Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Immediately


Had this camera for abt 2 months and took more than 1000 pictures in various setting and conditions. Would give 5 stars to the camera and 2 stars to the kit lens. The kit lens is producing soft images almost half the time, softer than my old G2! Highly recommend to save the money on kit lens and buy a better lens. The reviews abt soft images from the kit lens are 100% accurate. Camera's low light performance is amazing. Hardly any noise at 1600ISO. You can get away without using the flash in normal indoor lighting most of the time. Menu selection system is also very easy to use and very intuitive. Unavailable items in a given mode are grayed out. High res LCD screen makes reviewing the pictures a breeze even in outdoor light.

HD video is ok in 720p mode but practically useless in 1080 mode. Even in 720p mode there is fair amount of lens jello effect when panning to get the scenery. Auto focus is also practically useless as the lens motor noise is quite pronounced in the videos. I am getting used to focusing manually while taking videos. It is not that difficult once you understand the mechanics of the lens. Overall the video option is good as long as there is not too much panning or zooming. Low light performance for video is as bad as any camcorder. Wish the microphone was wind protected and directional. It picks up slightest of wind noise.

Stay with XSi if you don't care about video or very picky abt video quality. You are better off with a separate camcorder.Get more detail about Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.
