Spectacular DSLR
5 of 6 found this helpful I wanted the T1i because of it's video. I bought the Rebel XSi a few months ago and it was excellent. When I switched to the Rebel T1i it was an even better camera than the XSi. Although the XSi was excellent, the T1i was even better. I could have been happy with the quality of the XSi, but after buying the T1i for the video I havn't even used the Video yet but I'm recording awesome sunsets and Eagle pics. Now I have to sell the XSi and wish I would have just purchased the T1i first. Speed and versatility of this camera are amazing. The EF-S 18-55 and 75-300 take amazingly clear pics. I used the XSi for magazine photos and this T1i is a big step up from there.
This camera comes with a steep learning curve. Although the mode dial causes terrific pics I now have the desire to learn all the functions of the camera. The blue and green enhancements to Landscape mode are obvious after comparing portrait (enhances pinks and reds) modes. Beautiful pics made easy.
Landscape mode tales the best sunset pics.
Point and shoot are junk compared to these DSLRs. I do car photography and captured some unbelieveable shots with these cameras. I expect that once I learn how to use the camera properly all of my shots will be great.
I think they call this a Pro rated DSLR because the camera makes you look like a Pro.
Comfortable in my hand and the kit lenses work great. Hoping to purchase a full range zoom plus a 50mm prime and sell my 2 kit lenses.
I take action snowmobile video and stills and hope to get a much higher level of video and many more front page newspaper shots with this camera.
Camera is tough as I've already been bouncing it while carryinig it around the yard, with no damage.
These cameras take amazing low light shots. I've taken hand held car pics after dusk that were good pics. Unexpected, but clear as day.
I've taken flying Bald headed Eagle pics. Another day I took some floatplane shots and loaded the SD chip into my laptop, zoomed and read the name on the plane.
The LCD was excellent on the XSi, but the T1i was massively better viewing. Being able to zoom the LCD to show a tiny portion of the shot is excellent.
I bought a Battery handle so that I can shoot long large videos.

Size, rechargeable Li-ion battery, HD quality, SD cards, kind of easy to use.
Dislikes
"200mph" suction cup lost it's grip and MY new HD camera was lost in snow first time out.
Tiny screen has no display and I need glasses to read the tiny numbers and letters on the 1/2" screen to figure out what the camera is doing.
NO playback screen
