Which Canon Camera? EOS or Powershot?

Question

I'm a 13 year old who has owned a Canon Powershot A10, a Canon Powershot SD200, and a recently purchased Canon Powershot SD870 IS Digital ELPH. I'm now looking for something that is more powerful and more customizable (in terms of manually adjustable exposure, aperture, etc, not add ons), and I'm looking at the Powershot G9, and the Canon Powershot Digital Rebel XSi with Kit Lens. I'm leaning towards the XSi, but I'm looking for a second opinion. If there's a different camera you think would be better, let me know. My only restrictions are that it must be latest generation, it must be Canon, and it must be no more expensive than the XSi with lens.

Answer 1

there is no such thing as a powershot rebel camera.

of all the ones you mentioned the rebel xsi is the best. you can read comprehensive reviews and compare specs and features at dpreview.com.

remember that the most important part of any camera is 6 iches behind the viewfinder when the shutter clicks.

Answer 2

I have the XTi because I have no use for the live view in a DSLR.  I don't use a tripod much, and that is the only time live view would be beneficial.  No way would I hold a heavy camera out in front of me to take a pic like with a point & shoot  

My opinion is that I would rather have the XTi which is a tried and true popular model and is cheaper.   That leaves me more to spend on another lens.  Just my opinion.
