i would agree except i think the xsi is an exception to the rebel family. it's pretty legit given the price and its features. i would either do the xsi or something better, i.e. a used 30/40D , and keh.com is fucking awesome apparently. i've never used it myself, but i've heard from numerous people that their ratings are extremely conservative. so when they said it's in good condition, it's actually in like mint condition, etc. again tho, if you're working on a limited budget, put the money into the glass, not the body necessarily.
