Hi, I am a DSLR newb. What's the major difference between this XSI and 40D? Is it worth a few more hundred bucks to get a 40D if it's much better? Thanks in advance.
40D is better, definitely. But not that much better.
And the 40D is a lot bigger and heavier. Some people like that. I don't.
Picture quality between them will be virtually identical, as will focusing performance. The 40D has:
Bigger, better viewfinder Higher FPS with a bigger buffer Top LCD Slightly higher shutter sync
That's about it. Personally, I'd take the XSi over the 40D if they were the same price just because of the ergonomics. I guess I have relatively small hands and like a lightweight camera.
The XSi with the new 18-200mm IS lens would be a *bitchin* "everyday, everywhere" kinda setup.

OK - I own them both, as well as a 1d Mark 2 and 1ds. I use these cameras a lot and while I agree with this post concerning the "differences", there is no way the focusing performance of any Rebel class camera compares to that of the 40d. Focusing with the 40d is every bit as good as the 1d Mark 2 in MOST circumstances.
That said, I couldn't agree more that the new 18-200mm IS will be a great addition to the ef-s lens line!
I've got this camera on my list and will be purchasing a dslr soon.
I wanted to get everybody's advice on this camera against the Nikon d60 and Olympus E-520.
I want the camera to take nice shots without really having to play too much with the settings. I really don't anticipate buying anymore lenses then the one that comes with the camera. My budget is about $700-$900.
Please give your thoughts as to which one you think is better for my purposes.
how do you like the camera for everyday shooting? ease of use, comfort grip? (im intending to buy this as a gift my gf, and she's very new to this dslr realm)

From what I'm told, the AF systems in the 450D and 40D are virtually identical, representing a big upgrade in AF performance for the Rebel line.

If you want to call a $750 lens which does not even have USM a 'great addition'. Sorry...but Canon dropped the ball on this one. MSRP of $699, which is $40 over the current MSRP and $50-$60 over the current street price of the non-USM Nikon 18-200mm VR.
Which means street price after the initial frenzy will be the same as the Nikon version.
I too wish it had USM, but that would make for a much more expensive lens. And a bigger and heavier lens.
I have XSI and 20D. XSI isn't as good as 20D although it has much higher Megapixel. Especially for portrait, 20D is way better. 50D (replacement of 40D) is coming, body only is only $1200. I got XSI from live.com CashBack, it was $581 for body only without tax.
