Customer Review: Canon does it again!!!
This is a great camera for someone who loves the convenience of point and shoot cameras, but is interested in taking total control of the camera.
Customer Review: Decent value for money
Very flexible camera with lots of features and modes. I haven’t used all of them but the manual and macro modes work well. I am no photographer so please refer to dpreviews.com for more technical details. But whatever modes I have tried, seems to work as expected and the results are good.

The EOS Rebel XSi’s refined, ergonomic design includes a 3.0-inch LCD monitor, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards and accessories that enhance every aspect of the photographic experience.
Customer Review: Wonderful camera!
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.
Customer Review: Excelent camera - lens are 3.5 stars
This is my first digital SLR. I love it!
The camera has a lot to play (and learn) with. It has the latest technology from Canon. The live view doesn’t seem to work as a point and shoot yet it may not be a deal breaker. The lens are so-so. By reading other reports one realizes that there are much better lens to replace it. The camera is light and no so bulky as other SLRs.
If you plan to buy a general purpose zoom it may not make sense to buy the body with the lens even at the cheap price difference (unless you want to sell it later).

Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras Further development of Canon’s flagship Speedlite has led to the production of the 580 EX II. This is the premier Speedlite for all photographers, including professionals. Newly designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible.
Customer Review: Overall I love it
I have the Canon 420EX, 430EX, 580EX and now the 580EXII, so I have some experience with the Canon line of flash units. =0) Although there are a couple of drawbacks, I almost always choose the EX II over the EX. It does recycle faster, which is a must for wedding photography. (I recommend getting Powerex batteries to keep up with it.) I also like the way it mounts on my camera vs. the other strobes. Other people have said it slips off the shoe, but I’ve never had that happen. In fact, I find the twist-mount on the older models loosen a lot.

It has the longest performance with no memory effect, highest quality Japanese made, original manufacturer approved protective circuit and it is 100% compatible with original equipment chargers.
Customer Review: Works For Me
This product works well in my Canon 1100 IS digital elph camera. The price is amazing and the capability, as far as I can tell, is identical to the Canon battery which costs up to six times more. I’m thinking about buying another one so I can have a third battery around in case I forget to charge the backup–which I’ve done more than once! At this price, I can have an extra at home and another in the car.
Customer Review: As Good as the Original
Works as good as the original battery that came with the camera. A great second battery.

The case is fairly nice and adequate. It would be a lot better if it had a small pouch for an extra battery and memory card.
Customer Review: Great Camera Case
I purchased this camera case instead of the case logic zipper case to protect my camera when it’s rolling around in my purse. This works great and it’s very easy to get the camera out quickly for those spur-of-the-moment shots.

Canon Digital Elph Accessory Kit for Canon SD950 IS, SD900, SD870 IS & SD850 IS Digital Cameras designed for use with Canon PowerShot SD700 IS * genuine leather carrying case (PSC-55) * leather hand strap * NB-5L lithium ion rechargeable battery * plastic-coated braided metal neck strap *
Customer Review: Canon camera accessory kit
This is a great case for my Canon SD 850. I traveled in Europe with it on my belt, out of sight and there when I needed it. Nice to have the Canon back up battery too.
Customer Review: Good battery, disappointing case
I bought this kit for my SD 870 IS because it was just a few dollars more than the battery alone. Having the extra battery (and the piece-of-mind of having a Canon battery) was worth the cost. The batteries last a surprisingly long time, and one will certainly last long enough to charge another battery.
The battery is the end of the value in this package for me. I didn’t feel like the SD870 fit in the case very well. So the case has remained in the box. The strap seems rather frivolous. I’d rather have a strap on my camera that I can get a firm hold on.
I wish I had bought just the battery instead. The extras aren’t worth the few extra dollars.
