Babygirl’s here, Canon 500D

This baby arrived last week fresh from the states right into my arms. A big thank you to my friend Yousef who ordered it for me using his DHL account. I got it for just 240 KD in comparison to the lovely prices here in kuwait that reached up to 360 KD. 120 KD less is good bargin, no ?

Anyway, the only reason I replaced my old Canon 450D is simply because this baby has video in it.

Photography is amazingly sharp, slick menu, wonderful hand grip hence the big dinosaur hands, continuos photo shoot mode is GORGEOUS, my friends go KOKO when I snap’em up in that mode.

Only thing that this cam lacked was the inability for it to AUTO focus in Video mode, Bummer.

Here are the specs:

- 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
- Full HD movie recording with HDMI connection for viewing and playback on an HDTV
- ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12800)
- 3.4 frames per second continuous shooting
- Max. 170 large JPEG images in a single burst
- 3.0” ClearView LCD with Live View mode
- 9-point wide area AF with cross type centre point
- High speed DIGIC 4 performance and superb image quality
- EOS Integrated Cleaning System
- Full compatibility with Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites, including new Speedlite 270EX, TS-E 17mm f/4L and TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II

  6. I got mine 2 weeks ago. I’ve been taking pictures every single day since then. I highly recommend Canon 17-40mm F/4.0 L lens. :)

  17. The price at Alghanim is 298 KD now. When I asked about the huge price difference (in India, even with the various taxes and VAT etc., added, the price is significantly less than the Kuwaiti price), the seller’s answer was that the US cameras are Malaysia-made and the ones available here in Kuwait are Japanese-made. Is your camera made in Japan? What all accessories did you get for the price? How will you manage warranty issues? How can I buy one from the US? Please answer.

    • Het there Johny, thanks for dropping by,

      I got the cam from amazon US store. Its japanese made.

      You only get the lens that comes with the came, the standard lens. No accessories no nothing.

      One more thing: I guess the guys are messing around, the price is going low now (still its expensive), I THINK the only reason they went lower with prices is due to the release of the new model the 550 D

  18. You seem to know a bit about cameras and all so I’m wondering which is better the Canon G11 or the 550 D?
