Fast performance; very nice photo quality; HD video capture.
Annoying viewfinder; video capture is its only better-than-basic feature.
A solid, slightly better-than-basic dSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i delivers photo quality and performance that adequately compensates for most of its annoyances.
High resolution and broad sensitivity, HD movie mode and HDMI output, VGA screen with accurate Live View, Remote control and RAW software supplied.
Needs decent optics to exploit resolution, Screen fixed in position, unlike several rivals, 1080p only at 20fps and no external mic input, Some focusing issues with our sample.
