Canon Rebel XSi

Best Buy has the Canon Rebel XSi body with an 18-55mm IS lens and a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III zoom lens for $999.98. Best Buy has the retail value of the entire package as $1134.98 saving you $135.

No need for two lenses? Get the XSi body with just the 18-55mm IS lens for $899.99.

OUR TAKE: "...the XSi will unquestionably win converts to Canon with its (still) excellent AF system, super-smooth CMOS sensor with very impressive high ISO performance, and (for some users, at least) reasonably functional live view system." (DCR Review, 5/1/08)

Canon PowerShot SD750

Features include: 7.1-megapixels, 3x optical/4x digital/12x total zoom, UA lens, 3" PureColor TFT-LCD monitor, automatic image rotation, adjustable brightness, and rapid 1-second start-up time.

Nikon Coolpix L18

Target has Nikon Coolpix L18 for $129. I did find it cheaper online (Beach Camera: $120.95) but it's always nice to be able to use your camera the minute you buy it. Features include: 8 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 3" LCD screen, automatic red-eye removal and face-priority autofocus.

OUR TAKE: "The new model does, however, offer face detection, red-eye reduction, and Nikon's D-Lighting technology. Like previous variants in this series, the L18 runs on AAs, and a super-simple Easy Auto Mode returns for the new offering as well." (DCR Announcement, 1/28/08)

YOUR TAKE: "Pics of flowers are better than in magazines. Crisp, clear, pure. Professional looking." (submitted by Tracie)
