XSI SLR Camera
Is the Canon xSi digital SLR camera the only Canon digital camera that uses SD memory cards?
I have always used Canon for P&S cameras, so I own nothing but SD memory cards. I want to buy a Canon brand of digital SLR now, but don’t want to use a new type of memory card. After some research, it looks to me like the xSi is the only one that is an option for Canon – would that be correct?
No.
The current list of Canon Digital SLRs that use SD/SDHC are:
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS (aka 1000D)
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi (aka 450D)
Also the more expensive/professional models that have SD/SDHC and CF card capability. (It wouldn’t make sense to buy these just for SD card capability. Much cheaper to buy new CF cards that will work with any of the other Canon Digital SLRs.)
EOS-1D Mark II
EOS-1D Mark II N
EOS-1D Mark III
EOS-1Ds Mark II
EOS-1Ds Mark III
In the end… Compact Flash cards are not very expensive. My opinion is buy whatever camera suits you best and then buy memory cards if you need to. The XS and XSi are great cameras to learn full manual control of the camera on. If your a beginner or don’t know much, one of those two cameras is the one to get. If you’ve got some experience or take photography pretty seriously, a camera like the 40D, 50D, 5D, or 5D Mark II may be more suited to your needs.
If all you have are regular SD cards, you may find that they are not large enough to hold many pictures, so you may end up having to buy larger SDHC cards anyways. Just another thing to consider.
