I previously owned a measly point and shoot camera, so upgrading to this camera was a huge jump for me. it took some time getting used to, but once I've learned was quite easy to use. i shoot manually without (much) trouble now.
The lens that came with this camera was pretty crappy (EF-S 18-55mm USM). You should definitely get a better lens for the full experience. I recently bought Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for pretty cheap and it takes the most amazing pictures with this camera

I bought this camera from Amazon back in April. I ordered it on a Friday afternoon and received it the following Monday morning. It has been GREAT so far. This is my is my first digital SLR so I had some learning to do but this camera was very easy to learn and operate. The picture quality is very good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially those who are purchasing a digital SLR for the first time.

I have had my XTI for over a year and still love the camera. The pictures are sharp and the color is great. Well worth the investment. I would have prefered a wide angle lens to the 18-55mm, but it is a good starter lens.

This is a good entry level camera that has a lot to give at a cheap price. However, I recommend the following:
Do not get the kit lens. Its decent, but it you can save your cash and buy a general purpose prime lens, like the 50 mm f1.4 ($300).
I am happy with this camera, however I can't wait for canon to come out with a full frame sensor, at a below 1000 dollar price.
I would also, like to see wider and more bracketing ability. 3 frames per bracket is not bad, but I wish it had more.My canon sx100 has a hacked firmware loaded that allows me to bracket multiple shots. The hack gives me the ability to alter f stop, as well as shutter speed for brackets. I'm hoping someone hacks the xti.
Most annoying: When you want to bracket you need to dig into a menu. That sucks.
proactive dust solution: I change lens a lot, so I'm happy that it has a proactive solution to dust. So far, I have not had a problem.
Over all, a great camera to start out with.
