Will You Buy The Newest Canon Rebel Camera?
The newest Canon Rebel Camera was announced to the public on March of 2009. The Canon EOS Rebel T1i has impressive features that are difficult to beat in the entry-level, under $1,000 SLR category. Just imagine the detailed color rich pictures you will be taking with this 15.1-megapixel digital SLR camera.
The Canon EOS Rebel T1i body is essentially the same as the Rebel XSi. They both weigh 1.2 pounds, and you can use the same optional handgrip/battery pack. The T1i also uses a SD or SDHC memory card, so you will not find the same problem that might occur with a compact flash. The compact flash pins sometimes are bent because they are installed sideways and no longer can be used. The large 3 inch LCD screen has continued with the T1i. You will be able to find the same 9 point Autofocus (AF). A feature I appreciate is that most of the buttons are grouped on the right side and have their own feel, so you can use them without looking. As with the XSi, the T1i is compatible with the 60 plus lenses that Canon offers.
Live View Mode
The Live view mode has three different AF modes, Quick, Live and Face detection mode. The face detection mode can focus on faces within 35 feet. Quick mode allows you to use one of the 9 point AF points to focus on and shoot. The live mode also includes a grid or blocks to allow you to line up your image so that it is straight.
HD Movie Mode
Two new modes appear on the dial of the new T1i. The first mode is the HD movie mode. The right-hand side of the body contains a microphone for recording your HD Movie. This mode does not work quite like a camcorder that we are use to using. The camera does not auto focus continuously and needs to AF-Lock button activated. The best comparison I have heard is that it is video snapshots. You will be focusing as you are recording but you can edit your video on the computer.
The Creative Auto Mode
The second is creative auto mode allows photographers to make adjustments such as shutter speed on the LCD screen. Simple wording such as blurred background and exposure level can be controlled by a slide bar. This allows for easier and more confident adjustments for beginning photographers.
As technology progress, the digital camera options are becoming more competitive as well as more consumer friendly. The Rebel T1i was introduced in less than two years from the last Xs and XSi models. The T1i builds on their foundation while keeping up with consumer demands.
