Canon EOS T1i Review
I love photography and bought myself a Canon EOS XSi (450D) last year from amazon.fr. How I wished I had waited as Canon are on the brink of launching their brand new successor to it, the Canon EOS T1i (500D), which is out pretty soon (early May perhaps 2009).
The XSi is really a wonderful camera for the price and seriously builds the bridge between amateur photographer and professional photographer well. I didn’t believe they could enhance on it to be honest.
But they’ve. Oh, how well they’ve.
The EOS T1i delivers so significantly for its price. Canon have incorporated a lot of features discovered inside the EOS 5d Mk II (which normally costs well over $2500) and packed it into the body of the T1i. And guess what? The dimensions are precisely the exact same as the XSi prior to it (save the weight being 5g heavier).
So what does the T1i have over the XSi?
The T1i has 15.1 mega pixels (compared to just 12.2).
Extra advanced DIGIC 4 processor (compared with the DIGIC III on the XSi).
The ISO range is expandable to 12,800 compared with just 1600.
Video shooting mode – you may use it as a video camera, shooting up to 12 minutes (or 4gb) of full HD video!
HDMI connection for viewing and playback on HDTV.
1 seriously distinctive feature that interests me significantly is that the T1i has an excellent feature for beginners – the auto creative zone. When set to 1 of these zones, the camera will guide you as to what settings to use via the LCD. Basically, the auto creative mode is like having a teacher built in! I am tempted to trade in my old XSi and get the T1i just for this feature alone!
Numerous of the other standard features of Canon cameras are still there, like live view, self cleaner sensors, dust delete and so on and storage is on SD or SDHC cards.
Summary:
I am looking forward to the release of this camera in early May possibly and will need to talk my wife into permitting me to upgrade from my existing XSi. This genuinely looks like a cracking camera.
It looks like Canon has once more made a fantastic leap and incorporated so a lot of new technologies into such a modest body and low price. I can’t believe of what they’ll do next, even though wi-fi transfers and printing would be excellent. Want a quick connection as the highest top quality RAW images are going to be well in excess of 20mb.
The XSi looked to have bridged the gap between amateur and professional, but the T1i appears to beat that by such as a built in tutor! There’s nothing worse than being out on the field after reading some thing, and then forgetting it. The T1i will prompt you with what to do with its auto creative mode.
Maybe they’ll also incorporate a mobile phone into the camera also! Who knows, stranger things have happened!
