Canon EOS 500D Digital SLR Camera (incl. EF 18-55mm IS Lens Kit)

The Canon EOS 500D (also known as the Digital Rebel T1i) is a new mid-range digital SLR camera that features HD video capture. The 500D can record Full HD 1080p video as well as 720p and VGA quality footage, and is the second Canon DSLR to offer video recording after the professional 5D Mark II model. Successor to the popular EOS 450D / Rebel XSi, the Canon 500D / Rebel T1i offers a number of significant upgrades, including an increase in resolution from 12 to 15 megapixels, improved Live View with three different modes including Face Detection, a 3 inch LCD screen with 920,000-dots, and expanded ISO range of 100-12800.

The latest big gun in Canon's increasingly overcrowded artillery is the EOS 500D. It's best thought of a higher-end entry level SLR, if that makes any sense, sitting as it does between the 450D and the well-regarded 40 and 50Ds. Essentially what we have here is a scaled-back 50D with 15.1 megapixels, new Digic 4 image processor and the ability to record full-HD 1080p video (the only other Canon SLR that offers this is the pro-level 5D Mark II).

• 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor lets you capture every scene in ultra-high levels of detail
• Full HD 1080p movie recording with HDMI output for connection to a HDTV
• High ISO range up to 12800 for outstanding low-light performance
• 3.4 fps continuous shooting allows 170 JPEG images to be shot in a single burst
• Wide-area, 9-point Auto Focus system with super accurate cross-type central AF point
