This is the first Canon I’ve bought,I used to own Pentax,and toachieve images I like I always used RAW, since owning the T1/500d I’ve not used RAW ,just J-Peg which has really suprised me, the image quality is second to none , lovely fine detail it’s everything an amateur photographer could want, put it on Auto and the whole family can use it, best purchase I’ve made in a very long time, Thank You CANON.

Trev,

you should test the camera before purchase.. at the shop or friends camera.
but for me is good for normal not to pro. yet 7D is better but since you are getting &D why not just go for full frame 5D .. hit for the best if you wanna do business with it.
there are no extra build in the camera time lapse and panoramic may need to do it in the computer.
most people now can easily be a photographer yet DSLR is so cheap.
If you were to be full time camera man.. consider it. 5D…

Okay, so I see alot of people saying this review is less than perfect but whats the opinion of the actual camera?? Everyone keeps saying its a good camera for entry level photographers but no one wants to talk entry level language!
I’m about to purchase a 500D with the 18 – 55mm / 75 – 300mm lens kit and I havent used an SLR since 1990 let alone a DSLR.
Can anyone tell me if this is a good camera to get back into the swing of things with?
Will it give good results for family photo’s, portraits and the like?
Are the settings easy enough to use?
Can it do timelapse or panoramic?
Is it good enough to consider using to start off an amatuer photography business until you can afford to lash out on a big expensive 7D?

To Jenn:

no flash was used in my ISO tests.

In low light photography, you can use a large lens aperture (f stop) or a slow shutter speed or a high (up to a point) ISO setting or a combo of all three.

The main thing is to make sure the camera is steady.

tom: pssst, it’s ‘shutter’, not ‘shuttle’

And I agree, this review is good for nothing.

Hello!

I have the canon 500D.
I have seen your low light photo – looks great!
I am an amateur, and I’m struggling with low light photos. How and what settings do you use in low light? Is the flash on?

Please help!
