Got a Canon EOS 500D and played with it in the Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands. Video quality is overall acceptable, though you can clearly see compression artifacts in various places. Focus before you shoot, as the lens makes noise and the focusing process is not pretty.

I will play with editing and colour correcting soon to see what can be done with the footage. What you see here is the footage as the camera delivers it. No colour correction, no fixes. All shot with the 18-55 IS kit lens.

  • can you zoom when you are filming ?

  • @chanaez Yes, but it can be tricky. You need to practice before it looks good.

  • why are you filming with this? You should be taking images there anyway

  • @BigBaggaBlues I can do whatever I want. I also take a lot of pictures with this camera.

  • I'm looking for a good cam. I'm a beginner and this caught my eye. Do you recommend this for me?

  • Even Thought I watched the video on 720p, I really feel Youtube reduces the quality of it from the original recording on the 500D!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The filming is disapointing

  • @BigBaggaBlues the Canon rebels are widely known, not only for pictures, but is famous for extraordinary video quality, one of the best VIDEO quality digital slr's. It is widely used by the professional skateboarding community to film, being the most favorite camera for filming, second in line to the dcr vx series.

    you may check chinese video website, they suck even more ! mostly are 15fps/second, and a video like that 720p, can't be damned like 240p or worse ! can't do with it !

  • are u using 18-55 lense ?

  • Watch some Canon EOS 500D Videos on my Channel.

  • Can you control the focus as you want while you are filming? Can this camera be used for filming purposes? I mean, can I use it for filming and nothing will happen to it?
