Hi Michael,
Another thing to consider is weather. If you shoot out in the elements you may want the better build of the 20D/40D which are made from magnesium-alloy. I once had my 20D w/100-400mm lens get completely soaked in a downpour and after…

Perhaps a referb 30-40-50D used might something to grow into. 8-10-15.1 Mpixels. I found the Rebels too small for my big hands.....D
Staale Sannerud replied to Michael OBrien's discussion 'First digital SLR' in the group Canon User Group
If you are like me, the entry-level Canons are simply too small to fit my hand. If possible, try one out to see if this is an issue for you. A used 30D or 40D would be my initial suggestion if this is the case.

Obviously the XS is cheaper. It all comes down to what do you want to shoot. I mean camera features just makes things easier, in my mind they are not that important. As long as you have good lens attached to the camera. So ask yourself what do you…

Richard Crowe replied to Michael OBrien's discussion 'EOS XS vs EOS XSi' in the group Canon User Group
I would suggest that a refurbished 40D from Adorama which is $699 with free shipping would be the way to go. If you wanted to get a bargain, a refurbished 18-55mm IS lens is $119 and a refurbished 55-250mm lens is $199. This totals out to only a few…

Michael, I usually give the same advice to someone asking this question. That is, decide on your maximum budget, adjust it about 10% (for batteries, memory cards etc) and then decide on the most camera your budget will allow. If the budget was…
Jesse Plummer replied to Michael OBrien's discussion 'EOS XS vs EOS XSi' in the group Canon User Group
Adorama usually has good cameras at a more reasonable rate. I doubt they have the 50d in the refurbished list but if they do, it would be even cheaper and their refurbs enjoy a good rep.
Michael OBrien replied to Michael OBrien's discussion 'EOS XS vs EOS XSi' in the group Canon User Group
I looked at it briefly and it looks like way more camera than I need? Can you tell me why you think I should wait?
Also, looking at my local Wolf Camera shop:
XSi - $850 with 2 lenses
50D - $1,900 with 2 lenses
(Slight more than $450 more that I…

What he said, the features and higher resolution make the 50D a bargain even when you look at the additional expense up front.
Gopal Venkat replied to Michael OBrien's discussion 'EOS XS vs EOS XSi' in the group Canon User Group
My $0.02 - Save up a bit more and go for the 50D (Costs $450 more than the XSi).
