Canon’s new EOS Rebel T1i is packed with features, both refined and new. In addition to its admirable performance with an all-new 15.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with anti-reflective and scratch resistant coating, and compatibility with the EOS System of lenses and Speedlites, the EOS Rebel T1i adds remarkable Full HD video capture at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080.
Canon T1i is not taking as good pictures as Nikkon D5000. just because it doesn’t have quality image and control. D-movie recording is useless on 1080P mode. it is definitely not worth money. it is bulky and heavy too. i am strongly recommend to get Nikon D5000 instead of Canon T1i.

Ever since I started thinking about a DSLR, I have been hearing very controversial opinions about Canon or Nikon outbeating the competitor.
A year ago I bought a Nikon D40x, but then a friend of mine managed to convince me that Canon is better, so when Canon introduced its Rebel T1i, I decided to switch and upgrade.
I have tried to compare the two cameras, and in my opinion the pictures taken with Canon T1i with IS 18-55 lens are not as crisp as the ones taken by my older Nikon D40x with standard (non-VR) 18-55 lens. (Maybe I am not using the right settings on Canon, or maybe with better optics Canon can outperform Nikon, but it’s not the case with standard modes and standard kit lenses.)
In all other aspects it’s a great camera, with great features. Some of the features are missing on my Nikon D40x.
I will play with Canon a little more, but I guess I will get rid of Canon and will stick to Nikon.

Buena cámara de fotos. Para clips de video deja bastante que desear. El enfoque no es dinámico y la memoria de una class 6 no le alcanza. Habrá que probar con las nuevas SDHC class 10.

I recently purchased the T1i at a local camera store and will probably be taking advantage of their 7 day return policy.
In taking a bunch of pictures since I purchased it, I have noticed that they just didn’t pop at me like I was expecting them to when viewing the pictures in their full size, or “actual size.” Especially for a DSLR camera with the credentials the T1i has. The thing that pushed me over the edge was tonight I conducted a little experiment (not scientific or controlled by any means). I took some close up pictures of some coins laying on a counter with the T1i and also my Canon SD880is point and shoot camera. A $900 DSLR against a $250 point and shoot. Shouldn’t be any competition, right? Well I was very surprised. When I viewed the pictures in “actual size” the pictures taken with the T1i were somewhat soft compared to the more crisp pictures taken with the SD880is. Perhaps this is what the one reviewer was speaking of with regards to the kit lens not being of high enough quality to take advantage of the T1i’s capabilities. All I know is I’m not happy that a point and shoot is capable of producing more crisp pictures. Regardless of what lens is on the T1i.
The nice things about the T1i are obviously it’s 920,000 pixel LCD screen. It’s a terrific LCD and is one of the things which sold me on the camera in the store. That and the way it fit in my hand. I was deciding between the Pentax K20D (same price) and the T1i and what made my decision was the way the T1i felt in my hand. It was just more comfortable. The focus is extremely fast and the live view works decent so long as there is enough light for the focus to operate correctly.
Needless to say I’m disappointed. I was really excited about this camera, especially since it’s my first DSLR. I think I will seriously consider the Pentax K20D again now. It has a weather tight sealed body and lens, image stabilization built into the body, almost as many megapixels and was the camera brand of choice by the majority of the employees in the store I purchased my T1i from (all but one employee shot Pentax cameras). My only problem with it was it is a little on the bulky side and I wonder if they won’t be releasing a replacement soon since it has been out for over a year. Other contenders are the Nikon D5000, Olympus E620 and believe it or not the Panasonic G1 which got rave reviews on DPreview for it’s image quality.
So that’s my opinion. By no means am I a professional photographer, only an enthusiast. However the eyes don’t lie, and I can’t stand the soft pictures when viewed full size. If it is indeed the kit lens that is holding the T1i back, perhaps people would be better off purchasing the body only T1i and then taking the money you save and put that towards the purchase of an upgraded lens.

Very helpful keep going
Nice Article,thanks for sharing.
Between me and my husband we’ve had more digital cameras over the months than I can remember, including many different Canons, Sonys, Samsungs and many more models. However, the last few weeks I’ve settled down to one line of digital cameras. Why? Because I was very content to take take notice of how well-designed and thrilling the often overlooked (and widely mocked) Canon EOS Rebel T2 actually is. With it I have been able to take the most great pictures. That’s all I wanted to inform about, hope you have a enjoyable day and make sure to take some stunning photos!
We enjoy this data presented and that has presented myself a few sort of commitment to have success for some reason, so thank you.
