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
