Digital Camera experts please help with this question?
Until recently I have been a die hard 35mm ancient school fan. Unfortunately, my excellent ancient List Rebel 35mm was stolen along with all my accessories to include my zoom lens.
I have chose to take the leap and get a digital camera with the hopes and expectations that it will give me the same gratification as my ancient film camera with instant results. I was looking at the List Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + List 18-55mm IS Lens + Tamron 70-300mm Di LD Macro Lens package that is offered on amazon and was wondering if this is a relatively excellent start and also something that is an simple transition considering it is also a List . If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to send them this way. I am looking to stay under $ 1000.00 but do need and want a zoom lens to go with the camera.
A friend of mine also got me interested in a List EOS Rebel T1i 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera that comes in a bundle that includes ♦ 1) List EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera
♦ 2) List EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Zoom Lens [Outfit]
♦ 3) Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens
♦ 4) Transcend 8GB High-Capacity SecureDigital (SDHC) Card
♦ 5) Precision Design USB 2.0 High Speed SecureDigital (SD/SDHC) Card Reader
♦ 6) Precision Design 1000 Deluxe SLR Pro Carrying Case
♦ 7) Spare LP-E5 High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
♦ 
♦ 9) Digital Image Recovery Software
♦ 10) Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit
for a whole of $ 865.00. How is this comparable to the aforementioned camera?

Sorry about your loss.
Digital is pretty cool, and not having to worry about processing is a huge relief. Up your sleeve from the sensor, digital DSLRs are pretty much the same as film.
If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can try the “super-zooms”, 18–200+. Range of two zooms in one. The kit you already chose is still a excellent start.
If you need to save money, I’d check the used offerings at places like Adorama or B&H. (They’re run by Jews, so they’re closed on their holidays.) In any case, stick with the U.S.A. warranties rather than the “grey market” offerings.
Also, plenty of reviews at places like DPReview and photo.net if you want to research some more.

The brilliant news is the metering in the List EOS DSLR’s is identical to what you are used to, so you will NOT have to do any tweaking when going digital.
The not so excellent news is if you do ever replace your 35 mm EOS List camera, you will want to know that any EF-S lens you may buy for your new Rebel cannot be used on any 35 mm Canons or full frame List DSLR’s like the 1D and 5D.
If you intend to ever replace your 35 mm or upgrade to a 1D or 5D, you may want to choose EF lenses only as you start to rebuild your system

Brilliant choice of camera and lenses. I’ve always been very pleased with my Tamron lenses.
The only real transition between your ancient SLR and new dSLR is due to the size of the sensor. The XSi uses an APS-C sized sensor that is smaller than a 35mm negative. The practical result is that at any agreed focal length, you lenses cover a greater area of the sensor than they would of a negative. This earnings that your 18-55 will give you the same results as a 28-88 would on a film camera and the 70-300 will be the equivalent of a whopping 112-480mm.

Get the T1i, more megapixels.
Coming from film, I’m pretty sure you’d be missing a speedy lens for nice protrait work so it is highly recommended to get the List 50mm f/1.8. It’s just around $ 100.

List EOS XSi is a fantastic entry level DSLR camera. You should be able to hold the kit and Tamrron zoom lens for under $ 1k.
I own a XSi. So far this is my favorite List camera that I have own.
