I’ve been waiting for years for an SLR camera model to come out that has changeable lenses and has the vibe of an instamatic camera. A camera that would be affordable and user-friendly even to amateur users by making the focusing, and customization and adjustment of settings a breeze. This is exactly what I found in the Minolta SLR camera QTsi 35mm kit. The bundled 35-80mm lens is great for taking closeup shots and extending shooting distance.

The best camera to buy is a Canon, but if you do not like the price, you could find something comparable, but the picture quality, functions and features may be lees than expected. You can still compare other cameras and see if you can find something that you would like. Find the best Canon digital camera and then look for comparable cameras from different manufacturers.

The LCD viewing angle is excellent, which is probably around 160-170 degrees vertically and horizontally. The Digital Rebel XSi also has a status screen separated from, and located above, the main screen of the LCD. This arrangement works for me because I’m able to see all the settings on the back screen. There are also two features that the XSi has that used to be missing in the Digital Rebels: flash exposure compensation and spot metering. These for me are important features because they make the images more “complete” and compelling.

Aside from the usual 2-second timer, the XSi now has a customizable timer function which allows the camera to count from 10 seconds then capture successive images as specified by the user. As for the ISO values, the XSi 450D has five values to choose from: 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600.

Higher ISO values makes the camera more sensitive to light, which makes it possible to achieve faster shutter speeds under certain lighting conditions. If you’re not familiar with ISO settings, you can opt to use the Auto ISO function which automatically sets and matches the ISO and the aperture to ensure proper exposure at certain shutter speeds.

The Canon PowerShot compact cameras and the Canon Rebel SLR cameras are the leaders for digital cameras, but everyone has a different preference. Just look around at the many digital cameras and you are going to find a camera that will suit all your needs.
