I am a rank amateur with cameras. However I have been very frustrated with the results from many point and shoot digitals for indoor use. from Cameraworld.com This is a wonderful upgrade from the Canon Rebel xsi. 15.1 megapixel for stunning detail and a new feature for the Canon cameras, this camera also has HD video capabilities. from Cameraworld.com Before buying this camera I looked into the Nikon D5000 as well. Evetually, my best friend got the Nikon and I got the Canon. from Amazon.com I am very happy with this camera. The last time I owned a "real" camera was also a Rebel, but the 35mm version. from Amazon.com I was holding out to get the new Canon Rebel T1i with the HD video and it was worth it. The old point and shoot just wasn't cutting it and it was always breaking and just didn't take the quality pictures we wanted. from Amazon.com This camera is really good. The lens that it comes with provides clear pictures. I'm an amature photographer and i'm really still trying to learn how to fully use it and i learn things every time i use it. from Amazon.com I seem to have a problem that I simply don't like to use the flash!... I don't know where this "Low light" mania came from, but its my problem and I from Amazon.com I've had this camera and lens for about 3 weeks now after switching from a brand new Nikon D80 which I was terribly disappointed in. This Canon continues to amaze me daily with the quality of pictures it takes. from Amazon.com I use to think that picture quality from subcompact camera are good enough and never understood why people would carry a bulk DSLR camera. However, the picture quality is just unbelievable! from Amazon.com The T1i was a huge step up from my 300D but I could easily live without the video function. It was down to this and the D5000 but I stuck with Canon due my limited bag of lenses and to the resolution on the screen. from Amazon.com
