Canon EOS 500D

May 21, 2009

The high definition video feature is something which all about digital SLR cameras these days and Canon EOS 500D promises to make it even better with it’s 15.1megapixel APS-C sensor and the 3.4fps maximum continuous shooting speed.

Nikon first paved the way for HD video for the SLR Cameras with with the D90. But Canon being the leading brand for SLRs has been catching up fast with it’s first model EOS 5D MkII and now with the EOS 500D.

Although there are quite a few things that we found comment worth such as the 1080p at 20fps which is not an impressive frame rate for HD quality TVs or having no mic outpur is also a big turn off.

Having said that we are not entirely summarising that the Canon EOS 500D is a useless but when you switch the output to 750p then the HD output comes out quite stunning at a more acceptable frame rate of 30fps.

Other highlights of this camera is the sheer light weight and compact design build which is quite admirable, and makes up for the hefty price tag of £700.
