High performance at a reasonable price.
by metrometa on June 22, 2009
Pros: Snappy, responsive, GREAT LCD, focus assist in liveview works very well, video capture is impressive, mods in manual mode are fairly intuitive, wonderful metadata on playback
Cons: Viewfinder is not very useful, no mic input for audio, slightly awkward video implementation, the kit lens is OK, but I'd prefer to have a 18-85mm instead.
Summary: Bought the T1i at Costco b/c the D90 was not available and I knew I could return it if I wasn't happy. I'm very pleased w/ the ...
Summary: Bought the T1i at Costco b/c the D90 was not available and I knew I could return it if I wasn't happy. I'm very pleased w/ the T1i and I think it's the first dSLR that delivers so many pro features at a reasonable price point. The reviewer needs to remember that not everyone owns a Rebel XSi so while feature updates are important, they should not drive the review as they did here. On it's own merits, this is a very impressive camera.

Great Camera!
by skanter on June 4, 2009
Pros: Excellent resolution, speed, LCD, ease of use. Basically a Canon 50D in a smaller package - with HD video!
Cons: Video, while of beautiful quality, has too many restrictions making it's use inflexible. Also, this model needs an articulating LCD.

The CNET reviewer either has little idea what she is talking about, or works for Nikon. Totally uninformed and ill-advised review. This camera is superb, especially for the price.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Amazing, powerful dSLR that's great for everyone
by suitjackets on January 6, 2013
Pros: Super fast
Extremely sharp screen with Live View
Easy interface
Many manual features
Great depth-of-field
Long battery life
Cheap ($250 Craigslist!)
Nice feel in the hand
Great videoCons: Autofocus in Manual mode a bit slow
Can't press the NEXT button at the bottom of a list to get back to top
Grip a bit crampedSummary: I'm new to the dSLR scene, so I guess everything seems amazing to me, but I think this is splendid.

Simply put, good for starter camera. That's it!
by SoldierLover83 on January 5, 2012
Pros: Many Manual Features, HD modes, Shoots Video, Vivid colors.
Cons: Focus is terrible, and even in manual never matches up! I have problems on a lot of my pictures the little screen looks perfect even when zoomed in, but then in editing, some are totally out of focus! Manual & Auto Focus!
Summary: I wouldn't buy it again, save your money & buy something nice. As a budding professional, its good to learn on & that's it.

Pros: HD video is beautiful. Easy to use. Multiple shots very quickly. Color is crisp.
Cons: Video focus is tedious until you get used to method.

Pros: Live view works great. Automatic settings take great shots. Broad ISO range.
Cons: LCD makes function navigation a bit more difficult than other makes.

Summary: I got a great deal from American on this camera. I got the body, the 18-55 mm lens, the 55-250 mm lens, a 4 GB memory card, a mini HDMI cable plus a $50 gift certificate for nfl.com all for $799. I've been playing with it for a few days and it takes incredible shots, even in the automatic modes. The live view and movie modes are serious upgrades over the Olympus EVOLT 510 I had. Great deal on a great kit!

Best entry level camera
by 506sandeep on November 14, 2010
Pros: Outstanding picture quality, beautiful features, user friendly and a strong body that can take falls
Cons: The viewfinder is a mess and has only 9 AF sensors in it when compared to competition nikon d3100 which has 11
Summary: beautiful design, hard to break, pretty good inbuilt flash, what more can a guy ask. Its worth every penny. a sound investment foe anyone who wants to take good pictures.

One of the best DSLR cameras in the market.
by Apuranik on October 24, 2010
Pros: The Canon EOS T1i has been with me for the last 6 months and I have enjoyed every picture I have clicked with it. It is an amazingly user friendly DSLR, awesome for beginners like me.
Cons: The only problem I have is that while using the display for clicking pictures, one needs to manually focus the lens. Auto focus is disabled when clicking photographs with the display on.
Summary: Quite easily the best DSLR I have known. I did an extensive research which included the comparison between the Canon EOS T1i, NIKON D3000, NIKON D5000 and the SONY Alpha ...
Summary: Quite easily the best DSLR I have known. I did an extensive research which included the comparison between the Canon EOS T1i, NIKON D3000, NIKON D5000 and the SONY Alpha series, while buying this one. I found T1i to be a 100% value for money product. I have already recommended the T1i to three of my friends and they will soon be proud owners of the Canon EOS T1i.

Summary: I purchased this camera 2 days ago, since then I have taken quite a few quality shots. This is my hobby since I was 10, I have had been using film up to this point. I was leaning towards the D90 but found that as my first DSLR it was overkill. For the price I paid for the T1I, I have no regrets, and will proably trade up as soon as I become familiar with the medium.
