Canon EOS Rebel T1i (with 18-55mm IS lens) review

By (cnet.com)

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.

Canon Rebel T1i

By Seán Captain (wired.com)

In both still and video modes, the Canon's colors are comic-book oversaturated, so it's a good thing the menus are easy to navigate: A deep settings massage will slap them into shape. No such luck with the moiré problem. Close parallel lines danced ...

Creative Auto mode provides intuitive tools for newbies. Though there's no full autofocus for video, you can refocus manually while shooting. Offers some advanced image controls for video

Pronounced orange hue in most photos, especially indoor shots. Reds look weak. Outdoor pics usually come out overexposed. 3-inch LCD doesn't swivel, so you have to hold the camera in front of your nose while filming

"Great photos, poor video. Just buy a cheaper canon"

By (cnet.com)

I bought this camera few weeks ago for a trip... 

Good photos with the 18-55 kit lens, and 50 mm f/1.8. 920,000 dot LCD has 4x more pixels then similar cameras, allows you to tell if you got a good picture or not

Can't set the aperture, iso or shutter speed in video, so you can't effectively set the depth of field: on a sunny day almost everything will appear in focus because the lens will be stopped down

The camera with the optional grip has a good feel to it

Do searches against canon camera for water damage. Their cases leak like the first **** ever made
