The Canon EOS Rebel T1i is Canon’s first digital SLR camera to feature HD video. The Canon EOS Rebel T1i is a great DSLR to use for a great price. It includes all of the standard DSLR shooting modes and has an easy to use interface. The Rebel T1i delivers way more that what is necessary for a hobbyist and would be best suited for professional work. The T1i is suited to everyone eager to enter DSLR photography.

The EOS Rebel T1i is almost identical to the XSi or XS, and weighs nearly the same at around 1.2-pounds, but T1i adds features with more resolution and high-def video recording. The Rebel T1i is created to offer any photographer, regardless of shooting experience, an easy-to-use camera that is capable of total control or just pointing and shooting.

The Canon Rebel T1i performs very well for this class of digital SLR. It wakes and shoots in a quick 0.2 second. In bright conditions it can focus and shoot in a fast 0.3 second, and even in dim conditions maintains a 0.6 second shot lag. Typical shot-to-shot time runs about 0.4 second, for both raw and JPEG, and throwing the pop-up flash into the mix bumps that to 0.7 second. Continuous shooting speed for this year’s models in this price range are running between 3 and 4 frames per second, with the Canon Rebel T1i coming in at a respectable, though not class-leading, 3.3fps. In practice, both the frame rate and nine-point AF system are certainly fast enough to keep up with children and pets.

The EOS Rebel T1i’s betterment in low-light AF may be a compelling upgrade for current XSi owners; the higher resolution and video capture capability may provide some temptation as well. If you need to purchase an entry-level Canon, the Rebel T1i won’t disappoint, and if you need high resolution, good high ISO performance, or 30fps movie capture in this price range, it’s the model to beat from any manufacturer.

The Canon EOS Rebel T1i is a bit on the light end, yet the construction still feels solid. For the camera’s price point, you’d be hard pressed to find any DSLR out there which gives you all the capabilities and growth range of the Rebel T1i. The camera is intuitive enough for those new to photography to pick and learn easily, yet configurable enough for advanced amateurs.
