Camera 500D – Good All Round Dslr With Hd Video
When you read reviews like this, you’re deciding between models and wondering which one to buy. It’s therefore frustrating when so many reviews seem to be wildly contradictory. I guess the reason for this is because many (maybe most), are from people not being very subjective, and many from people who have no wide knowledge of the item type, so their comments have to be taken with “a pinch of salt” !
So I’ll start by blowing my trumpet and say that I’ve been “doing” photography for nearly 50 years. Processing, film, SLRs the whole nine yards.
After dozens of 35mm and Medium format film cameras, I’ve had about a dozen digital, and a couple of “bridge” (fixed lens” SLRSs). This is my first interchangeable lens digital camera, now that they have come down to a reasonable price.
I’ve had the Camera 500D for just over a month now, and I’m very pleased with it. I now have the versatility of my Pentax SLR system back, coupled with the convenience and economy, and now quality of digital rather than film. I can’t review it in comparison to other digital SLRs, because I have no experience of them, but I’m certainly very pleased with it, with no negatives so far.
I bought it with the 28-55 “kit” (so called cheapo) lens, but find that excellent, especially with the image stabilisation as well.
“Old” photographers may not realise that they can easily and cheaply use most of the classic prime lenses (pentax, nikon, olympus etc), by buying a cheap adapter ring, which can also incorporate an electronic chip to retain the “auto focus” beep, which is very useful as DSLRs no longer have split and micro-prism focusing screens. Using say, an old Olympus 50mm f1.8, which can be bought SH as cheaply as around £20, the quality is as good as an “L” series professional Canon lens, albeit having to be focused and apertures set manually.
