Canon EOS 500D - for all aspects of life

Canon EOS 500D camera digital SLR rebel

15.1 CMOS sensor Megapicel
For poster-size prints or crop your images without visible loss of detail - 15.1 MP CMOS sensor Canon believes in low light, and effectively reduces the noise.

Video recording in Full HD
The EOS 500D comes into its own with the combination of exceptional quality images and movies in Full HD 1080p resolution. To record longer movies on the memory card can also record video at 720p or VGA resolution. Images and movies can be played via HDMI ™ high-quality on any HD TV.

High ISO for shooting in low light conditions
Ideal especially in low light conditions: The ISO range to ISO 3200 the EOS 500D is expandable up to ISO 12800, which is useful when you want to use the flash. 3.4 B / s, gusts up to 170 JPEG images
The EOS 500D has been shooting up to 3.4 fps, buffer) has a capacity of up to 170 images in JPEG format (9 RAW images.

7.62 centimeters (3.0 inches) Clear View LCD with Live View mode
7.62 centimeters (3.0 inches) Clear View LCD with 920,000 dot provides a detailed examination of images and movies. A shoot from awkward angles in Live View mode and use in real time on the LCD.

9-point AF system
The high precision AF system with 9-point AF for precise identification of the reasons, even when it is in the center. The central AF point offers a highly sensitive cross-type sensor lenses of high intensity (open 1:2,8) precise focusing.

DIGIC 4
Done in combination with the Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 image processor, a 14-bit image processing for smooth gradations and natural looking colors. DIGIC 4 also advanced noise reduction when shooting at high ISO, which also ensures faster startup times and almost immediate display of images after shooting.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon, the integrated dust reduction by three methods: the reduction of internal dust generation, an in-camera sensor cleaning mechanism and the screen of dust particles for graduation, with the included Digital Photo Professional.

Full compatible with EF lenses and Speedlite EX
The EOS 500D is compatible with all Canons EF and EF-S lenses and EX Speedlites. This allows each photographer and an unicameral system.

I have a Canon EOS 500D two weeks at this time and took about 800 photos and movies. Now is the time to draw conclusions.

So, now, I photographed with a Canon EOS 30D (and will continue to do so!) Is an old EOS 20D. The latter has now been soft 500D (yes, I like to use two cameras, a broad objective angle, the other with a telephoto lens).

The Canon EOS 500D in many respects, a turning point in other respects, at least a small improvement.

The picture quality is generally quite good, as I expect from a Canon EOS. At 100 ISO the noise is virtually undetectable, even ISO 200 is eigenlich equally well. At ISO400, however, we noted a certain degradation of image quality, which, however, makes image editing more Get A Grip. Compare to large ISO800 Canon EOS, at least the same in terms of noise. This also applies to higher ISO settings. The 500D offers up to ISO12800 legendary. ISO6400 is - if not far the picture - a 15MP APS-C chip very well, as he ISO12800 quickly, including the size of the screen very well, with careful noise reduction can be good, but getting compressed.
After all, it is now possible to the extreme sensitivity of those shots in the dark near. It's going to be some lights on the street. It is recommended that if of doubt, nothing overexposure, because it encourages the team is not desirable, because the noise is very old.
Who would most likely to buy the 5D MKII - which of course is much more expensive.

JPEG files directly from the camera are certainly very useful. With Tonwert prioritat and automatic brightness (Autolight Optimizer) is not usually required more Nachberarbeitung. Cameras more, I often had to resort to Füllicht for brighter images - this will save here now. However, it is very quiet, not to have to retract all the images. With the acuity of 4-5, the images are also quite "crunchy".

Of course, you can also use RAW. However, this suggests that each image with 18-27MB of book. Here you must use a memory card large enough. Nachberarbeitung RAW offers more flexibility - but not necessarily you can get more details.

In direct comparison with the 30D, I must say, however, makes the 500D image has not improved, at least not in the area of ISO1600. I only see advantages in increased sensitivity and better JPEG images directly from your camera (here, the 30D is not as good, and RAW has many benefits).
The advantages of 14-bit, enhances the Canon, I could not find even with the 500D. Neither she nor better able to absorb the colors in which they showed the best grades, as is happy.

