XSi/450D Makes Life Easier For The Point And Shot Photographer
Let’s talk for a minute about sensor and the ISO values. Canon EOS XSi has five ISO values you can choose: 100 (best image quality), 200, 400, 800, and 1600. Higher ISO increases the camera sensor’s sensitivity to light, thus you can achieve faster shutter speeeds for a given lighting condition. However, the commerce-off is that the sensor “noise” will increase with higher ISO, so that you get a degraded image high quality in return for much less blurred images from hand shakes (thanks to faster shutter speed). This will likely come in useful in situations where flash photography shouldn’t be permitted, corresponding to a museum or a concert or theater. HOWEVER, in comparison with level-and-shoot digital cameras, the bigger sensors of DSLRs, including the XSi, means that even at ISO 800 and 1600 you get very usable images right out of the digital camera. Running the images shot at those ISO settings through any number of third-party noise reduction software will improve them even further.
This ties in to another very useful feature of the Canon EOS XSi that makes life easier for the photographer: The Auto ISO function. By default, Auto ISO sets the ISO (the sensor sensitivity to light) between 100 and 800 (by using custom functions, this can be changed to 200-1600). If you’re, for instance, capturing your kid’s indoor basketball recreation and you understand that you want a shutter speed of no less than 1/200 sec to “freeze” the motion, then you’ll be able to set the digicam to Tv (shutter precedence mode) and set the worth to 1/200, and set the camera to Auto ISO. Then the camera will match the aperture and the ISO to achieve proper exposure at that shutter speed. With my other DSLRs, setting the digicam to shutter priority solely allowed the camera to adjust the aperture worth; ISO setting needed to be adjusted manually. With the Canon EOS XSi, the ability for the camera to adjust the ISO value automatically makes it one less thing for you the photographer to worry about.
I have had some great success taking pictures in a studio setting as well as some nice outdoor shots. In the studio, I used tungsten “hot” lights with the subjuect against a white background. The images turned out nice. Pores and skin tones are excellent and there may be little or no, if any, chromatic abberation on the edges. It shoots great outdoor photographs as nicely. We just received into beekeeping and I was capable of get some AMAZING shots of our bees up-shut open air. The bees looked dirty and not very interesting from a distance, but the macro photos I got up close are beautiful and full of wonderfully crisp details.
