Canon EOS 500D
Editors' rating: 7.6/10 (Excellent)
The good: Full-HD video-recording feature; fast performance; good image quality; high-resolution LCD.
The bad: Autofocus points are small and blink briefly; video clips not as smooth at 20fps.
The bottomline: The EOS 500D is a very decent dSLR for first-time users and the inclusion of full HD video-recording function sweetens the deal.
