 Great DSLR camera very easy to use March 8, 2010
Dustin Mcclure (Live Music Capital)
We bought the camera kit off of eBay with Squaretrade warranty for less then (...) using Bing Cashback so I got an outstanding price right off the bat.
As far as the camera goes; it takes great pictures as far as I can tell. I'm not professional; I just wanted a camera that would get the shots of my 3 year old daughter and this does it pretty well. We put the pictures on my 55in lcd tv and blew them up to 200% and still didn't notice any pixelazation on the focus point. The camera controls are very easy (except for autofocus on the video); the speed of the camera is awesome (highly recommend the Sandisk Extreme 30mb/s SD card); overall very satisfied with the camera. My only complaint is that it does not accept Compact Flash which are cheaper and capabale of higher write speeds.
One other thing that I'm not really happy with is the video; but I bought this as a camera not a HD video camera. I turned off the auto focus because you could here the motors in the video; but I couldn't manually focus quick enough to keep up with the video. Again keep in mind; this is a camera; if you want an HD video camera look at the Sony HCX.
Exeptional quality at an exeptional price. March 8, 2010

My experience with canon's t1i has been simply outstanding, the camera is light, portable and shoots great quality photographs. It doesn't perform as well in low light settings, but with the right lenses and technique it can be improved, battery life is normal, so I suggest purchasing a battery grip for those photographers who do spend lots of time on the field. Overall, I recommend this camera completely, its an incredible camera at an amazing price.
Not a setup for the faint of heart March 6, 2010

This camera may be fine for the work I do (high-quality serious-amateur photography), but it may not be something you want to lug around with you everywhere you go like you would a compact camera. The image quality is superb, but the price I pay for that is something a bit unwieldy for the average person seeking a snapshot and not necessarily magazine-quality spreads. You ought to be aware of this when purchasing this.
From a serious-amateur perspective, the camera's image quality (particularly when working with raw images) is outstanding. The 15.1 MP sensor (coupled with a good lens) can pick up detail to such an extent that you can positively ID a person on a small boat a ways away, or even read the text on the side of the boat.
 If you shoot in raw & use Photoshop, do not buy this camera March 3, 2010

Before buying this camera I read reviews and asked the clerk about the pros and cons of the camera. Nowhere did I encounter that this camera does not work with CS3 Photoshop camera raw. Canon says it is Adobe's problem and there is a plug in for the problem. There is a plug in, but it really does not work. The plug in converts what should be camera raw in this camera to JPG and in bridge you cannot open and work in camera raw. My old camera raw files would not open at all. I am not tec savvy. The Geek Squad could not "fix" the problem so I called and paid Adobe to "fix" the problem. Apparently there is no "fix" and my old camera raw files now open as JPG. Based on this, I would say do not buy this camera if you shoot in camera raw and have CS3 Photoshop.
Canon body using Nikon lenses February 27, 2010

I not going to start a Canon vs Nikon debate, I used Nikon for years and loved it!! Have some older Nikon lenses and wanted to get the D5000. My older lenses would not fit, so had to get the D90. Looked at the prices and did a ton of homework and was really impressed with the features on the t1i, and stellar reviews did not hurt either.I found an adapter, Fotodiox and much to my surprise all my older glass worked on the Canon!! The picture compared to Nikon is a little more on the red side and photos are little brighter, SQF too close to call. Not anything bad, just a little different. Kit lens 18-55 3.5-5.6 is pretty good, but when you figure for 700-725$ and the D-90 was 950-1000$ NO BRAINER! Also just adjust settings to your liking and you'll love this camera. The real kicker was the video, I really didn't want any video, but was pleasantly surprised. The 1080 at 24fps or 25fps was not a choppy as I read about, 720 at 30fps really nice!! very, very clear and looked great. Also want to praise Amazon, No Taxes!!! Was going to buy it at Sam's Club,got 125$ in gift cards for x-mas,same price but when they rang it up the tax was like 80-90$ more. I live in Ca. The 920.000 live view screen, Wow. looks great even in bright sunlight. Comes with good software and processing in DPP if you shoot raw, works great. High J-peg looks fine too. One thing,get a CLASS 6 sdhc card. If you don't then video will probably look bad and card will fill up fast.Overall, Really, Really happy with this camera and with the Nikon glass, Best of both worlds! Still use my older Nikon camera too.
