This is a superb budget D-SLR camera at the cheap end of the market.
I bought as a replacement for my 350D mainly as the 350D is now mostly used for time lapse and remote shooting so needed a new SLR for my main work.
I assumed it would just be a case of having more pixels but this really is a generation or two advanced over the 350D.
The build quality is excellent but the screen is the most striking, it's huge , 3 inches and I like the ability to change colors, the green mode is fantastic for night time.
Is very light and well balanced and it handles very well.
Live view is a useful addition (which I doubt I'd use a lot as it does slow operation down) but it uses a lot of energy.
Image quality is much better than the 350D. Less noise and with the extra pixels it appears much sharper, ideal for me as I shoot with a fish eye a lot and so need to crop in sometimes.
Another addition over the 350D is sensor cleaning which I hope will reduce the dust issues creeping into my 350D. Overall, very pleased so far.

I have used a Canon SLR camera since 1984 with excellent results. It was a 35mm film camera. When I saw what this digital camera is capable of, I realized that I had persevered for too long with the old technology.
It is so quick and easy to use. Results are instant -- instantly stored or instantly disposed of -- which allows a professional style technique as regards shooting. Many more pictures of each subject can be taken and with the large screen you can choose the picture you want to save.
It's just perfect.

I am a keen amateur photographer of many years and have been a very satisfied owner of an earlier Canon EOS 350D model for about 5 years.
I thought it was time to upgrade.
My first impressions are that the 500D is a huge step forward.
The camera is very well built and specified and produces excellent results for both the novice using the Auto/Pre-Programmed modes as well as providing ample flexibility for more experienced photographers.
The review screen is exceptionally clear and the layout of functions easy to understand and use.
The included EF-S 18-55 mm lens is sharp, well balanced with the camera and the Image Stabiliser works well giving good results in a greater range of photographic conditions. This lens shows significant improvement over my current Sigma zoom lens.
I am very happy with the purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending this camera.

Gorgeous screen, with beautiful icons and menus (the pictures dont do it justice), the quality of the build of the machine, the brilliant beginner stock lens and the HD video recording ability make this Canon an absolute must buy for beginners. I've only just got into photography and the learning curve of this professional looking camera is not as steep as I imagined it would be at first.
Anyone considering getting this: just do it. Its phenomenal, and you wont regret it for a second, even if your just going to use the stock 18-55mm lens.

This camera is a typical cannon, easy to operate with very good performance, very pleased with results to date.
However, be careful with non cannon lenses some do not have chips which operate the lens mechanism.
