Lowest Price 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
Even though I am biased, being overenthusiastic after a few years without a decent camera, I still believe I can fairly say that the t1i does a great job with the pictures.
I would mostly consider myself an above-average amateur. However, I do know what feels right. The t1i takes great photos and makes it feel easy. Controls need some getting used to (I stumbled upon the Live View feature because it's kind of hard to find, and then had to figure out how to Auto Focus using a different button than when using the viewfinder), but other than that, the buttons are very intuitively placed. The auto focus in Live View mode is harder to use, however, as it is placed on the back of the camera and also seems slower to me than the regular autofocus. Adjusting ISO, aperture, and lens time in the Live View window is no problem, and makes using the t1i a blast. I also really wished that Canon would follow Nikon in putting in a swivel screen so that you could get better angles, especially since the t1i relies heavily upon that one Live View screen (something to expect from future cameras).
Although on the soft side, the images were very detailed at 15MP (large) and even tolerable on small size. I don't know if they'd be detailed enough for prints, but I'm sure with stitching, HDR, and all that sharpening hocus pocus in Photoshop, I expect you can get better results. The images do swell for desktop wallpapers on my 15" Mac, but that's not saying a whole lot. They said that the t1i would have issues with noise, but I don't really notice a lot (maybe the noise is degrading the sharpness?).
As for movie mode (which I plan to use just as much as the photo capabilities), it works fairly well. There is rolling shutter issues that happen with most CMOS sensors or whateva (like the d90), but it's only an issue when you're full on whipping the camera (not when turning). My biggest complaint would be the microphone, which is mono, and the lack of a mic jack, which is suckable. The mic picks up every single sound, even when adjusting focus on my Tamron lens manually. I would not use it for moviemaking or documentaries by any means, where sound is important (unless you have some other equipment that I would love to get my hands on). However, this is not so much an issue for me, as I like putting tracks over my video (music videos and such).
All in all, great camera for the price ($808 when I bought it). The t1i works for all my needs and a little bit more. I still have stuff to work out (exposure bracketing), but I don't think I missed out on too many other features.
P.S. I was considering the d5000 and the pentax k-7 as well.
