The Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D)is the 6th generation of Canon's popular entry-level DSLR camera series and it improves upon earlier Rebels by incorporating many features that up till now could only be found on Canon's pricier mid-level DSLRs. Among the Rebel T1i's key attributes are a 15.1Mp CMOS sensor (similar to the sensor found in the EOS 50D) for detailed, full volume prints, Live View for accurate pre-focusing and editing, continuous burst-rates of up to 3.4 fps, a DIGIC 4 image processor, and a scratch and glare-resistant high-resolution (920,000-dot) 3" Clear View LCD that allows for easy 100% image viewing from angles up to 170° off-center from the screen.

The big news, however, is the Rebel T1i's ability to record a choice of full HD 1080p, 720p, and VGA video capture, which places it among the few DSLRs currently available that can capture true high-resolution video that beats or meets the image quality of far costlier pro camcorders

To help reduce retouching time, the Rebel T1i features an EOS Integrated Cleaning System that combats dust through the use of high-frequency vibrations that shake dust loose from the sensor's front-mounted IR filter every time you power up and power down. There are also anti-static coatings on the low-pass filter to keep it dust-free, and a body cap designed not to 'shed' particles that can possibly find their way into the mirror chamber.

To better enable successful imaging under the most challenging of lighting conditions, the camera's DIGIC 4 Image Processor allows you to set the ISO rating from ISO 100 through 3200 in standard mode, and from 6400 to 12,800 in expanded mode. Once the 9-point wide-area AF system (with cross-type center point) nails the focus you can fire up to 3.4 fps for up to 170 exposures, allowing you the option of capturing longer image sequences.

15.1Mp APS-C Format CMOS Sensor
The Canon EOS Rebel T1i contains a 15.1 megapixel APS-C Format CMOS Sensor capable of producing stunningly detailed poster-sized prints
HD 1080p Video Capture
High-Definition 1080p video capture (1920x1080 @ 20fps) from a quality DSLR is now priced within the reach of beginners and serious amateurs alike. Depending on your needs, the Rebel T1i can also be programmed to capture 720p (1280x720 @ 30fps) and VGA video (640x480 @ 30fps). For high-quality image playback the T1i features an HDMI connection that enables you to watch stills and video on any HDTV
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon's powerful DIGIC 4 Image Processor makes it possible to quickly (and accurately) process large volumes of 14-bit image data for output in the form of high quality, noise-free still and video imagery
RAW and/or JPEG
Still images can be captured as RAW, JPEG, or RAW-plus-JPEG in a choice of 3 compression ratios to best meet your output needs
3" Clear View LCD with Live View
Live, real-time 100% reflex viewing from a large 920,000 dot scratch- and glare-resistant LCD allows you to critically focus the camera lens while composing your images as well as carefully edit the final results
ISO Sensitivity Expandable to 12,800
Starting from a base of 100, the sensor sensitivity of the EOS Rebel T1i can be 'pushed' to ISO 3200 in standard mode, and up to ISO 6400 and 12,800 in expanded (H1, H2) mode enabling picture taking under the most pressing of lighting circumstances
Picture Styles
The Canon EOS Rebel T1i allows you to match the color (or monochrome) quality of your pictures through the use of 6 pre-set scene modes, each of which can be easily modified in terms of tone, color, saturation and contrast to fit your needs and preferences

This is my first SLR and I could not be happier with my purchase. I typically use it to photograph people and animals on our horse farm as well as portraits of my family. I've also shot some indoor concerts in very low light situations (which is why I recommend the EX 430 flash - it is awesome)

The camera is definitely bigger than the point-and-shoot cameras I'm used to, but it is not hard to make the adjustment to carrying it. The image quality more than makes up for the size.

In full auto mode the camera takes incredible pictures and they almost always come out great. You can quickly and easily switch it to another auto mode, such as portrait or sports, depending on the situation and the camera makes the change instantly.

It's also really easy to use in manual modes. I've set the camera up at night and opened the aperture up to get shots of some lightning after a storm had passed. It was really fun and easy and the shots of the lightning came out great - the camera works fine in low light for that type of thing. I've never been able to photograph lightning before!

Video quality is really good as well, and the image stabalization makes shooting video pretty easy. My only complaint is that with the kit lens the autofocus in video mode is quite weak. I would recommend just turning it off in fact and using manual focus. You really don't have to mess with it much during shooting usually, but if you do then you need to make the focus change manually since the AF really doesn't work while you are recording. The AF in video mode is why I gave four stars rather than five. It is nice that the camera has the feature (you have to go up to the GH1 to find another one that can even do AF in video mode at all) but it is a bit dissappointing.

I normally just shoot in JPG mode, but I have messed with RAW a bit and the included Canon software is really powerful. If you shoot in RAW mode the software allows you to tweak almost any setting the camera has available to adjust the picture. It also allows you to make adjustments for chromatic aberrations which are noticeable with the kit lens in certain situations (high light, high contrast).

My next purchase will be a new lens, probably an L series Canon or high end Sigma. I am very happy with this camera and it's quality and features. You would really need to go to the 5D Mark II to get better pictures and features and that is a much more expensive camera.

