I love photography and I bought a Canon EOS XSi (450D) last year from amazon.fr. How I wished I had waited like Canon are about to launch its brand to a new successor, T1i Canon EOS (500D), which is very soon (early May 2009).

The XSi is a fantastic camera for the price and really builds the bridge between the amateur photographer and professional photographer as well. I thought I could not improve on it to be honest.

But they have. Oh, how nice they are.

The EOS T1i offers so much for its price. Canon has incorporated many features found on the EOS 5D Mk II (which normally costs over $ 2500) and packaged in the body of the T1i. And guess what? The dimensions are exactly the same as the XSi before (except the weight is 5g heavier).

What does the T1i have on the XSi?

The T1i has 15.1 mega pixels (compared with only 12.2).

More advanced DIGIC 4 processor (compared to the DIGIC III XSi).

The ISO range is expandable to 12,800 compared to only 1600.

The video recording mode – can be used as a video camera, shooting up to 12 minutes (or 4GB) of full HD video!

The HDMI connection for viewing and playing high definition.

A unique feature that really interests me greatly is that the T1i has a great feature for beginners – Auto Creative zone. When set to one of these areas, the camera will guide you as to what settings to use via the LCD. Basically, creative auto mode is like having a built in teacher! I'm tempted to trade in my old T1i XSi and buy just for this feature alone!

Many other standard features of the Canon cameras are still there, including Live View, Auto sensor cleaner, dust and so on and storage is SD or SDHC cards.

Abstract:

I'm looking forward to the release of this camera in early May and will have to talk my wife into allowing me to update my existing XSi. This really looks like a crack house.

It seems that Canon has once again leapt ahead and incorporating new technologies to many in a body so small and low prices. I can not think what to do next, despite Wi-Fi printing transfers and would be good. Need a fast connection to the highest quality images RAW will be well in excess of 20 MB.

The XSi seemed to be a bridge between amateur and professional, but the beat seems T1i including a built in teacher! There is nothing worse than being out on the field after reading something, and then forgotten. The T1i will ask what to do with creative automatically.

Perhaps they also incorporate a mobile phone camera too! Who knows, stranger things have happened!

After some time for me to explore the camera I now have a review of the new T1i Canon EOS Digital Rebel (500D). This camera is the last of the Digital Rebel series (which I call the 'value for consumer models). It falls in the range of $ 600 to $ 800, depending on the accessories and lenses.

For me, the T1i was a big jump in megapixels. My first digital camera was the tendency to the original setting 6.3-megapixel Digital Rebel 300D that I used for thousands of images over the past years. It worked great for me and I skipped many an update until the market reached the rank of 15 + Megapixels. So my wonderful wife gave me a great birthday present this new camera.

I ordered it from Amazon, got in several days and began firing away. The first thing was to remember is that the camera kit with EF-S 18-55 target device does not include a flash media (using SDHC cards). Now, what was Canon thinking? If I had not remembered to read the fine print, I had been waiting to pick one up before I could take my first picture. This is like buying a car but does not include tires.

Well, what with the way the camera is excellent. It has a 3 "LCD screen on the back that shows not only the images in the review, but the settings you have. In most of the charges, the T1i offers some nice features, highlighted by 15 -megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor (for Canon's traditional 1.6x focal length multiplier) and the same system user nine-point auto focus selectable as the predecessor XSI. Sensor APS-C size means it is a "cut" of a vision sensor that captures a bit smaller than traditional 35mm cameras and large professional camera from Canon in the range of cost over $ 2500. me drool thinking about the possibilities .

The camera has received rave reviews in terms of image quality and the photographer can say humans are the only weak point in getting a good shot. It has the full range of image sizes small.jpg to RAW. Shot almost entirely in RAW mode (this saves a very large file, but has all the information available for use in Photoshop).

A really great feature is that also shoots video. Although not as strong as in the EOS 5D Mark II, which supports 30 fps to capture its 1080p video from the T1i even greater than that of the Nikon D5000 is limited to 24 fps 720p. The film quality is solid, but I stay with the 30 fps 720p and avoid high-definition mode of 1,920 x1, 080, because only 20 frames per second, and the movement is a bit abrupt. You can manually invoke the AF, while being photographed, which is useful, but remember that it is slow and fragile. The implementation focus creates some jerks, but at least you do not have to stop, focus, and restart, I definitely prefer having the option. Like many low-end implementations, use the mono audio (no microphone input).

I had the opportunity to fire men's tennis tournament in October and has some great shots of the tennis legends Todd Martin, Andre Agassi and Jimmy Arias (among others). The camera was great in less than perfect lighting for night games. I used the Auto ISO setting and lay the camera settings to be fast enough to capture the action with some very artistic blurring of the ball and rackets. Daylight parties allowed me to set the camera at very high shutter speeds and the freezing of yellow tennis balls in flight and mid-career players on the floor with his feet.

To those who believe Auto ISO I got in trouble for several weeks later when I was in the mountains trying to get pictures of fall colors with auto exposure bracketing (AEB). AEB I've used before and works very well and allows opportunity for some great HDR shots after fusion.However, it is logical if you are shooting in Auto-bracketing Auto ISO you have to turn to other than the conflict, all configurations of cars and create an image to delete everything to its most boring. Now I know better.

All in all T1i Canon camera is ideal for advanced amateurs and professionals cost question. I'll stick with it until you can find a way to achieve one of the big boys Canon. I hope many years of shooting and learning about how to capture the beauty of nature in a digital image.

Why should Canon upgrade the 450D now? It’s doing fine at it’s current pricepoint.
