Canon has added to the entry-level segment, the new EOS Rebel T2i. Born with the popularity of the Canon EOS Rebel T1i, the EOS Rebel T2i is designed to offer more choice to the video function.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i – Features:

So this article is really about whether you should buy a Digital Rebel 450D or 500D.
Historically, Canon has added to the Rebel line of cameras about every 2 years.
Each new entry has had some very significant upgrades from the previous model.
That is, until you get to the most recent offering, which hit the market only about a year after the previous version.
I have checked with some very reliable sources to come to the conclusion that the previous version of Digital Rebel (the XSi) is a very reliable, well featured digital camera that takes photos that are considered among the best at this level and price range.
There are a few differences that I will note:
* 12.2 megapixels vs 15.1 megapixels (not significant at all considering the ability to print super large pictures from either)
* DIGIC 4 processor vs DIGIC III processor (while the DIGIC 4 is better, unless you are a pixel prude, you will not be able to tell the difference)
* 3″ LCD with a resolution of about 930,000 pixels vs 3: LCD with a resolution of about 230,000 pixels (while this seems significant, what you see on the LCD panel should not drive your decision to purchase)
* Creative Auto is available only on the newer model (this is a way to alter the output of your camera by added “photo filters” – some reviews have stated that the output is not consistent… I prefer to make these changes in photoshop or some other processing software)
* Video Capture is available only on the newer model (while this may be a deciding factor for you, reviews have had mixed feelings about the video capabilities, especially the lack of a good sound recorder)

Canon Digital Rebel XSi is an improvement over its predecessor Rebel XTi, which was no different from its earlier versions. This camera scores over its counterparts in performance and image quality in several ways.
(For the information of the uninitiated, SLR is a short form for Digital Single Lens Reflex mechanism used in modern ESO (Electro-Optical System) cameras. This system uses a mirror placed behind the camera lens. When the shutter is released the mirror instantly goes out of the way and allows the light to fall straight on the sensor. The SLR design facilitates the use of a wide range of focal length lengths, which is not possible in non-SLR cameras.)

Of those differences, the ones that might be of most note to a first time DSLR buyer are:
1. HD video capability – if you are moving up from a compact digital camera, you will be used to having video capability. But be aware that this camera is not a camcorder. While it has excellent video recording, there are two things that you need to know. First, there is no stereo sound or mic input. Second, the length of recording is quite a bit shorter than a dedicated camcorder.
2. 3″ LCD with 920K pixel resolution. This is quite a big improvement in the ability to see the screen in bright light. The XSi output is only 230K pixels.
3. Creative Auto – this set of features lets the photographer tell the camera what conditions he is shooting in and what he wants the output to be. Basically, Canon says that Creative Auto will allow you to learn DSLR photography while still getting excellent photos during the learning process.
4. Face Detection in Live View – this is a new feature to many DSLRs which is quite common in point and shoot cameras. It can be an added bonus if you are used to having it.I think that both cameras would be a fantastic fit for anyone except the extreme amateur or the professional photographer.

Canon EOS 40D
The 10-megapixel Canon EOS 40D is a bit pricey compared to some of the other semi-pro digital SLR cameras in the market. But many reviews say that the 40D is worth your money, what with 6.5 frames per second shooting speed, magnesium body, good water resistance, and built-in sensor cleaner. The EOS 40D also has a nine-point autofocus which improves accuracy. The LCD has a live preview feature and shows the camera settings on another LCD screen at the top part of the camera. This camera is ideal for action shots because of its fast shooting speed.

If you are looking for a top notch Digital Camera this is definitely the camera to look at. Great features for an entry level professional photographer or even the top notch photographer looking for new Camera. This is a great learning tool for a beginer photographer. Using this Camera has been a great experience.
