Canon EOS 500D Rebel T1i
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Now at the top of the Rebel line, the Canon T1i takes on the Nikon D90, with its video mode, while the XS and XSi are left to challenge the Nikon D40 and D60. With the Rebel T1i, Canon is answering the pincer move that Nikon’s put on it in the past few years, now matching them model-to-model at the low end, because the XS and XSi will remain in the lineup.
Canon Rebel T1i Features
While the new HD movie mode is going to be the gee-whiz feature on the Canon Rebel T1i, the important feature for most photographers is the still image quality at 15.1 megapixels. According to our tests on a beta (prototype) Rebel T1i, its only rival even near this price point is the Canon EOS 50D.
Controls and body styling are nearly identical (differences are broken down in the User Report below); the main changes are internal. The Canon T1i’s new sensor is ever slightly larger at 22.3 x 14.9mm compared to the 22.2 x 14.8mm measurement of the XSi’s sensor, but the bigger change is the new sensor’s high ISO capabilities, running from 100 to 3,200, with two expanded settings: 6,400 and 12,800.
Canon’s new DIGIC 4 processor handles the larger 4,752 x 3,168 at a slightly reduced speed of 3.4 frames per second (at 1/500 second or greater — down from the XSi’s 3.5 fps), with a maximum JPEG burst of 170 frames or 9 RAW frames. You can also now capture RAW images in all of the Canon T1i’s modes, whether Basic or Creative Zone.
The Canon T1i’s 3-inch LCD is a 640×480 design with 920,000 dots, making for a noticeably sharper onscreen image, great for focusing and confirming sharpness after capture. The Canon T1i is the first Rebel to have such a high-res screen.
Other features come to the Canon T1i from the 50D, including the Peripheral Illumination Correction and multiple noise reduction settings. Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone Priority were already brought over with the XSi, but Creative Auto is now included, a unique mode that endeavors to bring creative control to the amateur shooter.
Movie mode comes to the Rebel T1i with quite similar capabilities to the Canon 5D Mark II, though it’s highest complete HD resolution is 720p at 30fps. It can capture 1080p videos, but only at 20fps, which isn’t technically fully up to spec. Standard 640×480 movies are also available at 30fps. You can manually focus or autofocus via contrast detect by pressing the Canon T1i’s rear AE/AF-Lock button.
The Canon Rebel T1i accepts EF and EF-S lenses, and uses SD/SDHC cards, including Eye-Fi wireless cards. The battery is the same as the XSi, and it uses the same battery grip.
Also introduced at the same time is the very small Speedlite 270EX, a new flash that is easy to pocket and gives cameras like the Rebel T1i and the PowerShot G10 an accessory flash that won’t threaten to flip these lightweight cameras over. The flash head zooms manually from 28mm to 50mm coverage, and flips up to 90 degrees. Like other EX Speedlites, the 270EX transmits color temperature information to the camera. Power comes from two AA batteries.
Canon EOS Rebel T1i Pricing and Availability
Body-only, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i lists for $800, and the kit with the 18-55mm IS lens carries an estimated retail price of $900; both are expected to ship in May 2009. No price or ship date have been set for the Canon Speedlite 270EX as of this writing.

The Canon EOS 50D looks really like a great camera. Until now I found a lot of good reviews about it. Are there any alternatives for beginners which are a little cheaper?
