I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

All my Canon Pixma printers have done a great job of photos. Currently using the MX926. I think you are best to do research on the canon website as they will advise what printers do a good job with photos. Look under their printer section.

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

I don't know the xsi specifically, but if it is a digital SLR then I would be amazed if it didn't, since a cornerstone of Canon's marketing is that lenses are interchangeable amongst all of their cameras. I still have lenses from the analog days that fit on my eos rebel Ti camera.

hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera. I also own a Canon SX30IS which is a superb camera, not quite the DSLR but comes pretty close. I love Canon as a brand overall and also the fact that you can swipe memory cards and keep the same pictures regardless of which camera you took them with. Both of them are great cameras and are capable of taking wonderful pictures, it's pretty hard for me to say which one is my favorite. Again, it's a personal choice. I can't give you more advice since i'm a beginner in picture taking, but these 2 have made it pretty easy to get on my hobby. Good luck with your new purchase! hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera.

Who knows, I also see a lot of complaints about the newer Powershots. Maybe Canon is cramming too many megapixels in their newer cameras. My cousin owns the SD940is and loves it. I own the SD1100is and I can't complain about the pictures it takes. I would take some of those negative complaints with a grain of salt though. I think as long as you don't expect DSLR quality prints out of a Powershot then you'll be fine. I can't imagine giving a Powershot a 1 star review, maybe if it was dead on arrival or the battery exploded inside the camera. Maybe Canon is resting on its laurels a bit. Do some research before you buy a camera to avoid disappointment.

Hahaha. Oh Dan-you're so pithy. Hahaha. No, seriously. I wouldn't know the answer except to advise you to visit the Canon website/FAQs. I'm just venturing a guess that they should be able to help you because they made the machine. Keep smiling and keep making people laugh. Thanks for tonight's giggle.

A "simple" Question:How do I go FULLl manual with my EOS XSi? I want to set the ISO, the shutter speed and the aperature.?I might even want to "Spot Meter" as well.

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 am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

Thanks, Saleh...Ive already purchased the camera and found that out. Not a great flash but an amazing little camera!

I never have problem like your XSi. However, there is a couple things you can try. First, turn the camera power off. Remove the lens to check the contacts on the lens. If it looks tarnished or dirty, clean it with a Q-tip soaked lightly with alcohol. Re-mount the lens and power it back on. If it works, you are done. However, it fails again, try using a different SD card by formatting it in the camera and try shooting again. If you have another lens, you can shoot with it to see if you experience the same failure. If the other lens works, then the failure is caused by the lens.

Brian, I think you misinterpreted my comment about the Canon XSi. I didn't have any problem with the camera itself, I said that Canon's kit lens is no match to Olympus kit lens/s and that I would need a lot of money to replace canon's with prime lens/s that match Oly's quality and focal range not mention the weight. I don't believe in investing in expensive lenses while using mid-range DSLR body. The cost of lens/s should be inline with the cost of the body something which I find Olympus doing better by providing inexpensive, good quality lenses even at their standard level.

I have been in Photography for nearly 30 years and I can tell you that there is DEFINITELY a problem with the XSi's auto focus. I have shot over a thousand test shots with this camera and although most of them turned out looking pretty good I noticed a CONSISTENT problem with the auto-focus feature. One thong is that even if you set it to focus only on the center spot it will still occassionally focus on the area closer to you than the focus spot. Actually it is not just occasionally, but nearly every time. I have got so teed off with this persistent problem that I shoot everything that is important to me in manual focus!

my husband and I have been doing professional event photography for almost a year and have had no problems. I recommend the Flash Pro series for faster photo times. Besides that, I've really had no issue with the 1 slot. But ultimately it's your decision.

I also have a Canon xsi. I have purchased this battery in the past. It has worked quite well for me! I plan on buying two more for back up soon. With the higher 2000mAh they should hold a charge longer while being used. Wishing you good shooting and Great captures! Dan

If you download your photos once a week a 4GB card should be more than you will ever need. I only have a 4GB (class 6) card in my Canon XSi and it's more than adequate.
