LOVE IT! March 12, 2010 T. K. Mccullouth (Accomac, VA) I had my camera for a month now, and I love it! I am still learning everything! If you are new, don't get overwhelmed. It's great! IF you are a professonial or advanced, you properly have something more exspensive, but I love it!
Great DSLR camera very easy to use March 8, 2010 Dustin Mcclure (Live Music Capital) We bought the camera kit off of eBay with Squaretrade warranty for less then (...) using Bing Cashback so I got an outstanding price right off the bat.
As far as the camera goes; it takes great pictures as far as I can tell. I'm not professional; I just wanted a camera that would get the shots of my 3 year old daughter and this does it pretty well. We put the pictures on my 55in lcd tv and blew them up to 200% and still didn't notice any pixelazation on the focus point. The camera controls are very easy (except for autofocus on the video); the speed of the camera is awesome (highly recommend the Sandisk Extreme 30mb/s SD card); overall very satisfied with the camera. My only complaint is that it does not accept Compact Flash which are cheaper and capabale of higher write speeds.
One other thing that I'm not really happy with is the video; but I bought this as a camera not a HD video camera. I turned off the auto focus because you could here the motors in the video; but I couldn't manually focus quick enough to keep up with the video. Again keep in mind; this is a camera; if you want an HD video camera look at the Sony HCX.
Exeptional quality at an exeptional price. March 8, 2010 Luis Vegas My experience with canon's t1i has been simply outstanding, the camera is light, portable and shoots great quality photographs. It doesn't perform as well in low light settings, but with the right lenses and technique it can be improved, battery life is normal, so I suggest purchasing a battery grip for those photographers who do spend lots of time on the field. Overall, I recommend this camera completely, its an incredible camera at an amazing price.
Not a setup for the faint of heart March 6, 2010 Sung Jun Liff (California, USA) This camera may be fine for the work I do (high-quality serious-amateur photography), but it may not be something you want to lug around with you everywhere you go like you would a compact camera. The image quality is superb, but the price I pay for that is something a bit unwieldy for the average person seeking a snapshot and not necessarily magazine-quality spreads. You ought to be aware of this when purchasing this.
From a serious-amateur perspective, the camera's image quality (particularly when working with raw images) is outstanding. The 15.1 MP sensor (coupled with a good lens) can pick up detail to such an extent that you can positively ID a person on a small boat a ways away, or even read the text on the side of the boat.
If you shoot in raw & use Photoshop, do not buy this camera March 3, 2010 Moonlight 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Before buying this camera I read reviews and asked the clerk about the pros and cons of the camera. Nowhere did I encounter that this camera does not work with CS3 Photoshop camera raw. Canon says it is Adobe's problem and there is a plug in for the problem. There is a plug in, but it really does not work. The plug in converts what should be camera raw in this camera to JPG and in bridge you cannot open and work in camera raw. My old camera raw files would not open at all. I am not tec savvy. The Geek Squad could not "fix" the problem so I called and paid Adobe to "fix" the problem. Apparently there is no "fix" and my old camera raw files now open as JPG. Based on this, I would say do not buy this camera if you shoot in camera raw and have CS3 Photoshop.
