My brother got one as a wedding present. He seems to love it for how easy it is to use. even his wife who is a blonde can work it out and take decent photos.
Its a great camera for its price.
Well my mind is pretty well set on one of these, I know it's taken me a while but the price they have come down to (for me anyway) is too good to pass up.
Since bub is coming (in september) I wanted to have a good camera for that, and the video function will be handy.
I will buy a video camera later on so it won't be used as a primary video camera.
I know it sounds stupid me asking you guys this, but using one in teh shop compared to the real world is different.
So any thoughts or experiences from anyone just let me know.
Cheers

whats the RRP on it?
how different is it to the 550D?
Jens in the same boat as u Pete, contemplating either your one or the 550
*subscribes thread*
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Pete, seriously, can you organise a group buy. Ive been looking into one of these or a 450D at a price i can afford.
RRP is 1399 from memory, i never look at rrp
in retail it doesnt exist anymore, its a cut throat industry now.
quick comparison
550d
18mp
6400iso (less noise in low light)
exposure compenstion -5 to +5
3.7frames per second
500d
15mp
3200 iso
exposure compensation -2 to +2
3.4 frames per second
both have the movie mode @ 1920*1080 550d slightly higher at 24fps 500d at 20fps
full side by side here, fukin great site for camera info

500d much better buy than the 450d imho
as for group buy, honestly mate i doubt it, we buy, we lets say a lot of canon per month
unless we could get a gourp buy of say, 2000 then we might get em cheaper

well how bout passing on the staffies then
the 500D does video also
im still of the opinion from personal use, if you want a video camera buy a video camera, if you want a still camera buy a still camera
and for the $800+ price diff, the specs speak for them selves. why would you get a D90
