Rating:  - * greatest camera i will ever own ... awesome camera!! just awesome, its great in its point and shoot simplicity, and powerful in more complex creative modes. would recommend to anybody taking up digital photography beginners of course, there are more better models for pro's (expensive too) but for beginners its a great buy a must i would say. Rating: - * Perfect for semi-professional photography! ... My business as a graphic designer has required more and more product photography, so to keep up with demand and quality, I purchased the Canon XSi and have not been disappointed! I have only used it for still-shots, but the quality is outstanding, I get great close-ups and have plenty of photo options for the different types of shots I want to take. Excellent product! Rating: - * I Love This Camera ... I have been searching for a good all around camera that will take great Portrait/Sport pictures and is very user friendly. I absolutely found it with the Canon Rebel XSi. I purchased it from Amazon at a great price along with the EF-S 18-55 IS lens which is a very good lens for the price. I will be looking to buy the Canon EF 70-200 F4L IS and the 50mm in the very neir future to complete my collection. There is nothing bad I can say about this camera. Great Job Canon!!!!! Rating: - * G-R-E-A-T Camera!! ... I used an EOS Rebel film camera for years and finally moved to an DSLR when I couldn't get easy access to wet film processing. This camera is fabulous! It does everything the Rebel did and SOOOOOOO much more. I also think it is easier to use. The first pictures I took were at our daughters wedding and the digital format made it easy to take really great pictures for them. Canon has always been good for us, and this is the best product yet. Rating: - * EFS-18-55mm beats my EF100-400mm L IS Zoom lens with XSI 450D ... I used the following settings (1/200 sec, f/25, AWB cloudy, AI SERVO AF flash exp comp +2, user def 1 with +7 sharpness, +1 contrast, +2 saturation, +2 color tone, hi-ISO speed noise reduction on, highlight tone priority enabled, auto lighting optimizer enabled) with flash on and took pictures from 5PM to 7PM and I got the clearest resolution ever from a kit lens!!!!

The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
