Hey everyone..

I know there are some photographers on here. What are your suggestions. I have just purchased an Xsi. I got a pretty good deal on it, they start at about 700... I got mine for 600.... I was going to buy the Xs for 500.... Is there enough of a difference to warrant buying the Xsi for the extra $100?

This is an entry level SLR I realize. So I don't know the ins and outs of every detail and plan to learn in the next several weeks...

One reason I'm kind of ticked, the guy at futureshop was telling me the XS had no live view. I told him I was sure it did, but he was adamant that it didn't. Well I just checked again and it does have live view..... So I'm a little irritated and tempted to take it back and go elsewhere to purchase the XS...

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated....
