Canon Inc. Japan announced a new digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera 15.1–megapixel image sensor, Canon EOS 500D today. Canon EOS 500D DSLR camera, better known as the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i in the United States also Canada, and Canon EOS Kiss Digital X3 in Japan Asia. The Canon 500D can record at full-HD widescreen resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels strangely at 20 frames per second, rather than the conventional 25 or 30 frame per second (fps). This EOS Kiss X3 features a 15MP sensor, better than older Canon series EOS 450D which only have 12MP.
The Canon Rebel T1i shares a few features with the 5D Mark II. It offers Live preview, DiG!C 4, and SDHC media storage. The EOS 500D is also the third Canon EOS model to exclusively use SD and SDHC memory storage instead of CompactFlash. Like the EOS 5D Mark II, video clips are recorded as Quicktime MOV files with H.264/MPEG-4 compressed video and uncompressed PCM audio. The Canon Digital Rebel T1i will be available in April 2009 for around price $800, you can buy it immediately at your nearest camera store or shop dealers everywhere. But I think, it will be release first in Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Korea, China, Italy, Germany and other region in Asia, Europe and Africa.
