The Canon EOS 500D, also known as the Digital Rebel T1i or the Kiss X3 Digital.
Entering between the amateur 450D and the more prosumer 50D model, the 500D is the first entry-level camera to include HD video. Not exactly what i wanted to use the camera for, but granted its a plus.
Its 15.1 MP Sensor, high ISO of up to 12,800 for low light conditions and up to 3.4fps as well as a 3-inch LCD are the main highlights for this baby.
When i get it, it should come with a 4GB memory card, standard kit lens and maybe a camera case. Since this will be my first DSLR, the Canon EOS Beginner's FAQ will be my main guide as well as just me exploring and fiddling with everything on my own.
