Pros: Resaleability

Cons: Sharpen image quality

Opinion: Purchased to replace Canon eos 350d which I regretted after the first uses. The eos 350d had high sharpness although with only 8 Mpixels and a older reflex body. It was the only REFLEX held little by me because of the slightly kneaded and unsightly images. Maybe due to the 15 Mpixels or defective. Resold after a few months for the purchase of canon eos 100d of which I did not encounter this sharpness problem.

Pros: Insufficient dimensions, ergonomics, generally gives good photos

Cons: The meter sometimes "goes crazy", accessing display commands, video quality

Opinion: I used 7 years as a cameraman, this entry-level machine body. It has a low weight, a good handle; it is also durable and has given me more than satisfactory results. Unfortunately, under certain conditions, the meter is not completely reliable and needs to be slightly exposed; At high ISO is quite noisy but up to 800 the quality remains fairly discreet. Combined with pancake optics, it is very light and easy to carry. The quality of the videos is not excellent, probably because it was the first video reflex. Being an entry level, the commands are reachable from the display and there are not many direct keys.

Pros: Great entry level, very valid for daytime photo, with the right goals can dazzle, price

Cons: noisy even at low ISO, economic construction but at this price ...

Opinion: The sad analogue regression and not exactly brilliant start of the digital I walked away from our passion, when the technology started to churn out cars by the results satisfactory and decided to go back to take the purchase was oriented in what is (in 2011) it was I think the best low-end machine Canon house, among other things purchased with substantial discount and to this day when I'm evaluating a body of quite another category I can only be satisfied with the results and the experience gained with the same. It has obvious flaws and are immediately noticeable, we can not expect an example of speed and accuracy with autofocus but the most obvious flaw emerges with night photos, really too noisy, in some cases a certain grain is known already at ISO 400, but remains a machine that when used with the objectives the settings and the right conditions can give results well above of what we expect in this market segment.

Pros: Light, resolution still adequate to modern needs, Iso good up to 400, up to 800 usable without major problems, above rushes foresight in exposing and noise reduction in post. Lcd still capable of carrying out his duty, AF at the center point very accurately at least in my model.

Cons: A few points of focus, imprecision lateral points species in difficult lighting conditions, tendency to underexpose, high iso used with extreme caution, long exposures reflected much noise even at low ISO.

Opinion: Machine with which I started back in 2010 and that still use with satisfaction. And 'my car traveling I use with optical cheaper, but I have always been allowed to bring home good ricordi.rnCon you've done all the various courses that I followed to date, from the basic course to course of flash in sports photography, the course of studio lighting. I must say that although not a professional model, has always given me a lot of satisfaction knowing the limits of the medium and made me grow as a photographer. Now I have other models that use outputs for a bit 'more serious, but this is the car that stole my heart.

Pros: if purchased just out (2009) excellent value for money

Cons: Today, after six years of technological innovation as obvious reveals clearly his età.rn

Opinion: after years of film cameras, my first digital SLR. Now I stà close, is full of limitations that I know well: af slow, inaccurate metering, automatic white balance adjustment Approximate. high noise at 800 ISO but x is why it is called as the 500d and costs 500d.rnQuesti are limits which in part can get around if like me you use it only in the manual, for photos "on the fly" or using the various programs is another matter, and the results are seen. With Magic Lantern is lost considerable upgradernPer some ways it seems to be back to my old ae1 with which I learned to shoot, but the advantage here is to see and understand immediately risultato.rnIn conclusion in the 500d are all tools useful to fully understand the concepts and operation of digital SLR cameras, making good shots (and video) and prepare, allowing euro, buying eos with fewer zeros after the initial figure, in this case I do not think the sell but will revise for shots all'infrarosso.rnPS: with what it costs used is to be seized!

Pros: Good quality 'constructive and ergonomic, excellent display, good resolution, Full HD video, menu' intuitive.

Cons: One point cross-type AF, noise at high ISO, video settings limited.

Opinion: Despite his age ', can' be deemed an excellent reflex that, especially at that time, made a significant competition even at higher-end cameras, thanks to its excellent construction specifications (some of which are more common with her sisters' emblazoned ). To date, can 'be cheaper to buy, given the good quality' of photos and video offering.

