Eos Digital Slr Cameras
Why is the Canon EOS Rebel T1i so much cheaper than other digital slr cameras?

There is a newer model Canon T2i so might the prices must have dropped

Eos Digital Slr Cameras

Canon EOS rebel T1i SLR digital camera- should I get it?

I’m thinking of purchasing this camera but just want to make sure that it’s good before I spend 700 dollars on it. So someone who has it, what are your thoughts on it? Pro’s and con’s? Thanks!

Canon T1i Pros:
- great pictures, even on AUTO
- kit lens is great for starting out!
- not as big or heavy as prosumer cameras
- awesome camera for those new to photography
- can be used to practice with auto mode/creative auto mode if you are new to SLRs and are more used to point-and-shoots
- VERY affordable!
- same image sensor as the one in the more expensive prosumer Canon 50D

Canon T1i Cons:
- EF-S lens may rack up in your collection and can only be used by aps- cameras such as the rebel series, 50D, etc.
- the kit lens is rather limited once you get more into photography (average in low light settings, low shutter speed, cheap plasticy feel, etc. )
- can only use fast SDHC cards to record movies
-AF in live view is slow
