First hands on experience...Very positive!

2009-07-17T20:06:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick, first impressions (from hands on shooting) of the Canon Rebel T1i. Although we'll need more scientific examinations to determine ultimate image quality and usability, I'll try to give a hint into the camera's potential.

I'll not go in to any real detail on the kit lens, which has been well reviewed. Let's just agree that $100 for a good quality IS (image stabalized) lens is a very reasonable value it you don't have another option. There are no obvious reasons this kit lens should make or break your choice of this camera over a competitor's.

Styling and build wise, the Canon T1i is an XSi made over, which is not a bad thing. Some found that camera to be a bit on the small size for their hands, or a bit lacking in weight, but most like the size and weight (include me). It uses the same, proven battery and accessories of the XSi. I've already used some generic batteries that worked well in an XSi, with similar good results, but I do not want to lump all generics in the "good to go" category.

In using the camera, the first thing you'll notice over the previous Rebels in the marvelous LCD screen. Yep, the images look much cleaner even at the original size. Don't get confused if you compare this camera side-by-side and think it's images are all that much better. They just look much better on such a sharp LCD.

First looks at IQ (Image Quality) were very impressive. I tried using the camera in a variety of situtations (biased to how I would use it), and got very good results throughout. Focusing was typical for a better Rebel, and images looked good throughout the ISO range, based on reasonable expectations. I thought the Auto White Balance is a very good job compared to previous results I'd had with Canons in general. They weren't perfect, but the tungsten areas seemed to look better than average. All in all, I'd say Canon made reasonable progress with the jump to 15 meg, but probably no reason to trade-in your XSi.

Live View never has been one of my biggest thrills, but the sharp LCD makes it a bit more enjoyable. If I was still shooting macros, I would like it much more.

But the biggest advantage of the newer screen for some will be while shooting videos. I only did videos in the 1080p mode, and was impressed by the quality. Sound was OK, and I was a bit disappointed that Canon doesn't have an option audio input (ala the 5D mkII or camcorders with intellegent shoe). I'm also not sure how practical the videos will be, considering they aren't using a "direct to HiDef player" format like AVCHD or AVCHD Lite. Also, 20fps is a bit odd for 1080p, but their software does support frame grapping, which should give nice 4x6 prints (there's a bit more than 2meg per frame). The 720p is recorded in a more standard 30fps, which should also help with moving subjects. You can also shoot a full 15meg image while recording your videos. You videos are interrupted for about a second (you'll see a still image for that length in the video playback), but the high quality image will be recorded in its own file (no need to frame grab). BTW, autofocusing did work during this recording, but the noise was picked up by the mic.
see more description

OK, so I liked the camera, but how would I rate it compared to the competition. Well, compared to the XSi, it's better, but maybe not worth the money. The LCD is grand (that alone would get my money), and it's a no brainer if you need video or shoot lots of macros. But with resent price drops and combo deals from Canon, the XSi should still be strong based on value.

I've also had a bit of experience with the new Nikon D5000 (but even less so). Although initial pricing is about $50 higher on the Canon T1i, I thought the Canon was clearly more interesting. I like the way Sony incorporated an articulated LCD, but hate it on the D5000. I was constantly setting the camera down with the LCD back being the first thing to touch. You might never break it, but you'll surely scratch the cosmetics. The D5000 doesn't have the motor built into the body, so there's a bit of a limitation to lens. However, the biggest drawback was that the D5000's built-in flash doesn't support their wireless flash system (with their new lineup, we'll have to move up to the D90). The D5000 really needs to be lined up against the XSi, not the Canon T1i.

The 14mp Sony Alpha 350 might be a good value oriented competitor (when Sony offers bundles), but the IQ of the Canon's CMOS sensor is probably better in most moderate to low light conditions. I think you'll be seeing something soon to replace this model.

Thus, it's prime competitors should be Canon's own XSi, the D5000 (especially if they drop the price about $100 more), and for those with a bit more money, the Nikon D90. See Price Canon T1i at amazon

The Canon T1i carries on the tradition of Canon Rebels with a lot of "curbside appeal" matched with solid performance.

