I'm a frequent upgrader and loyal Canon fan. The Canon 500D a.k.a. EOS Rebel Camera has features like a 3.0" Clear View LCD with scratch-resistant coating and full HD video capture at up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. It comes with a HBMI port to hook up to hi-def TVs and monitors for watching video.
The whole operation is simple and easy even for a beginner. I got it about 7 months ago. I have been always wanted to take good pictures. I've been getting frustrated with point and shoots. I have never had a camera with the true capabilities of an SLR. Other: good enough for many professional shooting situations and Good pictures with a lot of details captured. The verdict so far? I really like this SLR.
