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.

The T3 is actually the new version of the old Rebel XS Canon budget model. The T3i is essentially a Rebel T2i with some extra features such as an articulating LCD screen. The T3 is aimed at the casual photographer who wants to step up to better quality from a point and shoot camera while the T3i is aimed more towards enthusiast photographers who want every advantage an advanced model can afford them.

Unfortunately, the EOS M is not one of Canon's finer moments. Ridiculously slow to focus and ponderous with an EOS adapter and EOS lens mounted... There's zero question in my mind that the Fuji X-Pro 1 is the camera (out of those two) to have. I had a shelf full of EOS lenses and I still never bought an EOS M. It's a dog :(

I have the Xsi and I love it. Think about whether or not it's worth $250 extra just to have video and 3 more megapixels. The Xsi has 12.1 megapixels, but that's still enough to make a good poster sized print. I think those are the two biggest differences in the two cameras, so just decide whether or not those extras are worth the extra cash. Good luck! :)

Actually, the T3 has the better image quality. Cramming more megapixels onto the same size chip, just gives you a noisier picture, with less dynamic range.More megapixels is mostly just a sales tactic. A 7 MP camera will easily give a clear 10x12 image, so anything beyond that is only useful if you do a lot of cropping. Unless of course, you make poster size prints, in which case, 12 MP is plenty.I could care less about a higher res LCD...The main reason to go for the T3i, is if you are interested (or think you may become interested) in doing video. The T3i does far surpass the T3 in all but just casual video captures. Actually, the T3 has the better image quality.

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 would say the major difference in price is because of the build quality..i have used this dslr kit and i was really happy with everything..and the canon 70-200 should fitas you have a lot of space to move your camera body back and forth.

Canon is a bigger name and most people don't look into quality or price for quality. If anything they ask a sales rep and they would say, "Yeah, that $300 Canon is way better than that $169 Panasonic." People also feel that if the camera cost more then it is better than cheaper cameras.

Would love it if someone could comment on this. I am at the same decision point. Was also looking at the Sigma EF-530 DG Super, which is cheaper than the Canon 430. I am working with a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am an amateur. Translation, automated functionality is very desirable where possible ... but I'm also looking for a reasonable price. I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their advice. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

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'm also trying to decide if the Canon XS or XSI is right for me. I own the original 6.1mp Canon digital Rebel slr and am wondering if now is a good time to upgrade? I used to shoot primarily landscapes while traveling, but am doing more portraits now that I have kids. The Digic III processor definitely caught my attention, but I'm wondering how much of a difference in the cameras will I notice?

The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen. Search for some reviews that have the same shots at ISO1600 for both cameras and compare the two side by side and it'll jump out at you. I'm not so sure the slightly smaller sensor has much difference, sensor technology improves very slowly too, so maybe it has better signal to noise ratio even though it's more MP on a slightly smaller surface area.I don't like the SX200 for a bunch of reasons, the always up flash is annoying. It has a slower lens than the SX110/120, and it's way more expensive. The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen.

I'm not just taking one class. My husband and I own a Videography business and I would like to add photography as one of our services. So I plan going back to school and try for the associate degree at my local community college. As much as I would love to get the 50D or 60D it just not in my budget right now. I was checking out the T1 originally but was bit turned off by the HD video feature. I do not need this feature at all and really don't want to pay for it. Is there much difference between the XS and T1? I am very new at SLR camera. Thank you for your help.

I looked at shopcartusa.com, and most of the listings there seem very suspicious because: - Those offers are all from vendors I've never heard of before. - All vendors have perfect ratings (5 out of 5 starts). - Prices are ridiculously low ($200-300 for the Rebel XTi body). I can bet if you actually try to order the Rebel XTi for $200, you will be told that: 1. It does not come with US warranty 2. The price is for 'body only'. You have to pay $200 more for the rechargeable battery, charger, user manual and software. (even though those are all included in the original package) 3. You must also buy a 2GB memory for $200 to qualify for this low price. 4. Finaly, it is on back-order - unless you order the body with a 3rd-party lens and flash unit that add another $600 to your cost. So eventually, you'll end up paying over $1200 for a grey-market camera kit.

Consider also the SD780, which is: 1. Canon's smallest Elph ever; 2. the only Elph with a tunnel-vision viewfinder; 3. the highest-rated Elph by the largest number of actual users. Otherwise, look to the more current Elph 300, a value and a genuine step upward in terms of focal length (24mm wide angle), power (5:1 telephoto), video (1080p), available light shots (HS system) and "feel" despite being almost as tiny as the SD780. Don't be misled by 100/300/500 categories or tempted to overpay for a Canon Elph 110. It was fine to spend over $200 for an Elph in 2009, but after 2010 the improvement in smartphone cameras has caused Canon to lower its prices to compete. Consider also the SD780, which is: 1.

The Rebel XT has been on the US market for about 30 months now, and I expect it to be discontinued before Christmas.I say get the Rebel XTi. The price difference is more like $150. You get 25% larger image from the XTi. But the real bonus is in the new self-cleaning sensor and dust-removal function. When you notice dust spots on your XT (as I do), you'll kick yourself for not getting the XTi.

I have all kind of cameras (Sony Nex 5 N, Fuji XPro1, Fuji X100, Nikon DSLR, and Three Olympus) , and never attracted to Canon Products!.... but I know about the Canon EOS M, you can compare it to Sony Nex but Not to a highly respected camera like Fuji X Pro1! They do not have any common ground!, Fuji is a professional Camera and you need a rich backgrand of photography to be able to use it. Fuji X Pro1 is a Porsche 911 and Canon EOS M is a VW!!......you have to compare Fuji Xp1 to a Leica Not to a Cheap Canon!
