The XSi is an amazing camera thats takes impressive pictures.
If the price is right and the tests you do look good (look for hot pixels or smudges on the image)
Take a SD card with you so you can actually test the camera. It should have no “dings” on it and the lens should have a nice UV filter on it to protect the lenses front element.
In addition, all the pieces that came with the camera when purchased should be there.
Body:
- quality of build
- ergonomics
- image quality
- system compatibility with older accessories
- number of lens available for camera
Lens:
- focal length
- max f-stop rating
- autofocus type
- VR or IS (optical stabalisation)
- build quality
- price
