An Awesome Entry Level DSLR - Canon Rebel T1i Review
Now is a perfect time to either buy a Canon Rebel T1i as your first DSLR or to upgrade from one of the older Rebel models. In fact, wouldn"t a new camera be a nice present for yourself considering the holidays are upon us?This Canon Rebel T1i review will focus on some of the absolutely best features of this amazing camera.
Here is a list of specifications that will be of interest to most camera buyers:
*15.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor - capable of printing HUGE pictures
*3" LCD panel with 920,000 pixel resolution. Works very well even in high light conditions.
*ISO of 100-1600 with a boost to 12800 is needed for really low light (the image quality really suffers at that high of an ISO)
*Lenses are interchangeable - uses all EF and EF-S lenses
*Digic 4 processor (this is how the camera processes the pictures. It is a much better processor than most point and shoot cameras, giving you a mega-advantage in the image quality)
*Kit lens is 18-55mm with IS
*High Speed Shooting at 3.4fps for as many as 170 JPEG images
*Plenty of shooting modes, including Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual which are the mainstays of digital SLR photography.
*Creative Auto Mode - a brand new feature for the T1i, which point and shoot owners will recognize as a feature in your better compact cameras. The camera makes creative decisions for the photographer.
*Video capture at 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 20fps or 1280 x 720 (720p) at 30fps. Because of only 20fps, you might want to use the 720p option when shooting video to get better quality. That size will show up very nicely on your HDTV screen. That is quite a lineup of features. The important thing is that the camera has everything you would want in an entry level DSLR, and then some.
Manufacturers have been competing at the price point of entry level DSLR, and they have gotten the prices down to way under $1000. When you consider that some of the hardware and software on this camera is the same as on Canon"s higher end professional cameras, this is an awesome camera in its category.
There are plenty of professional photographers that buy Canon Rebel T1i cameras as backups because they are always reliable and they produce amazing images.