Pros: Dimensions and Weight - Value for money

Cons: For me only the high iso, 1600 and 3200, not so satisfactory, but cmq in line with other ASPC, and the exposure that sometimes no guesses at all.

Opinion: My first camera, at the time had just come out, and I was convinced of her thanks to the size contenutissime, and the sensor shared with the 7d. A great car, if combined with good lenses, you can do any kind photographic image quality with excellent results. I compared APSC outputs later, as the 600d and 60d, honestly I have not seen differences, try that now all the APSC also are excellent entry level machines. He has a problem logically, also involving the strip market is dv, which are the focus, side steps I have never given security and in fact nn never use them, use the center cross, that I was disappointed only a few times (the kind my photographic help me, landscapes street portraits reportage architecture), and the ISO, the sensor fault also reduced, in 1600, the noise will always be present, it bothers me because I do a lot of night photos and high ISO are obliged to use them but peace. In my opinion also the reading skills of the exposure automatically, as well as the white, leave much to be desired, but interventionendo manually risolve.rnIN CONCLUSION I like it and I was disappointed a few times, I am aware of its limits, but I would consigliarvela only if you find it at a good price, otherwise there are many exits after APSC, which have all of the improvements , even if minimal.

Pros: Price, usability

Cons: Noise at high ISO, AF is not really accurate

Opinion: For those who started to approach the "world" of the photos is excellent, easy to sell and the price, even if the optical range is not the best, replacing it with a better certainly emerges more quality, but already 800 ISO noise is useless elevato.rnTrovo video functionality, I prefer to use the camcorder.

Pros: Handy, practical, intuitive, affordable price for all who want to enter the world of DSLR.

Cons: Noise at high iso, images from more than good to good up to ISO 400, 800 discrete, above 800 notevolemente the quality goes down, sometimes inpreciso AF, slow burst of shots.

Opinion: I own this canon in over 2 years, efects is my first DSLR and I must say that after 2 years of use I feel the need to move to a much higher level camera. I seemed to have just bought a camera in hand amazing and I must say it gave me a lot of satisfaction, as though you learn and make the eye more and more experienced, you realize that you wish you could do something that goes beyond the limits that unfortunately the car you require. The problem of high ISO, not a problem just for those who love to night photography that is in fact what they like to do to me, so do not recommend it to anyone who is interested in this type of fotografia.rnComunque is a camera that value for money and for those who have big needs is very good, has the same sensor of the 50D.

Pros: In my opinion excellent file, a central satisfactory and a good autonomy, good body, but the cover of the sd, can be improved, size: perfect for street and travel (hides easily in your bag)

Cons: Gust, AF point side (I believe I have only used 1 or 2 times in 3 years), size (the effort to wield with only 3 fingers over the thumb) ISO

Opinion: Overall a good car, great way to start, maybe a little too small for me, but I have Manoni huge, so I'm not surprised. I must say that after 20,000 shots concentrated mainly in 2012 still does its job perfectly, even when the battery begins to accuse signs of exhaustion. I use it often for photos in halls combined with a 50mm f/1.8 and May of the shots can with ISO set to 3200 and shooting in RAW, you can pull out more than good photos for the web. Surely when I change the body, this I keep it as a second: D

Pros: lightweight, good value for money, easy to use the controls and menus, full hd video, small size, good for travel

Cons: Noise at high ISO, f is not very precise, slow burst

Opinion: Tutt I have now this machine, I feel good, first professional camera, great for travel, easy to carry. great for beginners who make the leap from compact or bridge. excellent quality / price, good construction I highly recommend for those who have a budget and do not expect much, slow burst not suitable for nature photography. strong contender in the video in hd

Pros: excellent value for money, lightweight, and easy to use, perhaps better than 18mpx sensor APS-C

Cons: too much noise at high ISO, inability to fine-tune autofocus, faded colors and soft images using standard settings, AI SERVO mode too slow

Opinion: great camera for travel, "slow" in photos of sports and photographic hunting, good results in the macro with the canon 55-200 and additional lenses, excellent video mode, even if I do not use (that is where the camera), I never understood why "cram" a camera that functions of "photographic" have nothing

Pros: lightweight, good value for money

Cons: slow burst, noise at high ISO

Opinion: small and light it is a great travel companion with its heavy optical lightness makes the grip a little comfortable and well balanced. Great for beginners or for those wishing to travel leggero.Usando quality lenses the results are excellent. It ranks well in its price range, the little flaws that we find them only if we compare it to newer machines or high-end. One of the best amateur cameras.

