Say what?
Apparently the Canon Spring Photography contest lists an XSTi as the first prize. You can see this on page 95 of Outdoor Photographer Magazine.
Probable typo? I hope so, that would be quite a mouthful to say.
thanks Mark

Exactly. Get the camera that meets your needs and works the best for you, and I’ll do the same. :D
That’s totally wrong, I know professionnal who still working with a 400D and they are happy with it for everything, landscpaes, portrait, macro, fashion show etc… I know noobs who uses 1Ds Mark X for family pictures. So stop with those stupid legends. If you want to do your professionnal, then buy a 5D mark II. How ridiculus.. Buy better lenses instead always get the latest body, don’t fall in the marketing thing.
I owned a 40D, but during my long trekking week end with my heavy lenses, I thought it was too big and pretty stupid to charge my backpack like that. So i bought a 450D and I relly feel better. I don’t say that because I have it, actually if it was shit, I would say it here but it’s not, except the lens in the kit, the IS function works really bad, or maybe not. I have a better holding with a little body and a big lens than a bigger body who actually does the same job.
Plus as the 40D is older than the 450D, and by the way I really don’t noticed big difference between the 2 bodies except for the weight and the size. So please stop saying that the 450D sux and the 40D is better because I would say that the 5D pwns you, i don’t those wannabe, yeah I own a better cam that ya and it’s da best..
Even if you have money, buy “L” only, you’ll be same happy with a 400D or a 40D. Look on flickr, some pictures with the old 350D stuck me on the floor! and when i see some pictures taken with a 40D or the new 50D, i’m really disapointed..
It is not uncommon to see “STi” tacked onto the end of a car’s model name (“sports turbo injection”, maybe?). Probably just a little slip on the part of the author.
I’m not against a better camera :)
I just feel that somebody who starts to learn photography should be aware that it is not the automatics and the feel of holding the camera who takes the pictures, but the photographer. But if you can, buy the better camera, just never forget this. Nowadays too many people forget about this.
Btw, my dream camera is like a 5DII but with a size like a little compact, and full direct manual control to “everything”. I hate such big cameras and to carry all those lenses. They are in the way of creativity.
So handling matters, but there is a reason why I’ll buy the 5DII and not a compact :) The sensor, the manual controls…
Everyone should get a Pentax K-1000 and put it on “Automatic” for best results.
