As an entry level DSLR, the Canon Rebel T1i continues to impress its buyers. I just checked the user ratings on Amazon and B&H Photo. At Amazon, 98 out of 114 reviews gave the T1i the highest rating. That is pretty impressive.

Perhaps even more impressive are the user reviews at B & H Photo. There are 120 reviews posted for the Rebel T1i and all but 2 of those are 4 or 5 stars. You can see the B & H Photo reviews for the Rebel T1i by clicking HERE.
Just thought you might want to know.
Happy Shooting!
Guess what?
Canon’s Rebel T1i (aka Rebel 500D) is gaining popularity among buyers. I just checked the Amazon.com user ratings and found that the T1i has risen to about 4.46 out of 5 stars (had to use my trusty calculator to figure this out). Could it be that Canon’s sales hype isn’t hype at all?
Buyers sometimes wait to see what the final verdict will be after the release of a camera, then they jump in with both feet. This seems to be the case with the Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP SLR Camera.
Sooo…. if you have been waiting to see how the T1i stacks up in the reviews, wait no longer… it’s good – real good!
By the way, you might want to think twice about getting the kit lens that is offered with the T1i. With 15.1 megapixels image sensor, in order to take full advantage of that much information, you should consider getting better glass (quality lens).

Here is the news release as shown at Canon.com:
TOKYO, August 20, 2009—The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), composed of 50 special interests magazines from 19 countries focusing on photography, A/V products, home theaters, and mobile devices, has recognized three Canon products with prestigious “Best Product” awards: the Canon EOS 5D Mark II as European Advanced Camera 2009-2010; the Canon EOS 500D (EOS Rebel T1i in other regions) as European SLR Camera 2009-2010; and the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II as European Photo Printer 2009-2010.
EISA awards are presented to products released in Europe within the past 12 months and deemed representative of their product category by a judging panel composed of editors of EISA-affiliated magazines specializing in that respective product division.
And the EISA individual praise for the Canon Rebel 500D (T1i):
The EOS 500D, which incorporates a Live View recording function and high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor, realizes high-quality images and low noise even in dark environments. The jury speculated that the 500D’s high-quality High Definition video mode may be enough to inspire some users to pursue amateur film-making as a hobby.
Pretty impressive!
