Can't Go Wrong With Canon

Ness, Frankston, VIC

No, it isn't just a re-hash of the 500D, although initially it may not look like much of a change. The screen is now a 3:2 aspect ratio and is a higher resolution than it's predecessor. Other small styling changes also do add up to a more substantial looking model.
That being said, it is the improvements in funtionality and image quality that will impress. The increase to a 18MP sensor puts imaging performance up to almost 7D class. SDXC compatibility allows seemingly endless storage of video and stills. Excellent dynamic range can be acheived due to various sensor technologies which allow high ISO's to be used with minimal noise. HD video mode is hugely improved with the availability of AE lock, exposure compensation, face detection, control of aperture, plus the abilty to auto-focus during recording. Sound quality is also surprisingly good and there is the option of an external stereo pick-up if you want better audio.
Overall, an excellent choice for the amatuer, enthusiast or a great backup camera if you are a pro shooting in APS-C.
