a few words in review about my recent Amazon purchase of the Canon XSi. I am not a hardcore amateur and consider myself more interested in documenting the growth of my two daughters with quality photographs then I am about the techinical art of photography. Throwing it up and there, shooting, and having a reasonable outcome is my primary objective. I am also fully aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I certainly do not want to take anything away not from those people who do. I appreciate and respect beautiful photographic work. For my situation however, I looked at several different cameras in this price range and settled on Canon. Primarily because I had a Canon A1 for years and always thought highly of their cameras and lenses. I looked at the Olympus E520 and probably would have bought the D90 if I had wanted to spend that much money. I think the XSi was ultimately the best value. I placed my order through Amazon and eargerly awaited its delivery. I received it in time for Christmas and out of the box was able to figure out enough about the camera to get some great Christmas shots of my two girls. Once I came inside however...there were problems immediately. When operating in lighting environments where the flash was required the camera failed alsmost continually. This was manifested by Err 99 messsages in the viewfinder. This as maddening especially with all the nieces and nephews over for Christmas morning gift unwrapping. I finally had to abandon the the XSi and revert back to my wife's point and click. A dubiouos beginning to say the least. Later, a little reserach on the internet and I found that many other XSi customers had similar issues with this camera. There are various remedies posted on various websites but mine was to return the camera to Amazon for a replacement. This part of the experience was outstanding. I requested a replacement on Friday and my new XSi arrived the following Monday. Amazon did not wait for the return of the broken camera and paid for the price of return shipping as well. Out of the box I see now that my new camera works much better. There is slight pause when you fire off multiple frames under flash. The camera will say BUSY but will not lock as the other one did and this passes in maybe 2 seconds. All in all..I am happy with the experience and was happy that Amazon did such a good job getting a working camera to me. Oh..one more thing....I bought the "Dummies Guide to the Canon XSi" ....that is a very nice companion to the purchase of this camera and possibly the most beautiful "Dummies Guide to ...." that I have ever seen.

Nothing too fancy with this camera, but it works well and has a clear picture. I use it just for Skype, so nothing too fancy is needed. For the price, I would get this again.

I had researched both Cannon and Nikon cameras when I decided to upgrade to a SLR. I already owned a Rebel 35mm camera and knew what kind of pictures it took, but like the ease of a digital. Came across someone who had a Cannon XT. It looked alot like my 35m. Long story short, I bought the XSi. It is wonderful. I like that it is easy to use, but gives you professional quality pictures. The biggest selling point for me was that I could you use my lense from my 35mm. The one thing I wish was available, not necessarily for this camera but for any digital SLR is a guide to lenses and attachments to enhance the capapbilites of this great camera. It was a great purchase on my part. I like that the SLRs are available at an affordable price for someone who takes and shares alot of pictures, but not necessarily a professional photograhpher. However, this camera will make your pictures look professional.

I have this mounted on the house in front of our driveway. It picks up motion great. The range of view is pretty good too. Plus, there's no monthly service attached!

Easy to setup and run, excellent cover the side of the house, the range is perfect.

Set up was a breeze and it works great. Excellent image quality.

It works perfect, the sensitive and all setting can be adjusted to your preference, the night vision is also works great, the subscription is only $30 a year so you can watch the recording clips.

The price is reasonable, easy to install and we are satisfied with the clarity. Please note that A plan is optional…. In order to save recorded activity there are 2 plans. Please review details on Blink website…. Other than that it is free
