Canon Rebel T1i and Get Your Money

Canon Rebel T1i-If you have had the urge to move up from you current compact digital camera to your very first DSLR, you have probably been looking around at camera websites and forums to see which DSLR you should buy. If you don't already have a hankerin' for a particular brand of camera, get a Canon Rebel T1i. There, your search is over. I have solved your problem. The reasons you should get a Canon Rebel T1i are simple.

First, it beats or matches every other camera in its class when considering image quality.

Second, it has Canon's newest camera technology, including, but not limited to the following:

* 15.1 megapixel resolution sensor
* ISO 100-3200 (extendable to 12800 if needed)
* HD Video capability - the best in its class (however, sound output is only mono)
* 3" LCD screen with 920,000 pixel resolution
* Live View auto Focus - Face Detection is new in this DSLR
* Continuous shooting at 3.4 frames per second (up to 170 frames in JPEG)
* DIGIC 4 image processor
* Shooting Modes - enough modes to cover every possible shooting scenario

You probably know all this if you have been doing your research. But the real reason you need a DSLR, actually there are two, are these.

A. You get better image quality. This is a function of the sensor size. The Canon Rebel T1i has a 22.3 x 14.9 mm CMOS sensor to store those 15.1 megapixels of image information. Compare that to the Canon G10, a high end digital compact, which has almost the same image resolution at 14.7 megapixels. But the G10 has a sensor that is 7.60 x 5.70 mm, So the sensor of the Canon T1i is roughly 7.5 times as large as the best point and shoot camera. The Canon Rebel can store much more pixel information, thus giving it much better image quality.

B. You can change lenses. That's why most people switch to a DSLR, right? You can snap on your nifty little macro lens and get awesome photos of jumping spiders or tiny flowers with amazing detail. Or you can change to your Canon 300mm lens to get those close-ups of your daughter playing soccer 75 yards away. There is so much versatility when you are able to pick the right lens to get the best possible shot.
