The T1i shoots video. The XSi does not. Other than that they are fairly similar.
Main difference is T1i come with HD video features and more mega pixel
Hi Michael. I’ve been a pro at this business in both television and stills for over 30-years and I truly admire anyone with the gusto to try to start a business or at least want to take quality photos even as a hobby.
Let me ask has your wife had any formal training in photography, say from a school or a pro who has lots of experience? If not you may want to consider that. Just get in touch with a friend who has that kind of experience. If you have none I’ll be glad to email some tips if you’re interested.
The only reason I bring this up is because if you’re going to make a substantial investment in gear perhaps it would be a good thing if she knows something about photography up front.
Sorry if I sound too cautious… I’m only trying to get you think about the investment before you make it. I live by the 5 P’s. Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
If you want to discuss further you can reach me through my profile.
Good Luck – Jim
