Please help! Rebel XS vs XSi
Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 5:49 am
I am thinking of either getting a Rebel XS or XSi.
This is my first dSLR and I want something I can use for a few years and can grow with.
I mostly take landscape, scenery, nature, building, photos. Not often moving subjects but occasionally.
There is special deal on XS and XSi at local store this week.
They have great in store warranty program so I would prefer to get it there in case something ever happens to the camera.
Should I get:
Canon Digital Rebel XSi SLR with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS & EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
for $820
or
Canon Rebel XS EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
for $590 and add Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM total is $690
I am thinking the XSi is better deal. Also is the 55-250mm superior to the 75-300mm? The 55-250 has IS.
Or should I pass on the extra lenses altogether?
