Canon EOS 500D Quick Review

The entry-level SLR models from Canon are by far the world’s best-selling camera series. With its predecessors “350D, 400D and 450D” Canon put their accents and the scale for each competitor in this price class to succeed. Canon remains its tradition with the “EOS 500D” faithful?

Videos with full HDTV resolution
A video feature on digital SLR cameras for Canon, there was previously only in the “EOS 5D Mark II”, which still costs about 2000 euros. Like its big sister can be the Canon EOS 500D in full HDTV resolution, ie 1920×1080 pixels, video.

The results are astonishingly good: With the videos of “500D” stress you – much better than camcorders – single motif through the play areas of sharpness and blur. The movies are as crisp and exciting as cinema and photography, not the cheap touch of amateur films, provided the camera is in accordance with professionally.

The entire handling of a DSLR camera is just about by turning the zoom ring on the lens. Just pan around for a light to a dark motive part, the camera adjusts the brightness automatically immediately. This has always amateurish. Also, the autofocus is quite slow at the movies and not always accurate.

The enlargement from 12 to 15 megapixels is less remarkable. Only when printed in poster format, or if you have a small field of view greatly enlarged view, the detail may be better at. But only theoretically. Because the lab results show that the photos of the EOS 500D, despite the higher resolution of the host sensor does not show more details than the predecessor model. Possible Cause: The fairly inexpensive lens with the camera Tested, provides simply no better quality.

Operating concept almost unchanged
When operating concept and the functions the camera differs from almost no previous model. What also means that the operation in some respects not very easy. So the testers needed, for example, some time around the bracketing function to find, and even after you have to facial quite a while looking.
