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!
