I have the original Canon Rebel, a Canon Rebel XTi, and a Canon 50D. I chose Canon over Nikon because they had a bigger range of less expensive lenses. I LOVE my cameras!! The XSi will totally be enough for you to get great shots of your kids. I have a wide variety of lenses, but I find that I use my Canon 50mm f1.4 and my Tokina 50-135 f2.8 the most when shooting young children. Like Laura said, the longer lens allows you to get great shots without having to be up on the kids. If you twins are anything like my twins the minute they see the camera they either give the goofy cheese or look away.

Good luck!

I recently upgraded to a DSLR as well and went with Nikon. I highly suggest you get a good zoom lense. It’s great for pics of kids. So, you can be sitting back, but zoom in for those great expressions and action shots. It helps them feel more at ease, I think, because you’re not right on top of them with the camera.
