Digital Camera Canon EOS 500D Review And Pictures

• Canon EOS 500D is the SLR flagship 2009, the following Canon EOS 500D review will talk you what it can bring us, which have 15.1 million high pixels , DIGIC 4 image processor, 1080P Full HD video capture and 3.0-inch 920,000-pixel VGA screen, a super entry-SLR digital camera.

  Many core components of Canon EOS 500D come from Canon EOS 50D camera, such as high-pixel APS-C frame sensor, DIGIC 4 image processor and high-resolution LCD screen, and added full HD video capture function which only on the high-end full frame camera 5D MarkII to EOS 500D.

  

  In focus and metering systems, Canon EOS 500D basic continued the 9 TTL auxiliary video coincidence, the phase detection AF system of 450D, and 35 area TTL full aperture metering system. 5-mirror optical viewfinder device can cover about 95% view rate, and 0.87x magnification viewfinder also consistent with predecessor 450D.

  Equipped with a 15.1 million sensor high pixel CMOS, The EOS 500D continuous shooting capability is 3.4 frames / sec, and can take 170 best-quality JPEG images as well as 9 RAW format photos one-time. The new camera 128.8 (L), 97.5 (W) and 61.9 (D) mm “measurements”, but the EOS 500D 450D in weight slightly sunk more than 5g, to the 480g.

  

  Canon 500D appearance
  we can see a 3.0 inch of LCD screen in the back of Canon 500D, the screen has 920,000 pixels, could providing VGA-level display, and has a good balance and portability. Canon 500D lasted 450D battery, this model is LP-E5, capacity 1080mAh, voltage is 7.4V. The endurance of Canon 500D is more less than 450D, the endurance of about 250 -300 photos is about 75% of 450D predecessor.

  

  Canon EOS 500D Features:
  1.HD video capture function test.
  The most notable highlight of the Canon 500D is high-definition camera function. EOS 500D you can record 1920 × 1080 pixels (20 frames / sec) and full HD quality videos, for fast moving thing you can use high-definition picture quality 1280 × 720 pixels (30 frames / second) to shoot .

  2.Photo style and menu structure.
  a variety of photo styles is set in the menu of Canon EOS 500D, which include: Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, monochrome, user-defined 1-3. Six kinds of photo style is very practical, but for photography lovers who has some basis, take the photos to a professional post-processing software seems to be more reassuring.

  3.Canon EF-S 18-55/F3.5-5.6 IS lens structure-IS optical image stabilizer technology
  In the resolution test session, we were using the EOS 500D and EF-S 18-55/F3.5-5.6 IS kit lens aperture all files, by shooting the standard resolution board indoor under constant light source to carry out two tests. While taking pictures using the maximum pixel camera, the best image quality, aperture priority mode, ISO100, auto white balance.

  The test results. Canon EOS 500D body with EF-S 18-55/F3.5-5.6 IS kit lens with a good shooting, and consistent with our previous tests, the best aperture of EF- S 18-55/F3.5-5.6 IS is F11. But compared to more high-end Canon L grade lenses, EOS 500D’s kit lens is still weaknesses in imaging.

  

  4.ISO100-ISO12800 sensitivity test
  Within the ISO400, Canon 500D has a very homogeneous image effect, until the time sensitivity up to ISO800, EOS 500D photos emerge on the very slight noise. When the sensitivity up to ISO1600, the camera’s photo appeared slight burr, and in the dark department could find the more apparent particles.

  In the ISO3200, the Canon EOS 500D photos still have availability, while there was no significant decrease on sharpness and the entirety color. Overall, the noise control levels of Canon EOS 500D is satisfactory, and is basically at the same level of high-end EOS 50D.

  

  * Advantages: excellent picture quality, noise control performance better, HD video capability useful,Excellent screen effect.

  Shortcomings: battery endurance capacity decline, the quality of the lens sets normal.

  From Canon EOS 500D Review, we could konw that there is no doubt that Canon EOS 500D is an unusually entry-SLR with strong performance, high-pixel sensor, advanced DIGIC 4 processor, HD video capture capability.
