Canon EOS 500D
Crystal clear 15 megapixel
After being involved in emel shoots, I’ve always
wanted to try my hand at photography. I had dab-
bled in it before with a digital compact camera,
but I needed something with a little more power
and features to allow me to go that extra mile.
I was told that a digital SLR was the way for-
ward and so eventually I caved in and bought one.
Many internet searches later, I discovered that
the Canon 500D seemed to look like a reasonable
choice considering my needs. Essentially at the
price range, there isn’t much difference between
cameras of this calibre, but you need to determine
what and where you will be shooting.
This 15.1 mp camera can also shoot video in
full high definition (1080p), producing crys-
tal clear footage and is not just a gimmick extra.
The still shots look great on large poster sized prints.
When light levels fall, the camera has an ISO range up
PROS
to 3200 for dark environments. The lens I am using

comes as standard but as with any SLR, you can fork