A wonderfully full-featured camera at an unbeatable price

2009-07-17T19:12:00.000-07:00

I've had the Canon T1i for about almost week now and after some extensive use, here are my thoughts:

1. 15.1 megapixel sensor. Yes, the high megapixel count is impressive, but keep in mind that, as you approach higher resolutions, you need to ensure the lens on the SLR can resolve that much detail. Sadly, the included 18-55mm IS lens is functional, but the high resolution really shows the so-so quality of the lens. Even if taken at the proper focus, pictures can appear soft with this kit lens. Shots I have taken with Canon EF-S 17-85mm and EF 70-200mm L lenses are crisp. I don't have any gripes on image quality. There are some issues with noise on the higher ISOs that don't seem to show up on the Nikon digitals, but overall, the quality is amazing for the price. Skin tones, textures, colors are reproduced very accurately.

2. The Digic 4 processor appears to process/save the 15 megapixel images in the same time (if not faster) than the Digic III processor on the XSi (even in RAW+Jpg mode). I have also noticed that at higher ISOs, the sensor and the Digic 4 produce images with less overall noise compared with its predecessors.

3. LCD. The 920,000 pixel LCD screen is large (3"), crisp, vibrant and fully visible even in bright sunlight. In comparison, the Canon XSi SLR (which the Canon T1i replaces), also has a 3" LCD, but with 230,000 pixels. The viewing angle is great as well and the LCD can easily be seen nearly 180 degrees around.

4. ISO 12800. Canon and Amazon are correctly identifying that the Canon T1i maxes out at ISO 3200. Some less reputable dealers are listing an ISO 12800, which you should disregard. The ISO 6400 and 12800 settings are expanded ISO settings. The pictures taken on these two settings are ISO 3200 images pushed to ISO 6400 or 12800 by the Digic 4 chip before saving to the memory card. These pictures are extremely grainy and contain a lot of noise to the point of only being usable as for snapshots or adding an artistic effect to certain compositions.

5. Penta-mirror. That Canon is still using one in the Canon T1i is disappointing. The penta-mirror viewfinder image is functional, but still noticeably darker than that of the penta-prism viewfinder in the Nikon D90 (which is the Canon T1i's main competitor). I really would have preferred if Canon had kept the XSi's 12.2 megapixel sensor, forgone 1080p video altogether, and maybe upped the cost of the camera slightly to cover the production cost of using a penta-prism in the Canon T1i. Honestly, unless you are massively cropping your images, or creating large photos, the difference between 12.2 and 15.1 megapixels really is negligible.

6. This is the same body as the XSi, and therefore a bit on the smaller side compared to other digital SLRs. I have small hands, so the Canon T1i is comfortable for me. If you have big hands, I can see this being a very difficult camera to use over an extended period of time. If you haven't handled a Canon XT, XTi or XSi, I would suggest you go to a store and hold the Canon T1i yourself before purchasing it online. (I will upload a picture of the Canon T1i in my hands to the user gallery for a size reference.)

7. HD Video. Yes, the Canon marketing department made a horrible marketing decision and pushed the Canon T1i onto shelves limiting the 1080p recording to 20fps (frames per second). Recognize this as a marketing gimmick that allows them put a 1080p sticker on the camera box. The 1080p @ 20fps is fine most times, but seems a choppy if you have a lot of action in the frame or are panning quickly. The Canon T1i's 720p video is recorded at 30fps and is clean, smooth, and sufficient for all but the most discerning consumers. One major criticism though is that the sound is recorded in mono, AND there is NO input for an external microphone.

A lot of pre-production reviews of the Canon T1i criticize its inability to automatically autofocus while recording. I wouldn't put much weight in this criticism, mostly because neither of the other two SLR cameras with HD recording capabilities (Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90) can automatically autofocus while recording either. What you can do with the Canon T1i is pan/zoom the lens and then press the AE lock (*) button to make the camera autofocus on the new subject (all while recording). A problem with using the AE lock button to have the camera autofocus is that the microphone for the camera is on the front upper left of the body near the lens mount. Therefore, the lens motor noise is picked up just as much as ambient sounds. Even with my quietest Canon USM (ultasonic motor) lenses, this lens motor sound is pretty loud in video playback. Although, remember, you can always manually turn the focusing ring on the lens to get your subject back into focus. It's not easy, but after a little practice, it's not all too hard, either.

