Canon Digital Rebel T1i Details

Editors' Comments

Canon's Digital Rebel line has long delivered powerful, high-end features to consumers at reasonable prices, and the all new T1i model (also known as the Canon EOS 500D) is no exception, tossing 1080p HD video into the mix. The T1i brings the superlative 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor found in the pro-level 50D and combines it with the full HD 1080p video mode seen previously on the super-expensive 5D Mk. II (though at 20fps instead of 30fps). The drop in framerate is disappointing, though 720p video can be shot in 30fps.
