5 Stars Perfect for most situations!
Rented this lens for a trip to New Mexico (didn’t hav3 $2000 under the mattress). I was going to shoot a friends wedding and a few days of camping in the high scrub desert of Bandelier National Monument, NM. I knew I needed something versatile for the wedding. As it seems with most wedding, I had very little idea of the lighting situations I would be dealing with. From sunrise shots the day of to the full ceremony and reception, this lens worked flawlessly. The huge aperture, great focal range, and lighting quick USM focus handled every situation. Following the wedding, the lens took a camping trip and continued it’s great performance. The build quality is amazing and the optics are superb. The only “cons”, that are just innate aspects of the lens really, are that it is quit heavy and with the low end of 70mm on a 1.6 cropped sensor, you are shooting more like 116mm. So, judge your distance carefully. On this trip, all I needed to carry was this lens and the 35mm f2 (plus medium and 35mm format film). The combination was great for all the challenges encountered.

5 Stars Canon Lens worth every penny
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens was the best purchase I have every made. It performs better than I could every imagine. If you need a great telephoto lens this one is for you.

5 Stars Cheaper Elsewhere
This same exact lens can be purchased for $1900 at B&H. Why pay the $2500 when you can save $600.

5 Stars great lens
The lens is great – the pictures are so clear and vivid. The only drawback is the weight.

5 Stars A heavy hitter

I’ll keep this simple and to the point. The lens is bullet proof. It produces beautiful images even in low light situations and that’s even hand held.

Only one minor complaint, it’s pretty heavy. I guess that’s a small price to pay for beautiful photos and dependability. You get a bit of a work out, but who isn’t in need of that.

4 Stars Awesome camera kit, nice job Canon!!
I’m very satisfied with this camera. I’m a fine art painter and digital concept artist so I take tons of reference images. It offers all I need for now, i’ll upgrade to a higher end Canon or Nikon when I get the dough.

PROS

great image quality

accurate color

nice functions

large preview screen

lightweight for a digital SLR

good value EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, images are clear and crisp

CONS

ISO speed only goes to 1600, not very ideal for night photography

Zoom with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens isn’t that great

5 Stars Great camera for the money
I’ve had the camera for about a month and have taken several hundred photos in different environments (outdoor, indoor and action). It does a great job in all areas and the battery life is super… charged it the day I got it and have yet to have to recharge it. The only issue with the camera is either the memory card that I bought or the camera itself… it seems to get hung up sometimes when reviewing photos and sometimes when taking a picture it gets a glitch so you have to shut the camera off and take the memory card out and put it back in, then everything is fine. Great camera for the money!!! If you buy an extra lens for it spend the $400 for the better Canon lens as the $275 (55-275) telephoto I bought doesn’t give as clear of picture as the lens that came with the camera.

5 Stars Great camera, but never received from Amazon
Well, I originally ordered the camera through Amazon on the 11th of Sept., it was scheduled for delivery on the 22nd. October 2nd comes and still without the unit, carrier (USPS) showed item was in “arrival scan” status at a location the whole time. Contacted Amazon to cancel order and refund, it’s now the 12th of Oct. and still no camera or refund on account. I ended up ordering the camera from n*w*gg for about $50 cheaper, just so happens they had a promo going on, 10% off all DSLR’s.

My rating above is not for the service, but for the camera.

On to the product, I love the camera so far. I am just getting into photos, so my photo skills are not quite up to par. Using this camera makes taking photos a snap and they come out great. Quick response to capture those precious moments of your first child.

5 Stars Canon XSi
This camera is a great camera for DSLR beginners. It is very easy to use and takes very good pictures.

5 Stars Great Buy – Trust Amazon !
Purchase for my 16 yr old – living out of state – needed the camera faster than the expected ship date, I sent the email saying I needed it, it came the next day. The camera is better than I expected. the service great. I paid hundreds more for my D-SLR and it was a lesser version – This is a good buy