Ultimately, you shouldn't let the HD recording limitations sway you one way or the other. This is an SLR camera -- not a video camera. The HD video is a great feature, but if you're looking for something primarily to take video, look elsewhere. There are much better, cheaper VIDEO cameras out there which can record true 1080p.

8. Record button. For some reason, the record video button is next to the LCD screen (the same button used for direct printing). The first few times you take video, you'll intuitively find yourself using the shutter release button used to take pictures. The reason for this switch is that you can take a still picture while recording video, although, doing so will interrupt the recording.

9. Battery life. My first fully charged battery only lasted about 250 shots (no flash), but all charges since have given me in the range of 500-700 shots per charge. I'm guessing the first charge had such a short life because I spent quite a bit of time learning the camera, its menus, and settings.

10. Live View. I honestly can't review this as I haven't used it too much yet -- I prefer using the viewfinder. One feature I can say is nice is that, on the LCD, you can digitally zoom in (up to 10x) on a section of your shot to ensure it is properly focused. This, and the fine focusing, can really help if you're into macro-photography.

11. HDMI cable. The Canon T1i has an HDMI Type C output on the body to allow you to directly display pictures and video on an HDTV. A minor criticism is that the HDMI Type C cable is not included in the box. You have to buy it separately. It would have been nice if it were included, as it's not an expensive cable. see more description

Conclusion. The Canon T1i is a bit on the light end, yet the construction still feels solid. For the camera's price point, you'd be hard pressed to find any digital SLR out there which gives you all the capabilities and growth range of the Canon T1i. The camera is intuitive enough for those new to photography to pick and learn easily, yet configurable enough for advanced amateurs. If video is not a big deal for you, then get the Canon XSi. There is very little the Canon T1i has (other than ISO 3200 and a sharper screen) that the XSi doesn't. Plus, with the release of the Canon T1i, you can probably pick up a used XSi for a great price on eBay. My wife recently gave birth, and I'm not looking to record endless (never to be watched) tapes of video footage of our son, but I do want several minute clips of him as he grows through the years. I've always been more inclined towards photography, so this camera gives me a very versatile digital SLR that I need with the wonderful capability of recording HD video that I want.

A great camera, but not perfect

2009-07-10T22:32:00.000-07:00

Pros
The same ISO capability of the D300.
Intuitive layout that Nikon is famous for
Fast - focus, frames per second, and card access
First DSLR to have video, but . . .

Cons
Video has poor audio quality and no AF
Kit lens is not worth what Nikon says it's worth

Recommendation: Casual users who aren't concerned about how tough the kit lens is should buy now. Semi-pros who want a good lens might want to wait and just get the body (available about a month after the kit release)

Before making the leap to the D90 I researched this and other cameras for several weeks. I actually wanted the more expensive D300 because of the magnesium body and weatherproofing, but ultimately decided that the $600 difference was too big for just that one issue.

The D90 has the same sensor (or greatly similar depending on the source) as the D300 which means it shares the same great ISO capabilities. 1600 looks fine and you can definitely get usable small prints from even 3200. There are some reviewers on other sites claiming that the D90 has better noise reduction than the D300. Combine that with the the new Nikon VR lenses and you can shoot in low light at ridiculously slow shutter speeds. I've always hated using a flash and this camera is going to allow me to avoid using it in situations I never dreamed were possible. I took a shot in a dimly lit room at night and this camera picked up details I couldn't see with my own eyes!

The control layout is superb. The single button choices make complete sense - ISO, image quality, white balance and previous shot are right there on the left side of the LCD.

