A D+ icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen if Highlight Tone Priority has been enabled via C.Fn II-6.Ī couple of changes have been made to the menu system. Displayed by default when the camera is powered up, it is accessed via the SET button in the centre of the arrow pad – unless you have reassigned that button via C.Fn IV-11. The Interactive Quick Control Panel, which first appeared on the EOS 50D has also been applied to the 500D.

The print/share button also accesses the Live View shooting modes and toggles video recording on and off. The button control layout is also almost identical to the EOS 1000D’s, although the quick access for white balance adjustment has been shifted from the print/share button to the top button of the arrow pad and replaced by the metering pattern selector. The monitor lies flush with the camera body, with the viewfinder fitting snugly in above it. However, there’s no top panel data display for checking camera settings. It’s noticeably better for checking images and video clips than the 230,000-dot displays on cheaper and earlier cameras and makes a real difference to Live View shooting. The rear panel on the 500D sports the same 3.0-inch, 902,000-dot (VGA), TFT monitor as the 50D and other more advanced models. (Shooting modes are outlined below.) More toggling is needed to access some functions as a result. This means you’re dependent on the arrow pad and single rotating dial just behind the shutter button when you adjust any of the functions. Unlike the EOS 50D (which has two rotating dial controls), the 500D has only one control dial and no joystick-style multi-controller. The only slightly iffy compartment cover is for the connection ports and this is made from rubber and has a rather thin hinge.Ī cutaway view of the EOS 500D body.
The lid to the battery compartment in the base panel closes securely and has a solid hinge, while the SD/SDHC card compartment’s lid is a snug fit. Despite looking a little plasticky, the new model’s body feels solid, thanks to a stainless steel core beneath the polycarbonate resin casing, which has glass fibre reinforcement for additional strength.

Positioned between the 450D and the 50D, the EOS 500D offers the same effective resolution of 15.1 megapixels as the EOS 50D, the same DiG!C 4 image processor and the same Full High Definition movie recording capabilities as the EOS 5D Mark II. Announced in late March, Canon’s EOS 500D is another ‘in-betweener’ model, like the Nikon D5000 and Olympus E-620 we reviewed recently.
