Canon Digital Rebel XS!?

So, I was wondering... Can you film video on it? Thanks!

Terms first. Digital cameras don't "film" - that's only in the movies. Digital cameras record.

No you can't record video on it. I own one and it doesn't do video.

Nope. If recording videos is what you're shooting for, I would suggest buying a camcorder instead - unless photography is more important to you than making videos.

Best Answer

It is an excellent camera but it can not do video.

Here are the three best DSLRs that do video that I know of:

Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) DSLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens - $769
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $649
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550

I provide some links below, the first goes to a webpage that has the above 3 cameras on a listing page where you can compare features/specs and there are links on that page to reviews for each of the cameras. The other links I list here are to photo dealers to share some options to help you find a good deal.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Nope, the Canon XSi does not have video. If you want to stay with the Canon line, I'd suggest checking out the Canon T1i. It's roughly the same size as the XSi (since it's also a Rebel) but it's got video capabilities. Good luck to you!
