Canon XSi: First Look

Bob Atkins did a 24-hour test with the new Canon Rebel XSi. In the article, he shares some of his initial impressions of the XSi along with some sample photographs. This is a prelude to the full review he will be completing in the next few weeks.

"I took around 180 photographs with the XSi using the 18-55 IS and the 55-200 IS. Just about all of the photographs were well focused and the exposure was good. I was capturing in fairly bright sunlight most of the time and the AF worked very well with no "hunting" for focus. I had the camera set to use the center AF point, aperture-priority exposure, and evaluative (multi-segment) metering. All other camera settings were left at the factory defaults. White balance was set to auto and I tried ISO settings from 100 to 800." -Bob Atkins
