I think you'll really enjoy the larger LCD as well as the zippier and better overall performance of the new Rebels. The 50-100% increase in pixel count will let you crop much more aggressively and print larger. There are tons of new features that you might find useful such as Live View for framing a shot and Auto Lighting Optimizer. Try one out in a shop - I think you'll be very pleased. And prices also are pretty good right now. If you're shooting portraits with fast lenses and narrow DoFs, if you're interested in bringing out shadow details, if you shoot RAW then definitely Xsi higher consideration than the XS.

does your camera accept other digital lens? The canon mount is the same on all canon, so if the xs is canon it will accept the lens.

Even though the Canon SD940 IS and the Panasonic ZS3 are both point & shoots, they are really very different cameras and therefore difficult to compare to one another. Both are quality cameras that will produce technically good photos. That being said, if an extremely small camera that can fit into just about any pocket is your top priority, go with the Canon. If a MUCH greater zoom range is your top priority, go with the Panasonic.

Why not get both? For photo shoots I'd pick the xS but for long treks into the wilderness (like three weeks on a backpacking trip) I'd pick the smaller camera, the G12. Those smaller cameras' lighter weight will be a godsend after hauling 30+ pounds on your back for three weeks, and a pound of camera is nicer than three or four pounds the xS would be with batteries and lenses.

well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use. You can get a canon Xsi for about $600, it comes at 12MP which is plenty (my friend has this camera) and again, it all depend on the lens, because for landscape photos you probably would need a wide angle lens and so and so. There are different lenses for different shots, do some research or review some reviews on the different lenses to see what they do. I bought the T2i because I have a 46" lcd tv with SD card reader so i'll be viewing my photos and videos with my family on the big screen, so the number of pixels and the HD video was a very attractive point. well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use.

I have both. Very little difference. Both are excellent for a point and shoot!

Both are great cameras but I'd give the edge to Canon right now. Read a detailed review for each at http://www.dpreview.com/

sx150is, which is also an older camera and is available to buy on amazon at greatly reduced price points as used or refurbished. good luck.

My boyfriend has the Canon & I just got the Lumix. I prefer the Lumix, it's easier to switch to different light situations because of the dial on the top. But he prefers the Canon because it's slightly smaller & fits in his pocket. I have to admit, his camera is much slimmer, but I still prefer my own.

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.

Any thoughts for general / home photography? I have a Digital Rebel XSI and recently bought the 70-200 mm F2.8 IS version mainly to photograph school events without the annoying flash, and take closeups of my rapidly-growing kids. I have been going back and forth between the two lenses (24-70 F2.8 vs. 24-105 F4.0 IS) but my instinct is that F2.8 is much better than F 4 even with IS. Any guidance appreciated from a professional.

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 :)

Hi I have the Canon XSI and its a terrific camera. I am thinking of getting the Powershot S1 IS because of its 20X zoom which is equivalent to 560mm. I like the fact that I don't have to change lenses and that it has image stabilization at the 20X zoom. If you are an ameteur to semi-professional photographer then the S1 IS is the way to go. With the XSI I have to keep chainging lenses and when I use my 300mm lens I no longer have Image Stabilization. It does require carrying extra lenses which can be a pain when traveling. I like the fact that the S1 IS has a better sensor and records HD movies. If I did not have the XSI I would definitely buy the S1 IS. Like I said I am stronlgly considering buying the new S1 IS. Hope this info helps.

I just replaced my SD870IS with a Canon S100 - a move up in price and features. I am still using my 870 for some work ( it's display has some dead spots).Thanks for the discussion.

Well, it's just the size of the sensor troubles me. What kind of picture is this going to take at even a 400 ISO? Nevermind 800 or higher.I just wonder if it's worth getting a camera this big when the sx200IS can be had for almost half the price, it's way easier to carry, and when you add the chdk firmware, will be almost as functional.I suppose if this were to be your only camera, but personally, I'd like to see what they do with the Rebel, either later this year or next. Or if I have a "rich uncle die", buy the 5D Mark II ;-)