I did not buy this camera for its video function. However, Nikon did not deliver the goods here. You can buy a several year old Canon P&S S2 or S3 that shoots video (VHS/regular quality, not HD) at 30fps with stereo sound AND autofocus. If they could put that kind of functionality on a $200 camera it should be possible on a $1000 one as well. It just seems that if you're going to add a function like this it should have been done well or not done at all. If you're buying this camera because of its video capability then I would urge you to wait until Nikon or another DSLR maker does it right. Or just buy a separate HD video camera at a fraction of the cost of the D90.

I realize a lot of folks like the kit lens, but it is not the same quality as Nikon's other zooms in this price range. I read that Nikon says this kit lens, the 18-105mm VR, would sell for $400. Thus the "$100 savings by buying the kit." I bought the Nikon 70-300mm VR at the same time for about $485 and the build quality is far better with a metal mount and rubber gasket to keep out the elements. The kit lens has a plastic mount with no rubber gasket and it just feels cheap in comparison. If you're just looking for a basic everyday lens as an average user this might not matter, but if you're an aspiring amateur/semi-pro this is really not acceptable.

Overall this is a great camera and it is, minus the lack of weather proofing (which I can't expect at this price range anyway), exactly what I was looking for. It does have its flaws, however. Thus the 4 star rating instead of 5.

Designed for serious shooting, but fun to use! Lots of customizations

2009-07-10T21:47:00.000-07:00

Several months before the D90 came out, I bought a D60 to hold me over until the D90 was released. Well, I've enjoyed using both cameras, but this one is a huge step up and more suited to an advanced enthusiast, like me. It's a real pleasure to use.

ERGONOMICS - The D90 is solid, tight, and well balanced with the 18-105 VR lens. It's always ready and it shoots very fast. I love all the direct access buttons. They're easy to press, and you don't have to go into the menus as much, allowing you to work very quickly. It's heavier than the D60, but that's OK. It's still very manageable to carry around and it fits my average-sized hand better too. The shutter sounds different than the D60 (if that matters to you). It sounds more like a professional camera; more like a fast "whoosh" than a "click-click". And there are so many internal customizations that you can set it up exactly as you want.

LENS - Biggest surprise was the 18-105 VR lens which I expected would be ho-hum, but turned out to be pretty sharp and clear. Better results than the 18-55 VR. We've really come a long way from the days (30 years ago) when you were cautioned to ALWAYS to buy a prime lens, NEVER the kit lens because of it's poor image quality. With computer-aided design and new technology, that's not true anymore.

IMAGE QUALITY - I shoot RAW to maximize detail and allow room to adjust exposure. Image quality is very good to excellent depending on your RAW converter (best results with View NX and Capture NX; Adobe ACR very good). When shooting JPG, images are sharp and colors are true with not too much saturation using the Standard Picture Mode, which is how I like it. You can always use different Picture Modes or customize any of them to get closer to the result you want.

LIGHT METER - Metering is fine and seems to be quite accurate in most cases. I use matrix metering mostly. As with any camera, you have to get to know the meter. If I had to be VERY critical, I'd say when it's pushed, it's more likely to preserve shadows than highlights, usually when Active DLighting is on. DPreview.com mentioned a slightly "over-enthusiatic" meter in its review, but even the meter is fine-tuneable. I've used the D90 in a wide range of lighting conditions and while exposures vary occasionally, I've never been shocked or disappointed with the output.

LIVE VIEW - is great for the occasional high or low shot. I didn't think I needed it, but when I had the D60, I found myself in many situations where I really could have used it so I'm very glad it's there now. Unlike a point-and-shoot, focus is slower in this mode, but I wouldn't be using Live View if I were in a rush anyway.

MOVIE MODE - this is a nice novelty and may be handy in a rare moment, but I'm generally not a video camera person.

ISO - I really like the new wide range of ISO settings, especially when coupled with the Auto-ISO setting. Mine is customized to keep the camera at ISO 200, but kick in at 1/30. This means anytime lighting decreases enough for the shutter speed to drop below 1/30, the D90 will automatically compensate by raising the ISO high enough (up to a limit you set) to help keep your shutter speed up. Noise at high ISOs isn't an issue. In fact, you have to zoom in pretty close for it to be even slightly noticeable. I use Auto-ISO mostly all the time. Its an amazing feature!

