Canon EOS 1500D 24.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) With EF S18-55 IS II Lens - Wi-Fi / NFC Supported

I bought this camera with absolutely no knowledge about aperature, iso, shutter speed, etc.1. This camera is very user friendly. The knobs with explanation on screen is easy to understand. I got some great pics with auto mode and that encouraged me to take more pics.2. The difference of 9 vs 11 auto focus might be apparent if you have used camera with 11 AF points. For me, 9 was good enough as they are centered in middle of screen. In some occasions where we want to focus on birds, objects near rear of screen, manual focus need to be done. Otherwise AF points are excellent.3. In built flash is as good as we hope for. For nearby objects, flash is bright and pictures look great. Typewriter pic is taken during night time.4. Battery is awesome. Canon promised 500 photos. I guess that's enough for normal user. Agreed Nikon gives 1500 pics but I considered availability and cost factor and went for canon. I have been using it everyday from date of purchase and I have charged the battery once a week max. Really it's not like phone battery to charge at end of the day.5. Picture quality in auto mode is mind blowing. Smartphone all look like toy when using DSLR. With all hype of 64 MP, 108 MP camera in phone, I thought DSLR will just give similar results. Oh boy! I was wrong. Canon portrait pics are many many levels above best smartphone camera pics.6. I got it with 18-55 mm kit lens. Unless you like to take pics of objects in home and going to use it for taking portrait pics or family outing, this lens is not sufficient to enjoy DSLR. I very strongly urge you to go for 250 mm lens(70-300 mm may be but 250mm is best).7. Canon image cloud option is very useful. Unfortunately I am not able to upload high quality images-- image size reduces to less than 1 MB during upload. Nevertheless, that option is good.8. Taking video is pain and it drains battery. This is apt for taking still photos. Also video is restricted to 30 minutes.9. There are dedicated modes for macro, sports, landscape, food, etc. They just have right settings like higher aperature for landscape etc to get best shot.10. Learn photos editing software and get one. I thought they were bogus but it turns out you definitely need them.No need to buy UV lens protection. Get a tripod. Also good memory card. A hood. Good camera bag. You are ready to enter into world of DSLR and definitely canon motivates you to do more.

Camera is love ❤ Just keep clicking. Awesome output.Just go for it practice with kit lens then choose your second lens according to your preference.

Let me explain.Yes, with 9 point AF with the OVF, you'll feel the AF a bit dated but does the job rather well. Live view has face detect but has a jerky continuous AF and is slow.But those are most of its negatives.The camera takes wonderful pictures and with digic 4+ image processor, the jpegs are perfectly usable. If you want perfection, shooting in RAW will give you what you need.The colors captured on this camera are perfect and natural, with settings to tweak them to your taste (see picture settings in menu).The build quality is solid and ergonomics of the camera, especially through its grip is wonderful. It feels perfect in my hands. The menu system is uncluttered and quite intuitive. It is very easy to customize the camera to your specific needs.You can shoot videos with this camera but without continuous AF, you'll get better results if you switch to manual focus during video.Why is it the best DSLR?Because of it's limitations in AF and simple straightforward usability it lets you take control over your photographs and videos unlike other advanced models which take control away from you and makes the choices for you. The result is you can get the exact photograph you intended to take. Combined with the 24 megapixel sensor, which is the same sensor found in almost all other canon APSC DSLRs, all the way upto 80D, the image quality is at par with much more expensive cameras.The digic 4+ processor is good for image processing, frankly the more advanced processors bring features such as 4K and such, which if you're not into video, you'll not miss it. The digic 4+ processor is more than adequate for your photography needs.With all the above considerations, it's the best DSLR you could get, in my opinion.

Easy to use

The product was awesome with great image clarity. But delivery system by Amazon is worst. They taken 15 days to deliver. It's not com with memory card. Quality of product is good as a brand name. Portability is very good.

Just okay

It's amazing and affordable product for middle class to feel like premium in 40k range.I have taken 400 photos in 2 days and got a fantastic result in photography.If you r looking for a good quality camera in budget then Go for it.

Average quality... good for beginners but not upto the mark for professional photography and videos
