This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T1i Black 15.1 MP Full HD Movie Digital SLR Camera - Body Only
Pros:
Easy to use and very ergonomic. This camera feels very good in your hands and you can operate all of the functions with just your right hand. Decent images up to 800 ISO. Live mode is great when using a manual focus lens, you can zoom in very close and make sure you get precise focus.
Cons:
Soft images. I have a couple of very good lenses and if I put them on a 50D (which has the same 15.1 Megapixel Chip used in the T1i) the picture is much sharper. You can play with the settings to get a bit more sharpening in the image in camera or shoot RAW and then post process yourself. AF is not always as accurate as you'd like.
Overall Review:
Video: The video function is a novelty. If you buy a dedicated camcorder that takes stills, the quality is poor like a Point and shoot. If you get the T1i, you get a video function that is great for situation like portraits photography. If a person is sitting still or not moving to or from the camera, its great. But don't expect to go and shoot for national geographic. Focus is very slow or you need to go manual. Don't buy this camera over another simply because it does video. Save the money and get a dedicated video camera.
