If you find that the seal is gone when you buy a Canon camera, please ask the merchant to replace it. On the packaging of Canon licensed products, you can verify the genuine logo of Canon by calling the manufacturer's 800 number. Next, Canon's core dealer provides a 500D-D camera as a display for us to shoot.

In addition to the camera and lens, Canon 500D's complete set of accessories also includes: camera strap, USB data cable, video output cable, battery, charger, power cord, two warranty cards (one camera and one lens), two Canon software CDs and a manual. Need to remind everyone that except the power cord and warranty card, all accessories have special packaging bags.

When choosing Canon 500D, carefully check the lens bayonet. Unused mounts are as clean as new, and used mounts will have scratches.

At present, Sony, Pentax and Olympus SLR cameras all adopt the anti-shake function of the fuselage, which ensures that all the lenses installed on these products are automatically upgraded to anti-shake lenses. In order to enhance the competitiveness of their products, manufacturers of lens anti-shake systems such as Canon and Nikon not only introduced more cheap anti-shake lenses, but also added anti-shake functions to the lens group of entry-level products. Attention should also be paid when purchasing, because the first two generations of Canon 18-55mm lens groups are anti-shake heads like EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 in appearance and performance besides anti-shake. Pay attention to whether there is an anti-shake switch on the mirror!

Take out the lens, open the front and back covers and observe the light carefully. There are no fingerprints and stains on the lens, and there are no impurities in the lens barrel. The zoom ring is smooth and moderately damped, which is a good lens. Next, assemble the lens and fuselage, and remind me that you can get good quality products by choosing and debugging the camera yourself.

Special note: after we buy a camera, we will see a strap or wristband in the camera box. Our evaluation editor, the first thing after receiving the evaluation camera, is to put a strap or wristband on the camera. In the process of sampling, it is inevitable that the camera will fall by mistake. It is these straps and wristbands that provide the final protection, so that the camera can avoid the fate of eliminating fragrance and jade.

Therefore, I would like to remind everyone that the strap and wristband must be tied to the camera after purchase. When using the camera, don't be afraid of trouble and don't pretend to be chic. Be sure to wear a strap and wrist strap. The way to wear the strap of SLR camera is complicated. Please read the installation drawing in the manual in detail. The most convenient way is to ask the salesperson to help tie it when you buy it.

Pictured: warranty card and instruction manual of Canon 500D * * There are two warranty cards in the package of Canon 500D, one for the body and the other for the lens. There are serial numbers on the product packaging box, warranty card and camera lens. Make sure these three numbers are the same, and all of them provide 7-day return, 15-day exchange and one-year free warranty service. If there are quality problems after buying the camera, you can rely on the purchase invoice and warranty card. First of all, the lithium-ion rechargeable battery itself has no memory effect and is activated when it leaves the factory. It can be fully charged in 2-3 hours. Now the instructions of digital cameras remind consumers not to overcharge and discharge, so as not to affect the battery life and cause safety hazards. If you don't use the camera for a long time, please take out the battery and put it in a cool and dry place. Don't expose it to the sun, which may cause safety problems, especially don't put the battery under the windshield of the car. When we buy a camera, there is a plastic protective cover on the battery. Please install the battery when storing it to protect the battery electrodes from damage.

In fact, the endurance of the 500D is still very strong, and an original battery in the package can meet the needs. We suggest that you can choose the domestic brand-Pinsheng as the backup battery. As a leading battery manufacturer in China, the quality and performance of Pinsheng can still be guaranteed. The price of Pinsheng battery 500D is around 80 yuan, which is much more than the original battery purchased in 400 yuan alone.

Memory cards currently include Canon 500D SD and SDHC memory cards. At present, the price of Kingston's 4GB ordinary speed card is 60 yuan, and that of high-speed card is 70 yuan. 8GB ordinary speed card 120 yuan, high speed card 130 yuan. The 8GB memory card can shoot 1080P HD video in about 22 minutes, which is higher than the JPEG image of 1400, with the highest quality.

Pictured: Kengo 58mm ultraviolet lens is a relatively precise optical device, and accidental damage from outside may cause irreparable losses. Therefore, it is best to equip your lenses with a UV mirror for protection. Considering the positioning of 18-55mm "dog's head", we think that an ordinary Kengo UV mirror with a lower price than that in 50 yuan is enough, or choose a coated product, and the price is not more than 100 yuan. In addition, when buying, let the merchant send a liquid crystal film, which can better protect the 500D 3 inch 920 thousand pixel LCD screen.

Pictured: The SLR camera in the camera bag is very expensive. Find a safe home. From left to right, the camera bags in the picture are: Canon camera bag 150-200 yuan (not original from Canon), Le Shebao camera bag 300-400 yuan (a famous brand), and a knapsack with a miscellaneous brand within 50 yuan (so-called shanzhai). There are many kinds of camera bags on the market at present. Please buy according to your actual needs. The choice of camera bag mainly depends on workmanship and protective ability, and products with solid protective layer are naturally expensive.
