Camera 500D - Great Camera, Replaces My 350D
Let me start by saying, i cohse this over the 50D as this has HD Video Recording, after reading many reviews and youtube videos i decided this would be better sutied for my needs than the 50D.
So did i make the right choice? well no. as the Video recording is NOT what i expected, good fun noe the less,
Fliming Moving people or objects is a no no, Zooming in and out and fast panning is also not good as focusing takes too long.
As far as the camera part goes, it is fantastic, i love the larger Lcd Screen and liveview is good fun to play with however in live view mode, focusing is a problem (auto).
Camera has good built qulity and feels good in the hand
Little disapointed with HD Video recording and liveview, but as a Slr Camera it does its job well so i am giving it 5 STARS.
I was thinking about returning it for the 50D, however i think until the next model is out and upgrade than.
Camera 500D - Great Camera
This is my first DSLR. I've had a variety of Canon Powershots over the years and been very happy with all of them. This camera is exceedingly good. The picture quality far exceeds the compacts I've owned (I've still got my Canon A650 - a great compact, but not in the same league as this). The clarity, especially when zooming in, is very apparent. Compared to my compacts, even the most recent one, there is very little noise or grain in normal light outdoors. It's Very Good at landscapes. It's possibly even better indoors and with portraits - possibly too good, as it picks up all your facial imperfections and skin blemishes! The clarity is THAT good. It takes time to get the best out of it - although it's auto modes are very good, you can squeeze even better out of it if you use the programmable modes. Not tried the HD video yet, so can't comment.
Although I can't compare this to other DSLRs (having previously never owned one), I would certainly recommend this camera to anyone. The build quality is very robust (yes, I've already dropped it, and the dog has knocked it off a chair) and despite all the features it offers, it's surprisingly easy to use. You even get a printed manual, which is unlike some other makes I could mention. If you want to move up from a compact to a DSLR, this is the camera to get (and no, I don't work for Canon).
