I have been using the Canon Powershot G6 for railfan photography but am tiring of its limitations such as poor low-light photographing abilities and softness in crops. Lately, I've been shooting rail photos only in RAW.
I'm looking into DSLRS.
I was considering the higher-end entry level Canon EOS Rebel T1i, but after reading a review at Cameralabs.com,

it appears the mid-range Rebel, the XSi would work as well for me and at a better price.
What experiences have others had converting from Powershots to DSLRs?

So you should really only choose the 500D / T1i over the 450D / XSi if you’re either coupling it with decent lenses, or value its new features, like the HD Movies and VGA screen. If you’re not bothered by the movies or screen and intend to use the kit lens, then save yourself some money and go for the older 450D / XSi. It remains an excellent DSLR which is likely to fall in price further as stocks last.The Rebel Xs I assume would be good but the XSi has more pixels, a bigger screen, live view and some other features.
