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

Its good but not as good as it should be

Problems:

I find the 500d to be very similar to my previous camera the 350d, it easily overexposes in high contrast situations when you just want to point and shoot, im sure with a bit of manual adjustment this can be overcome.
Image quality apart from being a bigger file doesn't appear to be much different either.
Im not sure if it's the Kit lenses or the camera but I have taken several photos with a tripod and remote cable using various TV and AV and found that if I take a section or crop? of the photo the image doesn't look all that sharp.
I will perservere with this camera and im sure I will have alot of fun with it, im just not sure If I will stick with Canon for my next purchace.

Maybe I will have to step up to a EOS5d to get what im after
