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

I've had this camera since the day it was released and I've never regretted my purchase. I've had a few months to play all of the features and can say I'm impressed with the images as well as the video produced. I'm finding that all of the bad shots coming from this camera are due to user error. I think that the more I learn about photography, the better this camera will perform. I just wish I had more $$ to spend on better glass!

Problems:

The battery level indicator doesn't seem very sensitive. It seems like once the battery indicator drops by 1 bar from full, I only have about 10-15mins left of power. I guess that's why I have 2 extra batteries now.
