Best Price: $317.00

from Mark from LA, CA, www.circuitcity.com
the price seems to be dropping as well...
from www.amazon.com
despite the fact that the damage may have been due to dropping and the serial number had rubbed off, canon replaced the optics and sent it back to me for no charge.
from www.amazon.com
we've seen and tried a ton on them (between family and friends) and we've always stuck with the powershots cause we never have issues with them (even with three small kids dropping them all the time).

Canon Digital Rebel XSi

Best Price: $812.00

to the advancements over it's previous xt and xti predecessors including the new 12mp sensor it has, i found it quite odd that it's star ratings were somehow dropping lower than it's predecessors.
from www.amazon.com
they're $6 here on amazon, and it's better scratching those than dropping another $200 for a new lens.

paired with good lenses the xsi/450d can provide jaw-dropping images with incredible detail.

finally, someone in my family (me) will be able to share respectable and hopefully jaw dropping shots that capture the feel of the holidays more than a point and shoot camera can.

i'm also noticing that the price keeps dropping.
from www.amazon.com
build quality seems adequate for people that aren't prone to dropping their cameras.
from www.amazon.com
no regrets, though, and now that it's dropping in price, i'd say, grab this one over the 10mp - unless you print poster-size, it won't matter at all.
