An Awesome Entry Level DSLR – Canon Rebel T1i Review
asked:
Are you ready to move up where the “big boys” play. You know, the digital SLR camera crowd.
Now is a perfect time to either buy a Canon Rebel T1i as your first DSLR or to upgrade from one of the older Rebel models. In fact, wouldn’t a new camera be a nice present for yourself considering the holidays are upon us?
This Canon Rebel T1i review will focus on some of the absolutely best features of this amazing camera.
Here is a list of specifications that will be of interest to most camera buyers:
15.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor – capable of printing HUGE pictures 3″ LCD panel with 920,000 pixel resolution. Works very well even in high light conditions. ISO of 100-1600 with a boost to 12800 is needed for really low light (the image quality really suffers at that high of an ISO) Lenses are interchangeable – uses all EF and EF-S lenses Digic 4 processor (this is how the camera processes the pictures. It is a much better processor than most point and shoot cameras, giving you a mega-advantage in the image quality) Kit lens is 18-55mm with IS High Speed Shooting at 3.4fps for as many as 170 JPEG images Plenty of shooting modes, including Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual which are the mainstays of digital SLR photography. Creative Auto Mode – a brand new feature for the T1i, which point and shoot owners will recognize as a feature in your better compact cameras. The camera makes creative decisions for the photographer. Video capture at 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 20fps or 1280 x 720 (720p) at 30fps. Because of only 20fps, you might want to use the 720p option when shooting video to get better quality. That size will show up very nicely on your HDTV screen.

Digital SLR for the Masses? – You Bet!
asked:
Do you feel the pressing need to finally take the plunge and get that new digital camera? Perhaps you have been toying with the idea for quite awhile because of all the great photos you have been seeing on your friends’ Flickr or Facebook pages. They are even uploading video, and you feel the need, no, the passion to do the same.
Good news! Digital cameras have come a long way in the past couple of years. You now have plenty of choices. But, wait, that’s the exact problem. Which camera do you choose? Is a simple point and shoot camera the best choice, or do I need one of the more advanced compact cameras, or maybe even a digital SLR?
Let’s assume you feel the desire to get something more than the cheapest camera you can pick up at your local Best Buy.
Things to consider about your digital camera purchase:
1. What will you be taking pictures of?
Will you be taking snapshots of random photo opportunities, or are you planning a vacation to the vacation spot of your dreams? Random photo snapshots would require you to have the camera with you in a pocket or purse. That way, when the special moment occurs, you are ready with your trusty little camera. Solution – a good compact digital camera with in-camera processing modes so that you can just push the shutter button and get the perfect shot.
Traveling to a special vacation spot is different. You will want a camera that has super image quality and excellent zoom range. You may end up framing some of the photos. In this case, an advanced compact or even a digital SLR with a super-zoom lens will fit the bill.
Of course there are other situations, such as wildlife and sports events that may be the focus of your picture taking sessions. Again, these don’t require a more advanced camera, but you will certainly be less frustrated if that is what you choose.
2. Where will you use these photos?
This is pretty simple. If all you want to do is put the photos on your computer and upload them to your favorite site, like Facebook, then a simple camera will suffice. However, if you plan to do any photo editing and print those pictures, the advanced cameras are your best choice.
3. How much do you want the camera to do vs your involvement in the process?
Some digital compacts have a choice between allowing the camera to make all the adjustments and allowing the photographer to make adjustments. If you want to become more of a “photographer” where you actually know how to use the controls for things like aperture, shutter speed and ISO, you will need a more advanced camera.
Search for “digital slr cameras” using your Internet resources before going to a retail store. That way you will know what to look for when you get there.
The surprise is that many of them cost less than $600, and, as you know, there are some point and shoot cameras that cost that much. So why not take a step of faith and “go for the ring?”