[...] I took some pictures, played with it for a couple of days and when reviewing files on my computer I found a dead pixel. Returned it to BH, speedy and cooperative people, they sent a new camera. I received it last week. The automatic focus system of the replacement camera does not work. Tested different lenses, setting, switches, programs...it does not autofocus. They are sending me a new RMA. I'm upgrading to the Canon 7D, no more Rebel T1i attempts.On page 128 of the T1i manual it talks about "Camera's internal temperature increase and image degradation" when shooting movies. The camera will get hot, and if it gets too hot, it will stop shooting.Bottom line, this product looks attractive on paper, but in reality it has to go back to the drawing board. Sorry Canon, I'm sticking with you with the 7D, but with the T1i you pushed the envelope too far, not to mention the 20fps speed on HD1080.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) Digital SLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:

I am an amateur photographer and I wanted to upgrade from my current Camera. I did a decent amount of homework studying different cameras in my price range and found the Canon Rebel met all my needs. I was looking at any of the recent models , and felt the best with the T1i. While Ive only had the kit for a few weeks, I think its going to work out great. The lens that came with the kit was the regular 18/55mm but I think its a good idea to add a secondary lens to complete the package. The auto settings work well , but the best part about this camera is the ability to set your own manually for whatever situation you need. High quality focus with crisp colors and sharpness and the camera feels good in the hand.

    Got it to document artwork and artists working at our non-profit and it is SUCH an improvement over the last point-and-shoot camera we had. I am not a professional photographer but we need quality documentation of our artists at work and so far its very intuitive and takes beautiful photographs. We got one of the factory refurbished models and you would never know it wasn't brand new. I haven't figured out how to take video very well and the video comes out shaky.

        I have only used point and shoot camera's before and when I showed interest in buying an SLR, almost all my photography friends recommended the Canon Rebel as a great first camera. I have a little background in camera's, but was nervous due to my lack of knowledge. However, I love the body and it's practical and purposeful placement of options and buttons. I am beyond happy with my purchase and feel like I received a little confidence and clarity with the camera! LOVE IT!!

        Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) Digital SLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:

        I use this product to both make HD videos and for photography. I've been into photography for the past 5-6 years and I started with a small Nikon Coolpix and moved onto a Nikon D3000. It was a great camera but I wanted to move up onto something bigger and better that also took HD video. I've wanted a Canon since I saw their HD video recording ability and the photographs taken by them. The Canon EOS Rebel T1i is more than I could have asked for. It's a wonderful camera with a wonderful HD recording ability as well as it produces amazing photos. I'd recommend this camera to anyone from a beginner who just wants to document their vacations, everyday life, etc. to an expert. Only cons I can think of is that the battery life is a little short but that's probably because I've used it to record videos. Also, it's not too great in dark situations.

            Bought this as a birthday gift for my niece. She is into hightech photography class, but didn't want her to ruin a real expensive equipment... being a learner and all;) But when she showed me the features, it took me back in time to the days of my 35mm Agfa and Kodak reflexes 40 years ago. And the Canon 500D converts to AF and full auto mode like the one-touch cameras, which even her old mother can use. I love the still life pictures my niece has taken in her first month of photo classes, and some highdef videos my Agfa and Kodak reflexes could never dream of. (Maybe I will buy one for myself, this has rekindled my love for photography.) She wants the close up lens for it, for Christmas... Nature photography.

                      I am a dSLR novice. This camera is great because its auto function takes fantastic pictures with no SLR knowledge, its scene functions allow a novice to start understanding factures of manual photography, and its other functions let you slowly move closer and closer to fully manual as you learn. Fantastic camera!

                          I purchased this camera online. I was immediately impressed with how quickly i received the camera. I have been overwhelmingly impressed with the quality of this camera. After reading the included instruction book I have been able to acquire some great shots. Overall I love this camera and have yet to find anything bad to say about it.

                            Haven't even opened the manual yet. First Canon product I bought. It's pretty easy to use and it is a rather small SLR camera which is what I wanted. My wife was intimidated by it but uses it daily taking amazing picutres of our son that just started walking. No more missing those moments with this camera which is ideal. Best product I have bought in the last 10 years that includes 4 digital cameras!

                            Fantastic camera for a beginner or a novice user. I recently took a photography course at Columbia University and was able to put the skills learned to work on my own DSLR.

                            I will say that the plastic case does make is feel a little cheap... put the beautiful pictures make up for that.

                              I bought this camera for my brother and i use it for some days. The camera is easy to use, if You are amateur is perfect, the image quality is good, it has many auto modes wich is useful sometimes, when you don´t have time to set it up.
                              The LCD is big and the video quality is very good.

                                Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) Digital SLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:

                                This is my first digital SLR and I am overall very pleased with it. The battery life is good, the quality of RAW files is excellent (though I wish JPG resolution was higher), and it has all the features (and then some) that I was looking for. Although I have experience with film SLRs, I'd recommend getting help from a friend experienced in using digital SLRs to maximize the potential of this camera, as I did.

                                • Ease of Operation:
