Additional Details on the 500D

Posted on 26. Mar, 2009 by planetMitch in Reviews, T1i

A very good interview posted on Youtube:

Notes I made during the video:

  • Fits in between the 450d and the 50d in the product line
  • Brand new sensor – not the 50d, a little less
  • Video length – longest time is 29:59 (5D mk ii is about 12-15 mintues)
  • Body is almost exactly same size as 450d – grip is slightly larger
  • New menus similar to the 5D mk ii
  • same metering and focusing as the 450d
  • peripheral illumination correction included
  • Digic 4 processor (the 450d has the Digic 3)
  • all accessories from the 450d will fit this body
  • new speedlight
  • Video filmed with the 5D mk ii

The 500d is not a replacement for any other camera in the line – it fits in like this:

  • 1000D
  • 450D
  • 40D
  • 500D
  • 50D
  • 5D mk ii
  • 1D
