Canon Digital Rebel XSi Test Shots

We know that Canon's Digital Rebel XSi (EOS 450D to the rest of the world) has about the best feature set of any entry level DSLR. But what do the damn photos look like? DPReview already got their hands on a production model and have thrown up a gallery of sample shots. This one was shot with the new image stabilized kit lens at 800 ISO. Hit the jump for another shot at 1600 ISO to get a taste of how noisy (or not) the higher settings are, or just check out their whole gallery.

First Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi Hands On: Your XTi Is Now Junk

Unlike Nikon's D40x update, the D60, I'm pretty sure the Canon guy would've noticed if I swapped out my XTi with the XSi Indiana Jones style, and not just because it's tied to the table (I really wanted to). It feels more solid, both in the material (not as toy-like) and in the grip, which now uses the same kind of rubber roughage as the 40D to feel more manly.

Its interface is sexier, with subtle shading and color options, which look even better thanks to the great LCD screen (a necessity with live view, which well, worked). Shooting produced a more satisfying click than than the XTi as well and the autofocus was definitely snappy. We obviously couldn't subject it to lotsa photo tests right here, but if the specs and our bit of time add up correctly, this is the new entry-level DSLR king. [Giz @ PMA]
