Canon EOS 1500D review | Stuff



[ad_1]

The Canon EOS 1500D (also called Rebel T7 or 2000D depending on region) is an entry level DSLR camera aimed towards novice users who want to make a foray into DSLR photography. It is equipped with a 24.1 Megapixel Sensor and comes with a 18-55mm Lens as part of the Standard Kit.

Like most of its peers the 1500D is made from a polycarbonate material that is reasonably lightweight weighing about 475 grams. It is compact and comfortable to hold, especially due to the textured grip and thumb rest, however the feel of the "feel" premium feel.

The overall body does not have a typical DSLR approach. The camera tries to cram the most important features of the game.

The 1500D is marketed to beginners and can not be seen from its features. The camera uses a pretty outdated 9 point auto-focus system that falls under the standard of modern cameras. While the autofocus (in viewfinder mode) is quick and responsive enough, it can be frustrating at time. The autofocus in live view is even less reliable and takes a long time to focus when it even works. Even the DIGIC 4+ processor used by the 1500D is much better than most DIGIC 8 and most current Canon cameras using at least the DIGIC 6.

The camera is equipped with a 24.1 Megapixel sensor, which is a very high resolution camera. In fact the same sensor is used in some of Canon's higher end cameras, such as the M50 mirrorless camera. The ISO performance is also pretty good for the price range of ISO 800, the amount of grain is still acceptable. Of course the ISO can go upto 6400 (expandable to 12800), but the noise levels become significantly prominent when going over 1600.

The 1500D is capable of shooting videos at Full HD (1920X1080), however it is possible to shoot at a maximum of 25fps, while when set to 1280X720, it can go up to 50fps. The capabilities may not be fantastic, but with the lens it may be useful for amateur filmmaking. Nevertheless, the inability to shoot at 30fps or 60fps is pretty disappointing.

The 1500D comes with NFC and Wifi capabilities, which users can use through a Canon smartphone and wirelessly and on the go. This can be very useful for photographers who post their work online. The functionality in general, though, is something of a staple in modern DSLR cameras as it would be difficult to find a new model that does not support it. The battery included in the kit is rated to be able to take 600 shots from full charge, however when using live view, wifi, flash or video recording would cause the battery to drain much faster.

The Canon 1500D is not the most impressive DSLR you can find, however with its affordability, it does not have to be. Of course, additional features such as articulated touchscreen, among others, would be highly appreciated, however, it does not need to be done.
