Canon EOS 500D / Digital Rebel T1i Body Only Digital Camera

Canon EOS 500D SLR camera review : In a slight up-tempo, Canon has introduced a new digital SLR, the Canon EOS 500D. At this time, the Canon 500D is ranked in between several existing EOS cameras such as the 1000D / 450D and the EOS 50D. This is already the sixth generation EOS digital SLR camera since the EOS 300D was introduced in 2003. In the meantime, a lot has been improved and renewed, and looking back, it is impressive to see how much has changed in a short period of time, which has certainly added to the image quality

Just got this camera as an upgrade from the 400d, So far very pleased. The image quality is a noticeable step up and the new 3 inch Hi res screen is a very welcome addition as you can now check that your shots are in focus in camera!

Whilst the new video feature is very good in terms of image quality, it is fairly limited and clumbersome in functionality, and with no external mic imput your are only left with the onboard mic which tends to pic up alot of camera noise.

I Quite like the fact that it takes SD cards instead of CF as well, as they are at least half the price.

This is a great camera for someone who wants to get a bit more serious about their photography without forking out thousands for a pro level feature set, and coupled with a good quality lens it is more than possible to get very decent shots indeed.

This was bought as an upgrade from my 300D.The camera is much improved and very user friendly.The quality of picture and ease of use put mobile phone companies to shame.

The camera can be used by the begginer, the advanced or even by granny and all will get great pictures . The addition of a suitable Canon lens will pay dividens and be well worth the extra funds.

Simply put, one of the best on the market , perhaps the best, in its price range, and a camera that will still be 'up there with the best' for years to come .

If you are loking to get a camera that is of professional standard but don't want to pay the earth then this is the one for you. At around £475-£550 for body only then this is a really great purchase.

Previous camera was 1000d. This one has few extras like spot metering and movie mode. Frame rate on HD slow though (20 fps) but you can still extract still 2mp pics from them. Screen is bigger and resolution alot better. The on screen menu 'set' facility is great. Does feel plasticky but at that price, c'mon!
Live view focusing is slow but only supposed to be used with still shots.
Won a few awards (check online). Closest competitor...Nikon D5000.

A replacement for a Canon 20D which I loved but was very heavy and bulky, I wonder at the ability of Canon to squeeze so much into what is a very manageable DSLR. Torn between this and the 50D, I decided that this one offered the handling qualities I wanted - it really is very comfortable and quite light, it's the lenses which seem to add disproportional bulk! However, with fairly standard lenses (I have EF-S 17-85 IS USM and EF-S 55-250 IS) it is still a well balanced piece of kit.
Another real attraction for me was the 3 inch, 920,000 pixel LCD. A massive improvement on the 20D, it really is bright, clear and sharp, with excellent colour rendition, and only in very bright sunlight does it fail to impress. The new Digic4 processor is very impressive offering high definition and very low noise even at high ISO levels. Combined with the more than adequate 15.1 megapixel sensor, the unit delivers remarkable images.
I found the buttons, dials and controls both sturdy and accessible, and, unlike the 20D, much more intuitive. The menu is also much more clearly and systematically laid out. The 50D is slightly faster, has more features and a burst rate of 6.3fps while the 500D gives just 3.4fps. Am I bothered? No! I have rarely used it and when I have 3.4fps has always been quite enough.
The real drawback for me was paying a relatively high price for HD video. It simply did not attract me at all - I am a 'stills man'! Or am I? I've had so much fun recording movies, even in very low light levels, I don't understand how I have managed without it! My neighbour, the worse for wine, singing along to Kathy Kirby at a recent street party had the rest of us in tears! I'm still considering blackmail!
Are there faults? Well, I haven't found any but I'm not a pro. As with all DSLR's, the lenses do make a difference. I've only the two, but I can see the difference in image quality. I only wish I could justify buying (or even afford!) L series lenses. But that's just being picky, toys for the boys! I'm a semi-serious amateur and I think the 500D is great.
All my research pointed me to the 500D, or the Nikon D90. It would have been a real dilemma had I not already had Canon lenses as there really does not seem to be much to choose between the two.
As a footnote, I should mention that I also bought a Lowepro split camera case/ruck sac combination which accommodates the 500D, spare lens, battery, cleaning bits, and so on, whilst giving lots of space for day trip paraphernalia and this has solved lots of transport problems.

I needed camera and I decided to buy on e bay. Most important of all was price. Canon EOS 500D / Digital Rebel T1i Body Only Digital Camera I bought body because I have few lenses from my old canon 50e. My score i gave could be excellent but box have been a little a bit damage except that I'm very happy happy happy