For the 500D, you must use the lenses good. The 18-55mm IS actually play, as measured by several very well, but I was the little 'disappointed in use on the 500D. Con il 17-40mm L, è Certamente ottenere risultati migliori. The 70-300mm IS USM cut into the 500D very good.

What to consider: the 15MP APS-C chip is not too weak. Opening of 8 is the unpleasant affects of diffraction blur. This may be, at least for some situations (landscape) is important.

Your body is well managed, the 500D. The large screen is clear, bright and fresh. Finally, it offers a reasonable resolution (230,000 pixel 3 "does not necessarily lead to ...).
The plastic seems solid, of course not in magnesium, the 30D, but solid.

At 3.4 fps and 9 RAWS, or about 170 JPEG images in a row, the continuous shooting mode is very useful, but I would cover situations in which the threads are important, but access to my 30D, it offers 5fps.

Now, for the film, as was also one reason they bought the 500D. Given my experience with cameras are quite satisfactory, I had the 500D, as it should.

The quality of the film is very good, I'm using 720p. I have no use for Full HD, especially since it only works with 20 frames per second. One Minute Film eats at least 300MB. The clip is in MOV format. Due to the high rate of data you can reduce them quite easily, without loosing much in quality.

The sound is unfortunately only recorded in mono, presumably for marketing reasons. However he is very good and clear.

The autofocus is slower and generally live on lentils with pinion drive clearly audible. Manual focuses is recommended thanks to the good display, but not a problem.
In general, I have to stay only two things in the movie function:
- From time to time occurring gusts. This phenomenon was discussed on the Internet and that explains that you have not read the whole sensor. Something bad, because I would have liked, but for high-quality sensor performance
- Sometimes, the "gate" effect occurs. That's because the CMOS sensor, which can only be read line by line. Thus, we should add to avoid being too fast moving objects from one side.

Regarding the limit of 29:59 minutes, we need an EU regulation aimed at preventing potential, which take the place of cameras, video camera. While some discomfort, but honestly, how many times you take the video for? My previous high was 20 minutes, and that was an exception. Because of the high memory requirements of the video I see it as what matters is not so bad, accept in times of video editing still easy to put together a feature on your computer. And with the clips to cut what is normal in any case.

At least I do not see it as a problem, especially from a battery in any case, it provides capacity of about 60 minutes of footage.

Why still enjoy all the advantages, such as depth of field easily controllable. While the camera does not offer this to you, but it is possible, but using an adapter to connect a larger goal, which includes the manual. My experiments with the old M42 lenses here were very interesting. DOF is controlled in normal cameras, sensors, small (1 / 6 "or even 1 / 4, 5") appears.

All in all, I am very happy with the 500D. There is really only a couple of things that worry me. This would be, first, small problems with video recording, on the other hand, it seems desirable that the video mode on the dial landed on the back so that I as a user of semi - automatic (open / hour), the wheel has turned almost always have been gaining access to them. The direct integration would have been bettering, as well as the ability to start recording with the shutter button and live view (if you're not careful, then the video begins with a foreword movement ...). Why did I receive with pleasure Fotofuktion in video mode, which is not Sinnfrei however, because we have neither the time nor the aperture control, and another to record a short film, "Blackout" has. Also, some absurd values chosen for the creation and clear Himma f/16 at a shutter speed of 1 / 50 seconds. Unfavorable for moving subjects ...

My conclusion:
The 500D is almost egging "Wollmilchsau, this time with one or other restrictions, including increased actual scale models from Canon, but I must say that this is the first digit is Canon EOS, that really convinced me. The handle 400D me very badly, the 450D could not get them that way. The 500D is a good SLR digital camera and camcorder with the ability to change lenses in one - and that count for me.
Because of the slower progress in terms of image quality and small problems that I have to deduct a star, but a recommendation for the device!

PS
In film can at least solve the problem with the artifacts. After the last used visual style is also used for film, may come at too high on the edge of such devices. We recommend that you use to film a style of photography, where the sharpness is set to 0
