Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD (Body Only)
I'm new in DSLR world. I bought T1i with kit lens and EF-S 55-250 lens (Amazon.com gave a really good special offer for the lens). I've read lot of reviews/comments about lot of start level DSLR cameras. My final decision was between Canon Rebel XSi and Canon Rebel T1i. I think that both of these cameras will do really great job. I just thought that the upgraded processor (Digic 4), clear LCD (920k), and Video mode worth to spend 150-200$ more as I can get the 55-250 EF-S lens for only 40$ (so I save 200$).
After having the T1i in my hands I went outside to try it out. I didn't even thought that I will ever get such a quality without getting deep into the photography world. It captures really great pictures in auto-mode. I found only two issues with this camera:
1. You don't have auto-focus when recording a video clip
2. Auto-focus works really slow in live-view mode
Overall these are very little issues, and I'm in love with this start-level monster :). I recommend this to anyone who wants to enter to the DSLR world.
