If you are a Canon Rebel fan, you wait for the next release in the Rebel line with great anticipation. Released in late March, 2009, the most recent version, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i EF-S Digital SLR Camera, does not disappoint. In fact, dub this release a Rebel Revolution or a Rebellution.

What’s New!

1. Megapixels

Love to hear about increases in Megapixels? The Canon EOS Rebel T1i EF-S Digital SLR Camera MP is 15.1 MP as compared to the previous version’s (XSi) 12.1 MP. Wonder how high a MP rating future technology will allow?

2. LCD Resolution

The 3″ LCD display on the back of the camera is 920k pixels versus the XSi’s 230k pixels. The better to see the live-action, before-you-shoot view of your subject!

3. ISO Range

ISO range has increased from 100 – 1600 in the XSi to 100 – 3200, expandable to 6400 and 12800. The better to shoot in low light situations!

So What’s Revolutionary?

Couple the improvements mentioned above with one more outstanding feature – High Definition video capture, and Canon sparked a Rebellution!

Canon upgraded the T1i processor to DIGIC 4 from the XSi’s DIGIC III, thus making the T1i capable of shooting in HD video.

The Bottom Line

PCMAG.com editors gave the Canon EOS Rebel T1i EF-S Digital SLR Camera a 4/5 rating while a customer review shows a 5/5 rating.

PCMAG bottom line: The Canon EOS Rebel T1i helps redefine the D-SLR landscape by offering prosumer features, performance, and image quality for less than $1,000.

Where to Get SLR Camera Repair Services

If your expensive and latest-technology digital SLR camera gets broken, the obvious and first thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and bring the camera to the nearest branch. For example, if your Canon EOS gets broken and you’re residing in the US, you can send your camera to Canon USA. The phone numbers and other contact details for repair facility and services are usually found on company websites so getting contact information shouldn’t be that hard.

If you live in a far-flung place in a third world country with no known nearby offices of camera companies, you can still FedEx your camera to a repair center. Just make sure you include your credit card number so they can charge you for their services. Another option would be to send it directly to the importing company.

If you’re into vintage cameras and you have a 35mm camera and wouldn’t mind spending 200-300 bucks for repair services, you can send the camera back to Pentax or Nikon or any trusted camera manufacturer. Know, however, that there some manufacturers who don’t want to bother with models that are over 20 years old. These guys will simply tell you that there are no longer any parts available for your vintage camera model. If this is the case, you should go to specialized camera shops that are willing to revive your camera from scratch or improvise parts to make it work. I recommend the Professional Camera Repair shop located in New York City.

For those who own a Hasselblad, I recommend you get in touch with Gil Ghitelman and consider sending your camera to him. He’s the Hasselblad go-to person in my book because he hires his own Hasselblad repair person.

If you live in New England, you’ve probably heard of Steve Grimes – the only camera legend living in the area. He can help you out with all sorts of large format issues and problems with customize machining. He also does lens mounting, large format shutter repairs, etc. You can check out his website at skgrimes.com and contact him through 401-762-0857. I can’t run down all recommendable repair shops or go-to persons in every state, so your best bet would be to ask around and do your own research on where you can get quality SLR camera repair services in your state. If all else fails and you feel that your camera is beyond repair, there’s no other choice but to get a new one.

What to Look For When Choosing a Canon DSLR Camera

Image : http://www.flickr.com

The large Canon lineup of digital SLR cameras makes choosing a Canon DSLR camera body or kit is a daunting task, complicated by the huge number of specifications and choices available across Canon‘s product range. This article will hopefully make your search for a Canon DSLR camera body an easier task by looking at two specific factors to consider while making your Canon DSLR choice: lens compatibility and image sensor size.

Full Frame Sensors vs. 1.6x Field of View Crop Factor Sensors

Choosing the wrong image sensor size can impact how your lenses will function and, to some degree, how much use you will get out of a camera body if you decide to purchase high quality Canon lenses in the future. Canon Digital Rebel Series, D60, D30, 50D, 40D, 30D, 20D, and 10D bodies all have a 1.6x field of view crop factor (FOVCF) sensor. The image sensor in these bodies is smaller, and as such the focal length of a lens is effectively multiplied by about 1.6 times when used in conjunction with these camera bodies. For example a lens with a 100mm focal length on a Canon Digital Rebel becomes about the same focal length as a 160mm lens. Canon also offers 1.3x FOVCF sensor bodies. Additionally, Canon‘s professional lineup of bodies including the Canon 5D have full frame sensors. These full frame image sensors are great for wide-angle photography. Full frame sensors also improve image quality and sharpness.

EF-S Lens Mount Compatibility:

Lens compatibility is a second important consideration. Canon cameras that use a 1.6x FOVCF work with both Canon EF-S lenses and Canon EF mount lenses. Cameras with a 1.3x or full frame FOVCF will not work with EF-S lenses. EF-S lenses deliver a smaller amount of light to an image sensor, designed to only cover the size of a 1.6x sensor. If used with a large full frame image sensor, significant vignetting (an effect where the edges of images are very dark or non-existent) occurs.

As a final note, the body choice you make may limit your photographic potential. If you intend to purchase expensive and high quality Canon lenses designed for professionals it is a good idea to purchase a full frame image sensor body. A 1.6x FOVCF body will not deliver the full potential of professional grade lenses, although they will still work with great results. Moreover, many recommend that the beginning photographer purchase a 1.6x body as the cost of a full frame body and more expensive professional lenses are very high. If you plan on using Canon‘s range of EF-S lenses, which are high quality tools designed for the consumer level photographer, it is a good idea to purchase a 1.6x FOVCF body.

Affordable Family Portraits

Before you know it the portrait can be costing in the high hundreds and the fun and the excitement of the whole project can be lost. A more affordable option is to try and do some of it yourself! More and more people now have good quality digital cameras which are capable of producing some great pictures. So why not get a friend to come round to use your camera (or borrow a camera) and to take the portrait of your family. It could be in your living room, grouped on the sofa, or if the weather allows it have the family sat together on the grass in the sunshine.

Next comes the clever part… people tend to forget how much printing and framing of photographs can cost, so to keep the costs down why not get your chosen family picture printed onto a canvas. If you have had the picture taken with a digital camera then using an online site providing canvas printing you can directly upload your digital file, choose your canvas size and pay!! Hey presto, family portrait completed and you just have to wait for it to be delivered. Some of the online canvas printing services also offer digital editing so if there are one or two blemishes on the digital image you can get these removed too, the perfect picture of the perfect family!

With canvas printing being a more affordable option you could have multiple prints made which could be used as great gifts for parents and grandparents, they will certainly make a very meaningful gift for a loved one.
