This is the third book I've read by Lauren Weisberger and enjoyed it just as much as the first two. Good story. Quick read. Great fun!

I love gdiapers. The only thing I have a problem with is that I did not know we had tree roots in our sewer system so we had a backup in our basement. We now use them only outside of the house and use cloth at home. We only have to wash the "gpant" every few uses but every time Ophelia poops we have

A Great Camera Overall
6/22/2008
This camera is really great!

It's easy to use, the LCD screen is big and clear, it's quite light, and the packaged kit lens (18-55 IS) is good. It's not a top lens, but it delivers sharp photos across the zoom range. Default settings will you great shots out of the box.
The 9-point auto focus is good most of times, but I found myself using the central point most often, even more so when using larger apertures.

For under $800 (body only), this is the best DSLR you can find.

* Pros and Cons *
Pros:
- An easy to use, quick camera.
- Intuitive menu.
- 12 mega pixels.
- Great pictures, sharp, good tones.
- Small and light weight for a DSLR.
- Live view mode (slow but can be useful in studio).
- 3.5 shots per second (could be more).
- Sharp kit lens for the price.

Cons:
- Expensive compared to the Canon 40D.
- ISO limited to 1600.
- Relatively low fps.
- Exposure compensation range limited.

* The competition *
The closest competitor is certainly the Canon 40D, which is a bigger, more professional camera. It has more options, higher iso, remote flash, higher shots per second rate, fewer pixels but a definitely tougher feel.
I went for the rebel Xsi because I found the 40D too hefty.
Still, if you really want a professional camera you should look at the Canon 40D.
If you have a bigger budget, you should also look at Nikon, I really recommend the Nikon D300, it's a really impressive camera.

* Lenses *
Canon has LOTS of lenses.
If you're tight on budget, you should get the 50mm 1.8, a great lens for portrait. It's also a good start to get used to shoot with primes (lenses with a fixed focal length).
The 18-55mm kit lens is often paired with the Canon 55-250mm IS lens to give you an almost 14x zoom (13.9).
If you don't want to change lenses, the Sigma 18-200 OS deserves a look.

Excellent Entry-Level Camera...Almost an Amateur Level Camera
6/22/2008
I don't have a lot to say...I had the Canon EOS Rebel XTi. I then saw the XSi was coming out...did my research on it. Found out that it had what I needed for most of my amateur needs. It came out, I bought it. It didn't disappoint me. Bottom line.

Wonderful camera!
6/19/2008
For someone who is used to a non-digital SLR, you will feel right at home with this one. All the same functions are there, just shown on a menu to select electronically, instead of with manual adjustments. You can use this as a point-and-shoot digital, or you can play to your heart's content. The lens is great, and you can add a telephoto lens if you want. It will take some learning for someone whose only experience is with a digital, but is a good choice for someone who wants to convert to digital from manual without losing all the versatility of the SLR camera.
