 Great Camera, Good PriceDec 02, 2009
I've had this camera about a month now. It is my first dSLR after a decent run with point-and-shoots. Advice from friends who know more about photography than I do, coupled with good experiences with my SD850IS pushed me towards a Canon dSLR. I decided to go with the Rebel T1i over the XSi due to the video capability and the Creative Auto mode.
The video, while nice, is not something I've found myself using very much so far. Maybe once I get more of the still features figured out, I will delve into that further. It produces good video with sub-par audio (on-camera mic only). The Creative Auto mode has really helped me to get some better photos than the Auto mode without fear of screwing up a setting and ruining the shot.
So far, I've added a second battery, wired remote shutter release, a Canon 430 EX II speedlite, and a Canon 50mm/F1.8 lens. In retrospect, I almost wish I would have bought it without the kit lens and upgraded to the Sigma 18-50/F2.8 EX DC Macro lens. It is more expensive, but a faster lens and would do better in lower light.
Overall, very pleased with the camera.
And I couldn't be more pleased with Amazon.com. Twenty-nine days after receiving my camera, it was being sold for significantly less due to a price drop. I called and was informed that Amazon will not do price matches beyond two weeks time, and since the following day would be 30 since receipt of the shipment there was inadequate time to return and repurchase at the lower price without a restocking fee. However, Amazon gave me a credit and while it didn't account for the entire pricing difference, it made me very happy that they did something for me. I will be an Amazon customer for a long time.

 Great DSLR for a great price!Dec 01, 2009
The new Rebel T1i is Canons first DSLR camera to feature HD video. The camera is a great DSLR to use for a great price. It includes all of the standard DSLR shooting modes and has an easy to use interface.
Ease of Use: The Rebel T1i falls in line with other 'starter' DSLR in the Rebel series. All easy to use, with buttons and a navigation menu that is logical. No need to read through a manual to figure out how to operate in different modes, most standard functions are self explanatory.
HD Video: New to the Rebel series the T1i features HD video, with liveview so you can video by just looking at the screen. The HD video is at first difficult to find how to use, the manual explains clearly what needs to be done. The video is not perfect and does not have many features besides, but for the price and the first release of video for a DSLR it is a wonderful function to have.
Kit Lens: Surprisingly the Canon lens that comes with the camera is perfect for beginning photography, and when ready a more advanced lens can be purchased. The 18-55 lens does the job for standard pictures of friends and at family gatherings. Though the aperture is not great, for the price it does the trick in low light settings. If you plan on using the camera for good close ups, a telephoto lens will need to be purchased.
If you are wondering if its worth purchasing the top of the line newest Rebel, versus buying an older model. The T1i is worth the little extra cash. With a larger CCD sensor and HD video, it is well worth it and something that can be used for life.

live view not a option in AUTO modeDec 01, 2009
recently bought this camera. Read manual and trying to play with the menu. The live view feature (ability to take pictures while using the LCD as a view finder) is not available in the auto (point and shoot) mode.
If you are trying to just buy a fast point and shoot camera this is going to hurt. You have to look through the normal key hole / old style view finder. In other manual modes however the lcd can be used as view finder.
Also in auto mode you can't control the flash. You can turn flash off.
Pictures look good so far. Happy over all but wanted to share these two things.
Thank you for reading and sharing.

where's my stuff?Dec 01, 2009
I ordered this camera with the promise of delivery Nov. 30 '09. Amazon even sent a voicemail saying it would be arriving before 7pm. Eastern time. It is now close to 10 pm. I've been on the phone w/a Supv. at UPS who says it's Amazon's fault it never arrived. I called customer service at Amazon, got put on hold for 1/2 hour then disconnected.
Called back spoke w/a gentleman who promised to upgrade my delivery and he GUARANTEES it will ABSOLUTELY be delivered tomorrow. No notes on the door, actually DEVLIVERED!. Amazon should inform people by what means a package is planning to be delivered BEFORE the purchase screen. I WILL NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE UPS AGAIN ! :-) UPS SUCKS
Nice CameraDec 01, 2009
I got this about three weeks ago. I've had a SLR in the past (film). This is my first DSLR. So far a great camera!!! Lots of features that I've just started to learn how to use. So far its been easy to use and the quality of the pictures is great.
