  1. Sure why not! Go for it...
  2. It's a really nice starter SLR camera, just know that it's not professional, and it's just a starter camera, and professional cameras are thousands of dollars ( 5,000$ chepeast ). This is a really nice DSLR, but it's not the BEST in any means, except in the price category.
  3. I am a HUGE fan of the Olympus evolt series. This particular one shows Live View on the Lcd Screen. The Canon requires you to use the view finder. Olympus EVolt E-510 10 megapixels: This Olympus E510 features a new 10-million pixel Live MOS sensor reproduces images with rich gradations equivalent to an 8-million pixel CCD. It has achieved about 80% reduction of power consumption so that the Live View function can be activated permanently. 2.5" LCD monitor with Live View: The new Live View function displays the information required for photography on the rear-panel 2.5” LCD monitor. The AF, exposure correction and white balance can all be adjusted more intuitively as they can be viewed on the LCD monitor. This also enhances the camera’s mobility and flexibility. Image stabilizer: The breakthrough SWD system corrects blurring of images caused by unsteady hands—even under low light or when a lens with a long focal distance is used. The newly-developed sensor with blurring frequency analysis/detection capability and a motor with excellent responsiveness and controllability enable the image stabilizer unit to respond to vibrations from less than 1Hz to 7Hz, achieving a correction effect equivalent to 2 to 4 EV steps. Four Thirds system: This new standard for interchangeable-lens digital SLR cameras uses a 4/3-type image sensor to achieve both outstanding mobility and superb image quality. In addition, the Four Thirds system establishes a common standard for lens mounts to make that lenses and bodies made by different manufacturers are truly interchangeable. Dust reduction system: The onboard dust reduction system, including the Super Sonic Wave Filter, not only keeps dust out of the body when changing lenses, but also dramatically improves internal dust issues. Included lens: The ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 is among the smallest and lightest lenses in its class and features a closest focusing distance of only 25cm. The ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two aspherical lens elements correct aberrations without increasing lens dimensions. The circular aperture diaphragm enables beautiful defocusing—one of the big advantages of this lens. Excellent mobility is assured by a weight of less than 190 grams. Other features: Fast 3 frames-per-second shooting HyperCrystal LCD with wide viewing angle from all directions Newly designed bright, easy-to-view viewfinder High-precision 49-segment light metering system Easy-to-use Super Control Panel Convenient four picture modes Raw data compression without image quality degradation
  4. I have one. It's a very nice camera, and quite possibly the best in its price class. PopPhoto thought so: http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/5429/dslr-shootout-five-top-cameras-compared.html Any "best camera" decision is based on some subjective decisions about how important various features are, so dissenting opinions such as RJ B's are also valid. (Though he's wrong about live view; the XSi does have it. Mainly useful for tripod shots, though. The viewfinder is what makes an SLR what it is, after all.) If you like it, go for it.
  5. The guy who said the XSi doesn't have live view is wrong - it does. That being said, live view is kinda pointless in almost all situations with an SLR so why bother considering it? As said before, the XSi is by no means the *best* dSLR, but it's probably pretty damn good for your situation. I would suggest that you go into a store and hold one in your hands to see if you like the feel. If you do then I say go for it.
