Canon Digital Camera Review

There are many different sorts of Canon digital cameras available on the market. Canon has been manufacturing cameras for several years and its digital cameras are some of the best for the price. The current digital cameras that Canon offers include the Canon EOS series and the Canon Powershot series. The Canon 5D Mark II digital camera is the 1st EOS digital SLR camera to have both video capture and still capture. This Canon 5D camera includes all of the latest upgrades as previous models were lacking in some particular critical areas compared to rival’s products.

The camera now has a 21.2 megapixel sensor which is particularly fascinating for those that like to shot professional quality. The resolution is the most recent at A900. This camera can be considered a premium digital camera.The Canon Powershot is an example of the most well liked Canon digital camera available for your average picture taker. One of the latest Powershot models, as of March 2009, is the Canon Powershot A480. The body was built to be in a more normal camera style. The sensor resolution has been increased to 10 mega pixels and the camera shoots with a marginally wider angle then before. There are also five more scene modes to selected from rather than ten.

As with lots of the Canon products is has face and motion detection and will adjust the settings to capture these subjects.The controls and present modes have been extended to you can have more suppleness using your own settings or shooting in tricky locations. It is possible to set the contrast, saturation, color adjustments, sharpness and shutter time by hand. The Canon digital camera SD1100 IS was engineered to deal with the new image stabilization system so its edges are software and slightly thicker then the previous models. There’s also an optical viewfinder, which is beginning to become less common in digital cameras.

It includes a built in optical image stabilization, 8 megapixel still mode, optical viewfinder, 2.5 inch LCD screen, face detection, 3x optical zoom, and 30 frames per second picture mode to name only a few features.Face detection is really the latest feature for digital cameras and all of Canon’s new models have face as well as motion detection. You can mix multiple overlapping shots into one long photo.Canon’s digital cameras are always offering the gambles features for price and there 2 ranges of EOS and Powershot provide camera options for your professional photographers as well as the more general picture taker. They continue to be a major player in the camera industry and as long as they focus on quality they will continue to do so.

If you are an amateur photographer who plans to bring your photography skills to the next level, the Canon Digital Rebel XSi will be the prefer DSLR camera for you. Lets take a closer look at this very popular DSLR camera and what it has got to offer.

Cons: After taking a closer look at its price, feature and performance ration, our tech experts have trouble finding any significant flaws on the Canon Digital Rebel XSi. Nevertheless we managed to find some minor ones.

For instance, this model has no video features. Although the battery life span is generally good, it drains quite quickly when the Live View feature is being used. Considering that this is a DSLR model, it comes with a basic set of features. So if you are looking for a camera with tones of bells and whistles, this model is not for you. The design of the camera is also a little too subtle (but comfortable to use nevertheless).

Pros: Like many Canon cameras, what the Canon Digital Rebel XSi lacks in features is made up in terms of quality and performance. The photo quality was so impressive that it rivals some of the more expensive DSLR models in the market. The photos were sharp with accurate colors and good noise profile. The quality of the photos was very good even at ISO 1600.

Despite is timid design, the Canon Digital Rebel XSi is very comfortable to use. It is also very light, weighing in at just 16.8 ounces. Speed wise, this model also fare well with a fast startup time (0.2 seconds) and shot-to-shot time (0.4 seconds). Overall, I am on the same page with other DSLR experts out there in declaring that the Canon Digital Rebel XSi is arguably the best entry-level DSLR camera in the market.

Design: With two body designs; the usual solid black and two tone silver and black, the Canon Digital Rebel XSi is the next iteration after the XTI and as such is a bit larger. On the flip side, the XSi is also a bit lighter. While the body feels toy-like, Canon has upgraded the display to a larger 3-inch LCD while changing the control layout somewhat. While the grip felt rather strange in comparison to other DSLRs, almost all of the controls have been shifted to the right hand making them more accessible and easier to use. This makes one-handed grips easier with a new rubber-like cover.

Specifications: While the Canon Digital Rebel XSi is more of an entry-level DSLR camera it offers a 12.2MP APS-C size CMOS image sensor and 3x optical zoom as well as a 9-point user-selectable auto-focus system. The Canon Digital Rebel XSi comes with either the body only or with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. In addition the DSLR has switched from CompactFlash to SDHC memory cards. The DSLR retains most of the same features as the previous Rebel including shutter speeds ranging from 30 seconds to 1/4,000 second with a flash sync speed of 1/200 second. The DSLR utilizes a 35-zone TTL metering system and offers the BG-E5 battery grip. The DSLR also offers up to ISO 1600 with no in-body mechanical stabilization and a wireless flash controller.

Features & Performance: Features new to the Canon Digital Rebel XSi are the Highlight Tone Priority mode and Canon’s Auto Lighting Optimizer. While the Canon Digital Rebel XSi has a very good My Menu feature where you can customize a list of features that you frequently use, it lacks the ability to save groups of custom exposure, metering, drive mode settings, white balance and so forth. With a shot-to-shot time of 0.4 second the DSLR is average but in burst shoot mode it is very fast at 3.4 frames per second. While it tends to underexpose, its color accuracy, dynamic range and noise profile for photo images were excellent compared to other DSLRs of the same class.

Design: Offering two body designs the Canon Rebel XS comes in black and black with silver. Each comes with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and weighs in around 1 pound and a bit more. While this makes it quite lightweight it also makes it feel a little less substantial. The 2.5 inch LCD is good enough for the job while the body has a nice rubbery cover for a better grip with almost all the buttons in reach of your right hand. This allows you to use the camera one-handed with ease.