ACTIVE D-LIGHTING - helps camera to preserve shadow and highlight detail. More important to use when shooting JPG because the exposure has to be right at the time of shooting, when the camera creates the JPG. RAW shooters can always adjust exposure in post processing. Even though I shoot RAW, I usually leave it on Auto so I can double check the exposure details on the LCD screen. It's available in various strengths from Low to Extra High. Again, another great customization.

CONS
-At this price, Nikon should include a robust image editing software, or at least a decent discount on Capture NX2, which works great, but costs extra.
-Kit lens is thick in diameter (67mm). Also, the front glass of the lens seems somewhat exposed, as if it's not recessed that much (it's just enough for a lens cap). I worry that it'll get scratched easily. Good thing Nikon included the lens hood.

SUMMARY - Overall I'm extremely happy with the D90! It's designed for serious shooting, but it's still fun to use; noticeably heavier than the D60, but still not a burden. It's more solid and substantial, so it's less prone to camera shake. Nikon packed it with a ton of features and customizations, so now I finally have everything I want in a DSLR, without it being overblown and overpriced. I'm actually surprising myself with some really spectacular shots. More importantly, this camera, with its superb sensor and spot-on feature set, is actually helping me become a better photographer.

AUTOFOCUS TIP: added Nov 2008 - I customized the D90 to autofocus using the AF-L button instead of the shutter release. Now I can focus with one press of my thumb on the AF-L button and shoot with my index finger on the shutter release. This allows me to focus first, let go, then take the shot. Since the subject is already in focus, I can take multiple shots, recompose or go vertical. I'm not forced to continually re-focus for every shot or move the AF point around in the viewfinder. This minimizes AF mishaps on unintentional subjects. And since the VR system remains off until you half-press the shutter (it activates only when you're ready to take the shot, not while you're focusing) you save on battery life as well.

Also, with the D90 set to AF-C mode (continuous autofocus) you can keep a moving subject in focus by holding down the AF-L with your thumb and shooting with your index finger. If the subject becomes still, simply let go of the AF-L button; focusing stops and is locked where you left it. Then shoot when ready. Now your D90 can act as if it's in Single or Continuous AF mode without you having to change settings all the time. This gives you more immediate control over the behavior of the AF system Try it and you won't go back!

8-MONTH UPDATE: Still love this camera which hasn't lost any of its original excitement. Very reliable; never frustrating. Not craving an upgrade; not contemplating a switch to Canon either. Haven't discovered any hidden quirks. In fact, the longer I use it, the more I realize how well engineered it is.

Review Nikon D5000

2009-06-18T22:50:00.000-07:00

เหตุผล 5 ข้อที่ต้องซื้อกล้อง Nikon D5000
กล้อง Nikon D5000 ที่เพิ่งเปิดตัวไปไม่นานมานี้ ที่ได้รับความสนใจจากตลาดช่างกล้องมือ กึ่งสมัครเล่น
ที่ต้องการกล้องที่มีประสิทธิภาพในการถ่ายรูปสูง เหมือน Nikon D90 ที่ออกมาก่อนหน้า และต่อไปนี้ก็เป็น 5 เหตุผลหลัก ที่ทำให้ Nikon D5000 ได้รับความนิยม

ข้อที่ 1 คือ สามารถบันทึกภาพได้ที่ 12.3 megapixel การบันทึกภาพนั้นสามารถเก็บสีและแสงได้อย่างดี มีจุดโฟกัส 11 จุด ทำให้ไม่มีปัญหาหากเราต้องการที่จะ print ภาพที่มีขนาดใหญ่ อีกทั้งยังมี D-lighting ที่ช่วยในการถ่ายภาพเหมือนดั่งมืออาชีพ