Pros: Value for price, size, construction.

Cons: Yield high ISO, burst

Opinion: In my opinion, for what it costs is an exceptional car, I use it for over a year and with the right lens gives enormous pleasure if you could go back I would not change for any other entry level, I consider it the ideal machine to start and not betrays even when learned after looking for something more. The size makes it ideal to carry it everywhere and never get tired of shooting! The construction, although not the best, it is pleasant to hold and gives a sense of security. Only flaws considering the price range, ISO sensitivity are, in my opinion barely usable up to 800 maximum 1600 in extreme situations, totally useless and suicidal 6400 and 12800, and burst a bit limited for sports and wildlife.

Pros: Size, weight, price, full hd video

Cons: Af is not the best, sound files used by ISO 800-1600, continuous slow nature and action, lack of manual control parameters filming and external microphone input

Opinion: My first digital SLR camera bought just over two years ago, at the beginning, as is normal, it seemed perfect seems particular defects, now after a year of use "more conscious" it shows some limitations. Not excessive, but I have to say sometimes uncomfortable such as noise that makes it unusable already iso 800-1600, or for people who do wildlife photography or action af the not very fast and sometimes inaccurate and slow burst shooting ( 3.4 fps). I use it mainly for food, still life, portraits and some landscapes and both the burst and the slow af not very precise limits are not great for me ... Most of the time I focus manually in live view and resolve. Very good instead in terms of size and weight, for those who want to take with you on the go without sacrificing convenience, the price tag is a pro, is now very little. For people like me who uses the video full hd appreciate this feature, maybe a little 'less the fact of not being able to manually control the parameters of recovery, and the inability to use an external microphone (no input), as early as possible sister more 550d. A camera that is little more than a normal entry level recommended for people like me who started from almost completely inexperienced. The only thing I suspect is that to come up with something we want Satisfactory optics at least average quality.

Pros: Value for money; sensor; dimensions.

Cons: noise at high ISO settings, slow burst.

Opinion: Camera I use currently. Recommended for beginners, but also to those who have a good experience, given the value for money, without going into the professional world. Intuitive controls and essential. A great entry-level product, if combined with L series lenses gives a hard time with her sisters higher end. When you go up the ISO beyond 400 unfortunately the results are not very good. Excellent video mode.

Pros: convenience, value - price

Cons: AF inaccurate, noise at high ISO, slow burst

Opinion: A great car for people like me who approaches the world of digital with some of the classic request more compact. Machine that allows you to have a good practicality since it is not very cumbersome, but at the same time the handle, with respect to the type 40D, lacks stability ... I find it as good value for money and a little fine-tuning 'the technique to achieve very good results! All in all I think a good spot after a few months even if you want to grow and improve even using high ISO and maybe have a quick trigger more effective!

Pros: Size and weight, software, intuitive controls

Cons: Noise at high ISO, AF, continuous slow

Opinion: I had the car for two years, and gave me a lot of satisfaction especially when I had to learn how to use, very intuitive. The autofocus is very fast and accurate, but it is of good quality. Exposure metering you do not bat an eyelid. As the 50D (which I use now, and with which it shares the sensor) suffers heavily noise in high ISO, and it is not possible to increase the sensitivity in fractions of a stop time. The construction is cheap, but all in all gives solid feel when compared to the size and range of the market economy in which it is located. In conclusion, it is a good machine to learn, but after a while 'you definitely want something more. With the subsequent 550D have made considerable progress in the aspect of image quality, and video mode (which is pretty good already in the 500D) was completed and brought almost to the level of the 7D.

Pros: Size, value for money, rear monitor, sensor

Cons: Construction, not its precise AF

Opinion: Great spot, which I use from time to time, light and intuitive. Produces excellent file, easy to work, has an exceptional value for money and I think that is the right machine for learning. Very positive votes in the video, live view and personalization general. Suffers a bit 'in the construction and precision AF but are "against nature" Having regard to the category where it is located.
