Memory Cards for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi?
I’m getting a Canon EOS Rebel XSi in just a bit, and I was wondering what memory cards are compatible with it? Would any memory card work, or are there only specific brands and types?
Thanks!
Your camera uses SD and SDHC cards, brand should not matter at all. Some of the bigger better known brands are Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston, and Transcend. I am very happy with Sandisk cards. Sandisk (and other brands) have different quality level cards that offer faster speeds and usually are more durable. Sandisk has their regular cards that are good, then the “Ultra” cards that are better, and then the “Extreme” cards that are best.
Here is an rough estimated cost for cards:
4GB cards for $10 to $20
8GB cards for $20 to $30
16GB cards for $35 to $50
Below are some links that can help you shop, plus 2 of the photo dealers listed below, B&H Photo and Adorama, have customer reviews of products.
Hope this helps.

Xsi Rebel : First Time Dlsr Users Beware
I have only had this camera for a few days but I feel compelled to warn users who are looking for their first dslr camera. I read many, many reviews and comparisons and yet did not realize that this camera does not shoot video, while the Nikon D5000 does shoot video and does not cost a lot more money and gets very similar marks on all other aspects. (I found the Nikon D5000 to be less than $100 more than the Canon XSi Rebel).
I also was very disappointed to realize, upon reading the manual, that the “live view” is no where near what I was expecting.
It is only “recommended” for use with a tripod because camera shake will cause the images to be blurred. (that is directly from the manual). Being optimistic, I tried it without a tripod anyway, and it is true; all shots I took while using the “live view” are blurry to some degree, even when using the flash. I guess it’s true that you have to use the view finder in “grown up cameras” (aka: dslr cameras).
I have owned a Canon Powershot (not dslr, it’s a great point and shoot) for a few years and it has video (which is superb even in low light, not dark, but low like indoors in the evening) and it is always a “live view”, but that’s a given because nearly all point and shoot cameras are. my friends who own dslr cameras warned me that when I was ready to move up in the world of cameras, I was going to have to get used to using the view finder instead of the view-screen to set up my shots. Well, I thought I could stay in my comfort zone using the view-screen by buying the Canon XSi Rebel because of the “live view” feature. I believe now that is it more of a gimmick. But I do realize that this is spoken like a true point and shoot user, not a pro photographer.
Every dslr owner I know insists that once you get used to it, using the viewfinder is much better, so I can adjust to using the viewfinder. (even though my baby thinks I’ve turned into an alien when I put the camera up to my face. so much for making her smile while holding the camera out to the side like I did with my powershot.) however, at this point, it’s mostly the ability to shoot video that I am really missing. I feel pretty dumb about not seeing that little fact when researching, but even when I went back today looking at more comparisons, I still don’t find many reviews/comparisons that really point out that difference between the nikon D5000 and the XSi Rebel.
The comparisons mainly focus on the image quality. Which, by the way, I am truly thrilled with. The Canon seems to be holding strong on it’s reputation of having the best image color and quality in the business. (to my knowledge)
I just think that for that price range ($550-$650) the fact that one can shoot video and the other can’t is a very big difference that new-to-dslr folks should know.

Canon gently updates its entry-level dSLR and accessories lineup
For the first time in ages, the company announces a new model at the bottom of its dSLR line, the EOS Rebel T3, along with a modest update to the T2i at the top, an iteration of its kit lens, and two enhanced low-end flash units.
