CNET Reviews XSi - "best in class" IQ

their 400d review was like: sorry Canon, d80 is a better cam
Uhhh, but that's true! I doubt even hard core Canonites would dispute that after using both.

For peeps trying to decide between the two, it's impt. to compare in reviews imo.
 
I'm sorry but take an L lens and a 5D and it will blow anything the
450D and cheap lenses can produce out of the water.
wow... this is such a suprise ?

So you mean that if I buy a 2500 euros camera with a 600 euros lens, I'll get better results than with a 700 euros camera with a 150 euros lens ?

:)
 
"Most importantly, the XSi no longer forces you to use the flash
during exposure if you had used it as an AF Assist Strobe. That
drawback on the Rebels was one of my biggest pet peeves"

please some xsi user can confirm this important point..??
ok now that I understand the question... I found a setting yesterday that works: you can set the flash to "off", while setting the AF assist to "on". It works !!

So you have the AF assist strobe (which is so annoying, strange noise, and unpleasant overall), but no flash.
 
These kind of reviews you should take with a grain of salt.

The GLASS makes the picture IQ moreso than just the camera.

I think the only thing you need to be sorry about is missing the point about "best in class". "Best in class" does not mean "best DSLR in the market." They are comparing it with comparably priced/positioned DSLR cameras.

Lets not forget that an L lens on an XSi will probably produce very good results as well.
 
tell me the XSi isn't have the same problem that plagged the XTi for
many...
