I was downloading my latest podcasts and one of them was from CNET Product Reviews. The product was the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. I was like, a new DSLR. I’m always interested to see new stuff coming out.
The most interesting thing to me was specs.
Same sensor size as the 50D, 15 MP, and video mode (720p @ 30 frames/sec and 1080p and 20 frames/sec).
Interestingly enough, I tried to do a search on all the major camera sites and nothing. A search in google shows a link to the CNET video, but the video is not working online. I read in one of the forums that it is suppose to be announced tomorrow. I think CNET may have jumped the gun.
It’s an exciting announcement. We’re starting to see video trickle down to the more affordable models of DSLR’s. I know that you can do video in point and shoot cameras but there is nothing like doing video with really expensive glass.
1080p and 20 frames/sec
20 frames … that seems nonsens

i like new canon rebel t1i
modify from canon rebel xsi
Here is some specs and prices for the Canon T1i. Nikon also just released the D5000 which looks to be a direct competitor. One distinguishing feature of the latter is the rotating screen but the T1i does better with video. Also the D5000 lacks the in body motor which limits the lens selection.
EOS T1i is packed with refined features. In addition to its admirable performance with an all-new DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with anti-reflective and scratch resistant coating, 15.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and compatibility with the EOS System of lenses and Speedlites, the Canon T1i adds remarkable Full HD video capture.
The Sony A230 looks like a worthy competitor too.
the Canon 500D would be a direct competitor with the Nikon D90. Currently, i own an EOS450D and i want to upgrade to 500D so that i can take HD videos.
