Camera 500D - Strong Model with Few Weaknesses

With the purchase of the Camera 500D, I am very satisfied. In the past 2 months I have photographed almost every day and the camera was able to test it very extensively. I would recommend the camera every ambitious amateur photographer with high demands on image quality and a purse, is not sufficient for the more expensive models.

+ Very good image quality (for this price range I am very happy) (The most important reason to me)
(-) 15 MP irritates the kit lenses do not completely off (which makes this kit lens, however, already?).
- Image Stabilizer in the lens makes the lens a little more expensive.
+ If there is good in the hand. All the buttons easily accessible.
- The auto focus is out in difficult lighting situations and problems again.
+ Video mode (HD).
(-) Full HD "only" with 20 frames (The fact that the Camera 500D no video camera, I'll explain in the section Video Quality)
+ Very good and Raw Series Exposure Mode


The picture quality is very tidy, even if the kit lens, the 15 MP of course, not exploits. This at least is at the top is no problem, because not everyone wants to spend even just 800 euros for a good lens. In retrospect, I regret it, but something I did not like the zoom lens with 18-200mm bought, for a lens in the telephoto range () is for zooming very highly recommended. (Otherwise I retrofitting: Canon EF-S 4,0-5,6 / 55-250 IS lens Canon EOS One disadvantage of the model that the image stabilizer is sitting in the lens, which makes them more expensive and offers only little advantage (The image is already stabilized in the viewfinder). The high iso adjustability of the Camera 500D is indeed useful to take a snapshot of the night, but images beyond ISO 400 are generally well-conditioned. make (with the iso 1600 is no pictures for a poster print)

In handling, I think the relatively small and lightweight camera is ideal. Criticisms of the material, I can only barely understand, because the camera does not approve of the look and feel of the camera is not important to me personally.

The menus are somewhat confusing, at least initially, but no one buys dslr if you want to invest any time into it and after a while you find your way around easily. For a quick snapshot of the automatic mode delivers very good results.

For video quality. The video quality is great and looks good for a small video of family and for Youtube to create. (20 frames instead of 30 does not fall heavily on) However, you can adjust the focus during the shoot only manual and all other settings are made automatically.

This is very very annoying because the camera would be readily able to provide the user with such possibilities. (That is not the case, probably is because otherwise the appeal of video mode more expensive models would be lost and would like to earn money on these Canon). So far there are no hacks the firmware to fix this. The sound quality is ok.

I am very very happy with the Camera 500D. Although it has some weakened, but provides with me
