That's an XS, if I'm not mistaken. |

I have used my different cameras and have found the complex cameras give you the best detail but distract you from your purpose.
Keep it simple sems to work for me.
currently I am using a CannonSX10IS no interchangeable lenses but it has a range freom 28mm equlant up to some telephoto lenght 20x but I do prefer shooting at 28mm.
great topic

I don't agree about complex cameras distracting me from my purpose. The trick is to know, and I mean REALLY KNOW your gear. You have to be able to switch setting in a moments notice, with out looking at things. The more complex cameras have more switches and dials to keep you from having to dig though menu options.

I can switch many settings within four seconds; My Resolution within two but I can customize the button to be other things such as profiles (B&W, high contrast, low contrast, custom1,2,3,4, etc) |

Indeed. Understanding how to work a DSLR camera is like understanding what brushstrokes to use on a painting, and how to mix colours to get what you want. It does complicate things a bit, but at the same time it does allow you to be more creative, and control the image better. |

I use a Canon Rebel T1i. Just got it about a month ago as a graduation present. Before that I was using a Canon Powershot S5is.

Sounds like a nice change. Are you enjoying your new camera?

I feel inadequate next to everyone and their more expensive cameras. I know my step dad has an older Canon EOS Rebel around here somewhere.

The Rebel is also a great camera. I used that for a while, back when it was brand new.  |

The XTi, XSi, T1i are all Rebels  When I hear "Rebel" alone, I think of the Film Camera. Are you still talking digital? |
