Canon EOS 500D review
Image Quality
With each new model, ask yourself as a user, such as the image quality could be improved. Granted they feel the image quality in every new Canon SLR perfect. The tradition is now continued with the EOS 500D. Gigantic 15.1 effective megapixels (15.5 megapixels total) of a CMOS sensor (22.3 mm x 14.9 mm) provide detailed images. As a layman, it is the extra 3 megapixels compared to the EOS 450D may not see, but already a pro.Especially when he knows the semi-professional EOS 50D. This has long been familiar to a similar sensor. Also, the Digic image processor with the EOS 50D is identical in both places and familiar to the fourth generation. The difference between a professional level camera is speed, because the EOS 500D has two separate data channels, the 50D are four. But this is no reason to deviate from the camera, as the EOS 500D is a clear consumer product and is well below the price of the EOS 50D.Compared to the competition it is at least equivalent, even more, because you can say with confidence that the EOS 500D is currently the ne plus ultra.
The EOS 500D convinced with a resolution of 2687 x 2589 and is so lonely in this price range tip. Even at high Isowerten it differs so much from this resolution. The image noise even at high sensitivity is virtually non-existent.
The user receives still further features to the highest possible image quality to be made available. Thus, the EOS 500D has a noise reduction that can be switched on at high Isowerten. A very effective exposure and vignette correction can even be used subsequently. This works either admitted by the software, the EOS 500D has the firmware that is stored a number of Canon lenses, or using the supplied PC software. It all adds up a convincing image quality can be achieved even by a layman.
Speed
Already mentioned was the speed. This is on par with the competition, thanks to the two data channels. In continuous mode the camera is never overwhelmed, they delivers rapid readiness and is therefore also highly suitable for sports events. The speed of the menus might be a little better here and there, but it is perfectly acceptable. Due to the large amount of data on the internal memory, the menu is not as fast on the jumps. Compared to the EOS 450D but not really worth mentioning.
Equipment
The facilities are combined, as with all Canon cameras and complete with the latest features. The monitor, which is also suitable for live view, measures 3 inches wide on the diagonal.The display resolution of 920 000 pixels delivers razor-sharp images and smooth lines, such as headings in the menu. Like its predecessor, the EOS 500D has a dust removal mode that keeps the lens clean reliable. In addition to the big screen, the EOS 500D viewfinder for a class-usual precise shots. 9 AF sensors overcome the auto focus, which is designed as a cross-Centered.
The settings are as always plentiful. In addition to full automatic modes are selectable. The A-Dep mode is suitable for inexperienced users, since a slider affects the sharpness of the object and the background.
The supplied lithium-ion battery is handy, but it has shorter run times than its predecessor. This is due to the abundance of facilities and the associated increase in energy requirements. The large display, the slider or the balance of power used lens costs.In the fullest use and best picture quality possible with the Canon battery 530 shots. Can make to a maximum of about 1,100 shots.
For further comes with a carrying strap and a battery charger. The instructions are detailed and are in addition to the basic features and tips for the beginner. A memory card is not included here, we recommend the purchase of a fast-acting memory card. Here, the speed of the camera are somewhat optimized. Above all, make the down load pictures of more fun, if a large amount of data can be transferred to the computer. Ideally, one uses an 8 gigabyte memory card.
Special features
The Canon EOS 500D offers the possibility to record video in full HD quality. So far, this was hard to imagine a digital SLR.Nevertheless, a similar Nikon camera in the price range up to € 1000 on offer, more competition, the EOS 500D has no fear. The EOS 500D accepts in full HD quality (1080p, 1980 x 1080) with 20 frames per second. This makes for smoother images, but you get to this point clear at the border. The HD-ready mode (720p, 1280 x 720) records the EOS 500D with 30 frames per second.The video file format is MOV with current H.264 codec.
The selection of the video mode via the Electoral Council. With the EOS 500D can record approximately 4 gigabytes of data in video. This corresponds to a length of approximately 30 minutes video. The picture quality is excellent, but somewhat disappointed with the sound. The Canon camera records in mono, unfortunately there are no connections for external recording devices. When looking at the videos, but Canon has designed with an HDMI interface and built. This system with its simple handling and exhilarating picture quality in a good mood with the user.
Conclusion
The Canon EOS 500D is a very hot iron and a real cracker on the market for digital SLR cameras. Visually it is indistinguishable from its predecessor EOS 450D, however, the intrinsic values ??of unbelievable proportions. 15.1 megapixels provide highly detailed images. Numerous support systems facilitate the inclusion of the optimal image. The video mode is awesome. The picture quality here in the HD mode is hard to beat, thanks to the integrated HDMI access, the camera can be quickly connected to respective television sets.
Worthy is the only improvement was a bit weak battery, the mediocre speed, the sound quality in video mode and the related, but missing, struck input for external recording devices. The Canon EOS 500D delivers all you could want a photographer at an amazingly low price.
