Canon EOS Rebel T1i (with 18-55mm IS lens) review
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.
Slipping neatly into the company's dSLR product line between the XSi and the...

Canon EOS Rebel T1i 500D
Canon's original Digital Rebel 300D lit the fuse that started the sub-$1,000 digital-SLR war. With the "DRebel" now in its fifth iteration, it's hard to believe just how far this camera has come. The original DRebel sported a dust-sensitive 6.3MP ...
The real eyebrow-raising feature of the Rebel T1i, though, is its support for 720p and 1080p video modes. While we once believed that DSLRs would never do video, it's now the top checkbox on newer models. The T1i supports 720p at 30fps, but at 1080p ...

Canon Rebel T1i
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 light weight DLSR,"
I was switching from SLR to DSLR finally and....
quality build, highest iso in it's class, great low light ability without a flash, takes fantastic photos, best display of the class, light weight and easy to travel with
non that I can see
"One third of pictures are out of focus."
I have the Canon 18-50 and the Canon 50-250 z...
Ok... I can take the time to list many good features about this camera. It does have them. But the bottom line is that the bad news in the next section MUST convince you to not make the same mistake I made
1 con.... it does not focus well. At least one third of the pictures are out of focus
"Great photos, poor video. Just buy a cheaper canon"
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
