Don't buy this lemon camera until Canon fixes the "manual" firmware. Before you even consider buying this camera, do yourself a favor and do some Internet searches for the 1500+ people who have signed online petitions asking Canon to finally fix the T1i/500D "manual" firmware. from Amazon.com Don't think I can describe all the goodies better than what everyone else here. Bottom line: If you're a newbie and are looking to get your feet wet with dSLR, get this camera. from Amazon.com The Canon Rebel T1i is a fabulous camera; it's light, compact, and fairly easy to use. It's my first digital SLR, so I cannot really compare it with a lot of other SLRs. from Amazon.com Had the Nikon D5000 for a month and it won't power on. Issues on this. from Amazon.com I am not a pro but I wanted to get a high end DSLR which would help take excellent photos at night. This camera serves that purpose and much more. from Amazon.com The Canon T1i offers everything a pro needs at a price the amateur can afford. When comparing this to its predecessor, the XSi, the differences are subtle, but worth it. from Amazon.com Okay, so this camera is an upgrade for me from my 3 year old rebel. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the rebel but my dad looooved it and wanted it, so offered to buy it from me. from Amazon.com Was in a hurry to receive camera so I selected 2-day shipping. Received on time and have no issues with the camera at all. from Amazon.com And I'm glad I did! I got a sweet deal on Amazon last Xmas; a Canon XSi 18-55 kit plus a 55-250 IS zoom for only $100 more -- that's $150 off! from Amazon.com I am a rank amateur when it comes to cameras. My last camera was a simple digital point and shoot. I wanted to upgrade to a better camera but I don't really care to be an expert photographer. from Amazon.com