ข้อที่ 2 คือ มีหน้าจอ 2.7 นิ้วซึ่งเป็นรุ่นแรกของกล้อง Nikon SLR อีกทั่งยังสามารถหมุนปรับหน้าจอได้เพื่อช่วยในการถ่ายภาพในมุมอัพได้อีกด้วย และยังมีหน้าจอ “live-mode” ที่มีคุณภาพสูงให้คุณได้ใช้อีกด้วย

ข้อที่ 3 คือ สำหรับคนที่ต้องการถ่ายภาพวีดีโอ Nikon D5000 ก็สามารถตอบสนองความต้องการนี้ได้ด้วย HD movie@ 720 p และยังสามารถต่อเข้ากับ ทีวีได้ด้วย HDMI socket โดยสามารถบันทึกภาพวีดีโอโดยใช้คุณภาพสูงสุดได้ 5 นาที แต่ถ้าลดคุณภาพลงมาจะสามารถบันทึกภาพได้ที่ 20 นาที

ข้อที่ 4 คือ มาพร้อมกับ ISO ในช่วง 200-3200 ซึ่งเป็น standard mode และสามารถบูส ได้ถึง 6400 ทำให้คุณสามารถที่จะจับภาพ ได้ในทุกช่วง และ อัตราการเกิด noise น้อยลงทุกครั้งที่ถ่ายด้วยค่อ ISO สูงๆ
ข้อที่ 5 Nikon D5000 มี 19 scene mode ซึ่งสามารถรองรับความต้องการของลูกค้าได้อย่างดี และมีระบบ ปรับภาพอัตโนมัติ white-balance, d-lighting settings และ picture control settings ซึ่งแต่ระ mode ก็ครอบคุมการปรับค่าต่างๆ เพื่อให้ได้รูปตามต้องการแล้ว นอกจากนั้นยังสามารถที่จะดูภาพที่จะถ่ายเพื่อช่วยในการปรับค่าต่างๆ ได้อย่างต้องการและรวดเร็ว

กับความสามารถที่เพียบพร้อมและราคาไม่แพง เมื่อเทียบกับ Nikon D90 และกล้องพวก Nikon D60, D5000 มีคุณสมบัติเพียบพร้อมไม่น้อยหน้าใครเลย และถ้าหากตอนนี้คุณมองหากล้องใหม่สักตัว อย่าลืม D5000 ด้วยนะคับ

Nikon D5000

2009-06-17T23:32:00.001-07:00

DSLR ที่เปิดตัวอย่างตูมตาม และมียอดขายเยอะเมื่อเทียบในรุ่นเดียวกันแล้ว ช่วงนี้คงหนีไม่พ้น D5000 ซึ่งแก้ไขจุดต่างๆ เพื่อตอบสนองความต้องการของลูกค้าไม่ว่าจะเป็นในส่วนของเรื่องน้ำหนักและขนาดของกล้องเมื่อเทียบกับ DSLR ในรุ่นเดียวกัน. อีกทั้งยังมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงต่างๆ อีกภายในตัวกล้องซึ่งทำให้นักเล่นกล้องมีความสนใจเป็นอย่างมาก, D5000 จึงเข้ามาเป็นตัวเลือกหนึ่งในตลาดกล้อง ของคนที่ต้องการจะซื้อกล้อง DSLR.

ในภาวะการแข่งขันของกล้อง DSLR Nikon ได้มีการเปิดตัวกล้อง DSLR รุ่นใหม่คือ D5000. ซึ่งเป็นรุ่นล่าสุดของNikon อีกทั้งราคาไม่แพง, เมื่อเทียบกับรุ่น D40 และ D60 D5000 ไม่มีระบบ autofocus motor, ทำให้มีข้อจำกับในเรื่องของเลนส์ที่ต้องเป็นแบบ autofocused. D5000 สร้างขึ้นมาในตอนที่นิยมใช้ lenses ที่มี focus อยู่ในส่วนของตัวกล้อง Nikons ด้วยอยู่แล้ว. อย่างไรก็ตาม ที่ปรากฏอยู่บนกล้อง Nikon ซึ่งได้ตัดสันใจว่าจะเอามาแทนที่รุ่นที่ขายไม่ดี ดังนั้นตอนนี้เราก็เหมือนกับว่าจะมีกล้องที่เหนือกว่า D60 แต่ก็ยังไม่ถึงระดับ D90. D5000 ไม่มี autofocus มี motor อยู่ภายในส่วนของ body แต่สามารถเอียงจอ LCD ได้.

