And I’m glad I did! I got a new agreement on Amazon last Christmas, a Canon XSi kit 18-55, and a 55-250 IS zoom for only $ 100 more – that’s $ 150 off! I was pleased the XSi, which I rated 5 stars, with some caveats. I found the camera easy to handle and has taken some decent photos … [...]

Then in April, Canon has addressed all of my XSi with the display of warnings delivered T1i – HD movie mode, high ISO sensitivity, high resolution LCD, advanced firmware, DIGIC 4 more megapixels. For a price spread of around $ 250 Trade Up the decision was a breeze. I sold the XSi kit with a loss of $ 50 and bought a kit T1i.

I beg to disagree with the reviews that show how T1i EOS 50D movie mode with a body stuffed XSi. This is a good description of the technical characteristics of T1i, but does not take into account the quality of the construction. The T1i is more attractive, more comfortable, has better integration and finish, and feels more solid than the XSi. And ‘more responsive, more feature-rich, and I think that takes the best pictures.

If T1i XSi and share the same footprint, the knobs are wrapped differently. The texture on the front of T1i foam surrounding the lens. It is cut in an arbitrary angle to the right on the XSi which has led to numerous complaints about the grip XSi. The T1i has remedied with better ergonomics and aesthetics better. As one who has dealt with both, I can definitely T1i feels much better in my hand.

The T1i has a sturdy corrugated cardboard that the XSi is missing. It stains’ and free from dust, while the XSi is a patch of dust magnet. The T1i has a richer feel to the hand of an XSi. There are added touches like a badge on which is stamped on T1i EOS XSi. There is no doubt the T1i is a camera and more refined, powerful, and attractive.

I could rave on about 900,000 dpi display, the HD movie mode, high ISO, DIGIC 4 menus, but I leave that to others. So far I have warnings on T1i.
