The list price, on Amazon, or any other web site means nothing. I have a Canon camera that I paid $429 for new three years ago, and that had a list price of $649, but no one ever sold it for that price.The Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP for $450.00 is a far better deal than the Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP at $400.00. It has far more features, is about two years younger, and shoots video in the HD movie mode. The Canon Rebel XS does not shoot video, only still photos.

do it right from the 1s time and get the T3i. The APS-C sensor on the 3i is the same like the one on the Sony NEX 3C/C5 . larger censor = better image reviewshttp://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/slrs/canon_eos600d

XS is a 6 year old product. T3i is three generations ahead of it. T3 is a much better and faster camera than Xsi. The processor and sensor are much much faster than the previous generation products. If you can shell out, just go for T2i. You will get much better low light performance.

I was able to find a D40 kit for $400 a year ago. If you are going to pay $650 you might as well get a D3000, or even better a D40, a second lens, and maybe some accessories. The XS is a decent camera as well, it really depends on what ecosystem you want to get into. Both Canon and Nikon make nice cameras, I think you'll be happy with a camera from either.

The 30D, as noted by others, is a much sturdier camera. In addition, keep in mind that it shoots at a faster rate (5 fps), has a more ergonomic set of controls, and shoots better in low light-- ranging all the way up to 3200 ISO after expansion.I wouldn't be surprised to see Canon offer a similar jump to 10.1 MP or higher in this price range soon, more to compete with Nikon's D80 and D200 than to compete with their own product.That said, I'm adding the XTi as a backup to my existing 20D.

The Ultimate is the better card. There is no reason to get the Elite over the Ultimate. Why is it cheaper? SD has been out for a while, and these are just discounted more for the time being. Check other sites like newegg where you'll be paying $10 more for the Ultimate. Which is better for your cam? It certainly will never hurt to have a card capable of faster transfer. The 50x is certainly fast, and probably neglible speed noticeability upgrading to x120 for your Point n' Clicks, but you might as well invest for the future.

From what i've seen, it's worth it to pay the extra $9 for the dslr controller app if you are using a Canon camera. If you plan to use Nikon you can find more information on DSLRDashboard on my site.

Ken-The features between these two are very similar, however, the XSi has more features which advanced photographers might find useful. I would recommend the XS for casual snapshooters who aren't likely to purchase expensive lenses in the future. I would instead recommend the Xsi for those interested in pursuing photography in more depth, who plan to upgrade lenses in the future and who are likely to edit and crop their images in Photoshop rather than just print them out as-is.

I agree with xapshot; No difference in quality or functionality of the two. Only two different marketing areas that Canon feels should kept apart. Concerning warranty I don't know the difference. I find it sensible to agree again with xapshot on that matter as well :)

I too am deciding between these two cameras. From what I have seen so far the differences are:A710 IS - 6x zoom- Digic II processorA570 IS-4x zoom-Digic III processorI have also read some stuff on the net about people stating the DIGIC III is better on power, giving you more shots per battery. I don't have a source to back that up though. I can't see why people would pay $80 more for an OLDER camera just for the 6x zoom. It's a point and shoot, not an SLR or high end camera such as one would bring on a vacation if they really needed to zoom into a wide view. Just my .02Are there any other differences? anyone?

Yes, back to your original post. I guess the sx1 is for those wanting the benfits of a CMOS sensor, greater zoom (over the sx200 which looks like a great pocket camera), true 1080p HD video, and standard AA battery usage (rechargable, of course, but standard in a pinch), and RAW+JPEG, all things I like very much.p.s. on that review site above the image quality of the rebel xsi is quite inferior to either the sx1 or sx10!

I don't think the T300 is in the same class as the G10 and LX3, in terms of features and image quality. I'm a Canon guy and I really wanted to get the G10. But it was a marginal improvement over the G9. And the low light performance is still lacking. I tend to shoot a lot of indoor and night time pics, so the LX3 was a better choice for me. But if you're more of an outdoor daylight shooter, the G10 blows the LX3 away. And I have to say that Canon has a better menu system and user interface. The Panasonic UI takes some getting used to. I would highly recommend browsing through Flickr to get an idea of the image quality that comes from each of the cameras. It should help you decide on the best camera for your needs. And Amazon uses automated scripts to adjust pricing. If a Marketplace reseller offers it for a lower/higher price, the Amazon price will drop/increase by X dollars. So if you're looking for the best price from Amazon, it helps to be a little obsessive and check every half hour or so. :-)

Go to http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_Digital_Rebel_XS-vs-Canon_PowerShot_G12. It has a nice easy to read list of the pros and cons of each. I'm comparing the same two.

I've owned three Sony Cyber Shot ultra-compact digital cameras and have had excellent luck, a T1, T7 and currently a T200. Sorry, you are having bad luck with the T2, I will make note. I ended up going with a T20 and an add on 4GB memory card as an Xmas present for my girlfriend, which ended up being about a $100 cheaper in the end, and the cameras have very similar internal specifications.

Thank you Tech Guy. I think I will stay with my current Rebel XT (350 in Europe) as it offers my great pics but not so fancy, large, back-LCD. I used to have a Canon EOS RT which was heavier and more robust than Rebel, but I got used to the smaller, ligther camera now. Video, I can live with the videos my wife gets in her Nikon Coolpix pocket camera. Lenses I have upgraded last year to 28-80 and 100-300 both USM. So being an amateur photographer, I think I will spend the extra bucks in something else.I have some of my pics posted in http://www.sxc.hu/profile/sebadanon which is a nice free stock photo site.

Snapsort will tell you best:http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-T3-vs-Canon_EOS_Rebel_T1iBasically T1i is a 2009 model while T3 came out in 2011, but T1i has a larger LCD with higher resolution. The rest of the differences don't matter much. I own a T1i.Then there is the T3i (note the "i") that is the latest model of the Rebel series. It has a flip-out screen, an external mic jack, 1080p30 video with manual controls. I would get this one.

For about $30 difference, the 330 is a much better buy, and for several reasons.First, the CMOS sensor with only 12 megapixel in the 330 is so much better than the CCD sensor with 16mp (remember, in small sensors like this camera, less megapixels is actually better than more!)Also the range is much better, the 330 has a wide-angle lens of 24mm, and the 130 starts from 28mm. And it's also longer, 10x optical zoom on the 330 vs. 8x on the 130.Then you have the Digic5 processor on the 330, which has many advantages over the older Digic4 processor on the 130.Video on the 130 is maxing out at 25 fps, not good enough in my book. The HS330 had 30fps, much more smooth.

I am just graduating to DSLR photgraphy and just ordered my camera - I went through extensive research and boiled down to Canon Xs and Nikon D3000, finally decided to go with Canon. Nikon's guide mode is really good but I feel Canon is a superior machine.