Specifications: At 10.1 MP the Canon Rebel XS is quite solid for its class. Its feature-set includes APS-C-size, a CMOS sensor with a 1.6x focal-length multiplier and a 7-point autofocus. The DSLR also switches from SDHC to CompactFlash for faster more reliable operation and features an Auto Lighting Optimizer for post capture contrast and brightness adjustment. The DSLR also offers a flash sync speed of 1/200th of a second with shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000th of a second. Other features include a TTL-metering system (35-zone) and a BG-E5 battery grip.

Features & Performance: While the My Menu allows some menu customization, the overall interface is quite basic. With ISO sensitivity up to 1600 the camera is very entry-level. However, in shooting speed the DSLR is very fast with a startup-to-shot time of less than 0.2 second and a shooting lag of 0.4 second in good conditions. In dim conditions this extends a bit to 0.8 second but shot-to-shot time redeems it at 0.7 second for raw shots and 0.4 second for JPEG shots. With flash-recycling the speed goes to 0.8 second while burst mode goes at 85, outpacing nearly every other DSLR in its class.

Image quality is top-notch, typical of Canon digital cameras with the Canon Rebel XS delivering great color and accurate exposures even on high ISO. Overall the Canon Rebel XS delivers awesome photo quality with faster performance in low-light focus conditions than any of its other competitors in the same class, making it ideal for most DSLR beginners.

The Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera or otherwise known as the 500D in other parts of the world is an entry-level package featuring higher resolution and a better AF system than its predecessor. This places it nicely between the XSi and the 40D and quite neatly replaces the XTi. Canon have been nice enough to include the kit bundled together with the veteran f3.5-5.6 18-55mm IS lens as well as the option to ship the body alone for those who already have a decent pair of lens available.

At first glance, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i’s body is almost identical to the XSi, and weighs nearly the same at around 1.2-pounds. The plastic body is rather light and feels almost insubstantial for someone who has handled DSLRs regularly. On the other hand, this makes it ideal for the newbie DSLR user as it isn’t too heavy to handle. The grip is comfortable enough and feels quite solid. The camera maintains the same large, fixed 3-inch LCD with almost all the buttons under your right hand for quick and easy access. The buttons each feel individual so you can feel your way through quite easily.

The modes on the dial are mostly unchanged, with the addition of the Creative Auto mode, which is a semi-manual mode that can be viewed as an advanced Auto mode. All functions in this mode are automated, with a few exceptions. In essence it replaces shutter and aperture adjustment options with two sliding scales, adjusting shutter speed and aperture which makes it great for the beginner who is starting to take some chances.

Specification-wise the Canon EOS Rebel T1i utilizes a 15MP APS-C size CMOS sensor (with a 1.6 x focal-length multiplier). This means the feature set is effectively the same as the XSi, with an image-stabilizing kit lens bundled together to balance this out. Waking and shooting in a quick 0.2 second the camera can focus and shoot in a fast 0.3 second in bright conditions, and can even deliver a 0.6 second shot lag in dim conditions. The shot-to-shot time runs at about 0.4 second, for both raw and JPEG formats. The camera’s continuous shooting speed is a respectable 3.3fps. The frame rate and nine-point AF system should be able to keep up with most running children and pets.

The Canon EOS Rebel T1i’s video movie quality is solid at 30fps 720p. While it can handle 1920×1080 resolutions it is only at 20fps with motion looking a bit jerky. AF can be manually invoked while shooting, as long as you remember that it is a bit slow in this respect. The camera uses mono audio for sound.

All in all, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i is an excellent upgrade for current XSi owners as the higher resolution and video capture capability are quite impressive. While more experienced DSLR fans may find the camera a bit limited in terms of control, new users looking for an entry-level DSLR with high resolution will find the camera perfect for their needs.

Every year, Canon manufactures some of the most powerful digital SLR cameras on the market. The 5D Mk2 by Canon is said to be one of the best by Canon. It is a very quiet, durable camera. It is also fully equipped wit ha very quick and accurate autofocus system that works on “single shot mode”. Not many cameras (specifically from the EF-L series) have lenses which have such fast focus action.

This amazing SLR camera has a fabulous 3″ LCD screen, consisting of 900,000+ pixels. Many say it is one of the best LCD screens on SLR digital camera. The menu is very easy to navigate, compared to the previous models. It also has a feature called Live View in which the user and does critical focusing. For many, this is a new feature, and you will definitely enjoy the addition. The Live View only has one problem, and that is that it causes the battery to drain quiet fast because of the extreme power it uses. If it is used for too long, the circuit on the inside of the camera will heat up causing the camera to be nosier than usual. The good thing is that if the camera senses itself heating up too much, it will automatically shut off Live View.

One of the cameras best futures is its 21 megapixel RAW images. You will need the latest version of Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to process images taken with this camera. The camera also has an extremely accurate auto-exposure system, more accurate than previous models.

If you are shooting under 3200 ASA, you will most likely not experience the black dot problem. Only users shooting in dark places (such as a sport event at night) might experience this, though the flash should help with lessening this. Shooting in RAW format will also help.

Buyers have the option of buying the batter grip. This makes the camera “taller” and much easier for users to hold. It also allows you to use 2 lithium batteries at the same time. This is good for those who know they will be using their camera very often, especially on trips such as camping.

Any camera someone finds will have both positives and negatives, but this camera really does not have many negatives. Yet it will have future improvements, it is definitely not something that you should hesitate buying!
