Here's a fast, first effects (from hands on shooting) of the Rebel T1i. Although we'll need more technical examinations to work out supreme likeness value and usability, I'll try to give a sign into the camera's potential.
I'll not proceed in to any genuine minutia on the kit lens, which has been well reviewed. Let's just acquiesce that $100 for a good value IS (image stabalized) lens is a very sensible worth it you don't have another option. There are no conspicuous causes this kit lens should make or shatter your alternative of this camera over a competitor's.
Styling and construct shrewd, the T1i is an XSi made over, which is not a awful thing. Some discovered that camera to be a bit on the little dimensions for their hands, or a bit needing in heaviness, but most like the dimensions and heaviness (include me). It values the identical, verified electric battery and accessories of the XSi. I've currently utilised some generic electric batteries that worked well in an XSi, with alike good outcomes, but I do not desire to chunk all generics in the "good to go" category.
In utilising the camera, the first thing you'll observe over the preceding Rebels in the marvelous LCD screen. Yep, the images gaze much cleaner even at the initial size. Don't get bewildered if you contrast this camera side-by-side and believe it's images are all that much better. They just gaze much better on such a pointed LCD.
First examines at IQ (Image Quality) were very impressive. I endeavoured utilising the camera in a kind of situtations (biased to how I would use it), and got very good outcomes throughout. Focusing was usual for a better Rebel, and images looked good all through the ISO variety, founded on sensible expectations. I considered the Auto White Balance is a very good job contrasted to preceding outcomes I'd had with Canons in general. They weren't flawless, but the tungsten localities appeared to gaze better than average. All in all, I'd state Canon made sensible advancement with the leap to 15 meg, but likely no cause to trade-in your XSi.
Live View not ever has been one of my large-scale thrills, but the pointed LCD makes it a bit more enjoyable. If I was still firing macros, I would like it much more.
But the large-scale benefit of the newer computer display for some will be while firing videos. I only did videos in the 1080p mode, and was influenced by the quality. Sound was OK, and I was a bit let down that Canon doesn't have an choice audio input (ala the 5D mkII or camcorders with intellegent shoe). I'm furthermore not certain how functional the videos will be, contemplating they aren't utilising a "direct to HiDef player" format like AVCHD or AVCHD Lite. Also, 20fps is a bit strange for 1080p, but their programs does support border grapping, which should give pleasant 4x6 publishes (there's a bit more than 2meg per frame). The 720p is noted in a more benchmark 30fps, which should furthermore help with going subjects. You can furthermore fire a full 15meg likeness while notes your videos. You videos are cut off for about a second (you'll glimpse a still likeness for that extent in the video playback), but the high value likeness will be noted in its own document (no need to border grab). BTW, autofocusing did work throughout this notes, but the disturbance was selected up by the mic.
OK, so I admired the camera, but how would I rate it contrasted to the competition. Well, contrasted to the XSi, it's better, but perhaps not worth the money. The LCD is impressive (that solely would get my money), and it's a no brainer if you need video or fire allotments of macros. But with resent cost lets fall and combo agreements from Canon, the XSi should still be powerful founded on value.
I've furthermore had a bit of know-how with the new Nikon D5000 (but even less so). Although primary charge is about $50 higher on the T1i, I considered the Canon was apparently more interesting. I like the way Sony incorporated an articulated LCD, but despise it on the D5000. I was certainly setting the camera down with the LCD back being the first thing to touch. You might not ever shatter it, but you'll certainly rub the cosmetics. The D5000 doesn't have the engine constructed into the body, so there's a bit of a limitation to lens. However, the large-scale drawback was that the D5000's built-in blink doesn't support their wireless blink scheme (with their new lineup, we'll have to move up to the D90). The D5000 actually desires to be bordered up against the XSi, not the T1i.
The 14mp Sony Alpha 350 might be a good worth oriented competitor (when Sony boasts bundles), but the IQ of the Canon's CMOS sensor is likely better in most moderate to reduced lightweight conditions. I believe you'll be glimpsing certain thing shortly to restore this model.
Thus, it's major competitors should be Canon's own XSi, the D5000 (especially if they fall the cost about $100 more), and for those with a bit more cash, the Nikon D90.
The T1i carries on the custom of Canon Rebels with many of "curbside appeal" agreed with solid performance.
