Canon EOS 500D (EOS Kiss Digital X3 / EOS Rebel T1i) review

My first dSLR. Regretting not moving to dSLR earlier after using T1i briefly. It's a totally different experiences.

I liked the camera. It's snappy. The kit lens, even though low end and cheap, does a decent job. I shot some very good pictures in a pretty low light outdoor gathering.

It's small, but it fits my hands well. The live view is lovely and bright.

PS: I was thinking to give 4.5s (I am still learning and not sure if I will be 100% happy after knowing more about the camera). But I now give all 5s to balance out the previous irresponsible all 1s.

Problems:

Not yet. Hope not. Spend a lot time reading the manuals.
