hmmm...XSi or 30D (body only)? Price point on B&H is the same.

A kit lens at 18-55 doesn't offer too much versatility. I'd suggest getting just the body and picking up something like a 28-105 which is relatively cheap and good for all-around shooting.

And about Nikon... I'm always going to be a Canon fanboy, so Canon > Nikon

Do you really think the 28-105 is wide enough for the Canon DSLR with 1.6x crop? I think you need somthing wider for an around lens.

I have an 18-200 Lens in mine. made by sigma and had image stabilization

awesome lens

It's not, but that's whrere a separate fast, wide-angle lens comes in... I have a 24-105 f/4 and 24 isn't wide enough indoors and f/4 is difficult handheld in low light. BUT, the range of 24-105 is great for everyday use.

Is this still a cropped sensor?

For what it is worth, I had the 28-135 IS lens and I can't say that I liked it. Wasn't fast enough for me, so I didn't get the shallow depth of field I was looking for on full zoom and in low light conditions it wasn't wide open enough.

Yes, all "cheap comcumer" Canon DSLR have a 1.6 crop factor.

Apart from the pro 1D that's 1.3 crop and the fullframe 5D and 1Ds.

With my 40D and its 1.6 CF, I'm hurt!

Would you say an xsi is a good camera to get for a beginner?

Yes, it's the entry DSLR from Canon so yes, it's a beginner camera.

but I love my D80. So far it has been one of the best dslr's I've had, in all honesty though canons are much easier to operate
