Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

With the recent death of my 5D MkII, I needed a digital body that fit in my tight budget. Enter the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Not expecting the T1i to live up to my late 5D MkII, I shot a few test photos to test out the T1i's features. I immediately fell in love with it! Easy to use, tons of customizeable features, and picture quality that leaves you breathless! What really sold me was the T1i's performance at high ISO settings. Expandable to ISO 12,500, the T1i handles digital noise in a manner that is superior to the 5D MkII. I didn't want to believe it, so I did a side-by-side test of a ISO 12,500 photo taken with the late 5D MkII and the new T1i. Sure enough - the T1i photo was a much more "useable" photo than what the 5D MkII produced. If pro photographers can get past the Rebel branding, they would see that this little camera can certainly hold its own!

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

I bought this & a 18-270 zoom to take to the Galapagos in January. Terrific one lens combination, although since that time I have found I can get better images with better lenses. After 11 months I have about 3000 clicks on the camera. This camera is very easy to use once you learn the Canon way, and get comfortable with all the bells and whistles. I guess one of the best things I can say about it is that using it is very satisfying and as a result, I have gotten into macro photography, portraits, night photography, and landscapes. There is nothing that you can't do with this puppy and the right lens. These are cheap now, a great value. Spend the money you save (over a 60D, for example) on a really good full frame lens--the camera will then produce stunning photos. I have really no complaints, although I have begun to wonder if maybe some of the features on the 50D (micro-focus adjustment, for example) might be nice to have. When doing night photography, the LCD is so bright that it is distracting (adjustable, though, so this really isn't a complaint). I haven't used the video functions, so can't comment on their usefulness.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

I use a 7D and wanted a less expensive introductory DSLR for my wife. Having looked at new T1i/T2i cameras, I settled on an Adorama used T1i to which I added a new Tamron lens. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product and the used item description accurately described its excellent condition.

T1i offers decent resolution, clear, simple controls, some more advanced features for the aspiring creative photographer and seemingly decent battery life. It's also not as large as the 7D so fits her hands much better. It's also much lighter without feeling cheap.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

This camera makes me seem like an excellent photographer !! I mostly take sports shots of the kids. Added the 55-200mm lens to my package, which is essential for my purposes. Just added a high speed SD card, and found that this camera flies through rapid repetitive shots. Almost forgot... my only complaint is that you must use the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen in most shooting modes.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

Outstanding value. Bought this about a 10 months ago as my first dSLR. I have over 2000 shots on it now, and it has motivated me to take a photography class. I used it in the Galapagos with a superzoom lens and got a lot of photos that I couldn't have with a lesser camera. Pros--The camera has lots of features, is well built, and the more you use it, the better it feels. I shoot frequently at high ISO (800 and higher) and the images are crisp with very little noise. This camera, like all the Rebels, is fairly small, but seems to fit well in my medium sized hand. There is a huge number of lenses available for Canons SLRs, so you can often find a really good lens for reasonable cost. The LCD is large and bright. Cons--the shutter seems a bit noisy and the Live View mode, particularly focusing, is a bit awkward, but I don't use it often (maybe I would if it were more intuitive).

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

The Canon T1i is a great entry-level DSLR camera with a good a mix of features and delivers quite a bit of bang for the buck. The only really annoying things about the camera is that the viewfinder shows only about 95 percent of the actual image area, making composition a little special and the somewhat cheap, plastic feel of the camera body itself.

The camera does have some nice features though, such as the 15.1 megapixel sensor, great lense availability, and variety of accessories and equipment that work well with the camera.

This would be a fantastic second camera for the pros and is an excellent DSLR for the casual photographer and enthusiasts.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

Bought this body with the 17-55 f2.8. Better combo than the kit lens in my opinion. "The lens makes the picture", so why buy a cheap lens? Go a little cheaper on the body since all you're sacrificing is additional features you probably don't need, not quality, and put the money into a better lens. Just my opinion, be it ever so humble. ;-)

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

I have always been a Nikon person until I purchased this T1I. My Nikons are going to be put away. Right out of the box I attached a Sigma 28-300 3.5/6.3 DG Macro F/EOS lens and went to the river to shoot some photos. I tried different ISO settings and shutter speeds to get the feel of how the T1I would react to different shooting modes and lighting. Every shot I took was great. The telephoto lens brought my subject in from accross the river and with the higher shutter speeds I was able to capture great shots of wildlife on the move. I cannot say enough about the quality and features this camera has. Above I stated poor low light, but to clairify If you use the higher ISO settings it makes for good low light shooting. I would definately use a tripod when using the higher ISO'S. The internal flash also helps when in low light conditions. [...]

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel T1i SLR Camera Body, 15.1 Megapixels, U.S.A. Warranty - Black Finish:

I just received this product and took it on a photo trip to New England to photograph landscapes, people and flowers. The camera performed better than expected. The anti shake was great allowing me to shoot hand-held in heavy shade and after sunset at shutter speeds down to 1/8 sec. I shot at all ISO's and the 3200 shots are surprisingly sharp. The HD video was an added bonus and I shot numerous clips of flowing water which will be used for a later project. Based on reviews I expected the sound to be unusable but was pleasantly surprised that the sound was great.

As far as con's the only problem I have encountered is the software. I had problems with the workflow for canon RAW files and the instructions are not clear. I would suggest that Canon include a manual with a sugested workflow for it's software and Photo Shop.

Overall, this camera is fun and easy to use and yields great results. My other camera never came out of the bag.
