Hi guys i just got mine today. Looking to get the EF 50mm lens soon.

 

[mindfulness]

hi everyone
Will anyone like to meet up to break the ice for newcomers and meet friends, all for the love of photography? The details:

Date/time: Saturday 23 May, 11.00am
Venue: Singapore Zoo (inside entrance)


How to identify those coming? :bigeyes: the closest solution is to hang around the inside entrance with your Canon 500D (or other cameras ) on your neck or CS tshirts?? :bsmilie:

See you there!

My sample shots at the zoo, cc welcome

Hi all

Does 500D has "intelligent contrast correction" system or something equivalent to Nikon D-lighting ?

 

[mynameisgreg]

??don't think so...

 

[lichtleiter]

Hi all

Does 500D has "intelligent contrast correction" system or something equivalent to Nikon D-lighting ?

The EOS 500D / T1i additionally inherits the Auto Lighting Optimizer from recent models, which adjusts the brightness and contrast of images with dark areas (such as backlit portraits), although the implementation has expanded over time.

On the 450D / XSi, there was only one Auto Lighting Optimizer mode and it was always applied in Auto or the Scene Presets. But the 450D / XSi also let you apply it in PASM or A-DEP modes, and enabled it by default; you could disable it in a custom menu if preferred.

On the 500D / T1i, there’s now four different Auto Lighting Optimizer settings: Standard, Low, Strong and Disable. The Standard setting is always applied when the 500D / T1i is set to Auto or its Scene presets, and is also applied by default in PASM or A-DEP modes, although you can adjust it in the custom menu to one of the other three settings.

err.. in that crowd with plenty of DSLRs and tripods? Perhaps you can colour your 500D RED too.

Thanks for the information. So how do you guys / gals grade Canon "Auto Lighting Optimizer" as compare to Nikon "D-Lighting" ?

You mean you can't get the kit at 1399 without adding the extended warranty?
