The employees in all these places are afraid their manager will catch them and fire them if caught taking picutres of products, especially if they are not officially supposed to be released.

Or customers take quick shots for fear that they will be thrown out the store.

Or its the same malfunctioning camera with a busted lens focus mechanism that's been passed from person to person over the last 15 years whenever a tech photo opportunity comes up.]]>Apr 11th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/

I've been playing with one for the past week at work. I like it well enough, though I personally liked having the ISO button on the back and the drive mode button on the top myself. High ISO noise in the images is nonexistent at normal ISO's, and still quite bearable even at ISO 1600. Some of the new features are kinda gadgety though... if I ever see someone shooting pictures with live view on an SLR as if they had a point-n-shoot, I'd be hard pressed to suppress the urge to beat them within an inch of their life with their own camera.

My rating? Good piece of kit, decent backup for a pro, great camera for the advanced amateur, I'd buy one today if I had the cash to spend on it. If you're more of a Joe Consumer, do yourself a favor and buy a point-n-shoot instead, I'd suggest the Canon S5-IS.]]>Apr 11th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/

Love your hardware...but please drop the Rebel name and go with the more professional name xxxD. At minimum it makes google searches 10x easier because there is a single device name. Rebel is a vestige of yesteryear that needs to be dropped. ]]>Apr 11th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 12th 2008 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/Apr 11th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/canons-rebel-xsi-turns-up-in-retail-spy-shot/