แนวความคิดของกล้องพวก DSLR คือต้องการสิ่งที่ดีที่สุด, แต่สำหรับผู้ที่ชอบกล้องระดับ D90 (มีปุ่มควบคุมการทำงาน 2 ปุ่มและมีแบตเตอร์รี่ที่มีขนาดใหญ่ เมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับ Canon EOS 500D และ Olympus E-620 ในตลาดแล้วนั้น ส่วนแบ่งในตลาดของ D5000 นับว่าน่าพอใจเลยทีเดียว.

วิเคราะห์ 500D

2009-06-16T22:43:00.000-07:00

500D
มีรูปร่างเหมือนกับ 450D ซึ่งส่วนมากทำมาจากพลาสติก, ซึ่งให้ความรู้สึกที่แตกต่างจากกล้อง 'EOS' name badge and eight tiny holes ใช้ความรู้สึกที่แตกต่าง. มีรูสำหรับบันทึกภาพและมี microphone อยู่ทางด้านหน้าของกล้อง และมี speaker อยู่ทางด้านหลัง. การทำงานของปุ่มต่างๆ มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงเล็กน้อย ตือ 500D จะไม่มีปุ่ม mode button (ถึงแม้ว่าจะช่วยให้เข้าถึง 'Picture Styles' ได้ดดยตรงเพราะว่าใช้ประโยชน์ได้น้อย), ซึ่งขณะนี้เป็นปุ่มไวท์บาลานซ์. ปุ่มสำหรับปริ้น, ปุ่มจัดการกับไวท์บาลานซ์เหมือนกับ 450D โดยรามแล้วก็คือ 450D ที่สามารถที่จะถ่ายวิดีโอและดู live view ได้นั่นเอง.

Construction
500D มีรูปร่างและโครงสร้างเหมือนกับ 450D และยังมีส่วนอื่นๆ นอกจากจะมีรูปร่างภายนอกที่เหมือนกันแล้วยังมีการเพิ่มรายละเอียดต่างๆ เข้าไปอีกด้วย ไม่ว่าจะเป็น microphone และ speaker holes, HDMI port และติดยี่ห้อ 'EOS' เข้าไปที่มุมด้วย โดยหลักๆ แล้วในส่วนของ Body นั้นทำมาจากวัสดุสำคัญๆ 3 อย่างคือ stainless steel chassis (blue in this diagram), the mirror box which is made of high-strength 'engineering plastic' (red in the diagram) and 'engineering plastic' ทำให้ส่วนของ body มีน้ำหนักเบาเป็นพิเศษ และยังมีความแข็งแรงพอที่จะปกป้องอุปกรณ์ electromagnetic ภายในได้อีกด้วย. Body ที่ทำนี้มีความปราณีตเป็นพิเศษเมื่อเทียบกับราคาแล้ว อีกทั้งยังกระชับกับอุปกรณ์ภายใน (เขย่าแล้วไม่มีเสียง).

In your hand / grip
เปลี่ยนไปจาก 450D เล็กน้อย, ขนาดยังเหมาะมือเหมือนเดิม. โดยรวมแล้วดีกว่า สามรุ่นแรกของ Rebel แต่มันยังคงห่างไกลจากก้องระดับสูง, มือของคุณไม่จำเป็นที่จะต้องมีขนาดใหญ่มาก ก็สามารถใช้ได้ เพียงแต่อยากจะแนะนำว่าให้ทดลองว่าชอบไหม เหมาะมือไหมก่อนตัดสินใจซื้อ. ไม่ได้หมายความว่ามันไม่ดีนะ, แต่กล้องที่ใช้ควรที่จะมีขนาดเหมาะมือผู้ใช้มากกว่า
