Canon 500D is a new generation of entry-level SLR camera with15 megapixel imaging capability, the latest DIGIC 4 image processor, 3-inch 920,000 pixel LCD screen and 1080P HD camera. This camera has landed in Zhongguancun market the day before yesterday. At present, the price of the kit including EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is 5800 yuan. In order to facilitate consumers to buy this hot new machine, we specially took this group of photos in Zhongguancun store to help them buy.

Canon digital SLR camera 500D adopts disposable irreversible sealed packaging. If you find that the seal is missing or damaged when you buy a Canon camera, it must be a disassembled camera. Please ask the merchant to replace it. On the packaging of Canon licensed products, there is also a genuine Canon logo, which can be verified by calling the manufacturer's 800 number.

Next, Canon's core dealer provided us with a 500D-D camera 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 quality lens.

The next step is to assemble the lens and the body. Here, I would like to remind you that the shopping environment in Zhongguancun is rather complicated, and a few profiteers are involved. When choosing a camera, they are more professional and can play a role in deterring profiteers. In addition, don't let the merchants do everything for you during the purchase process. As the saying goes, you can get good quality products by choosing your own camera and debugging your own camera.

There are white installation marks on the camera and fuselage. After the two match, turn the lens clockwise and hear a "click", indicating that the installation has been successful.

As shown in the figure: 500D is successfully installed.

When removing the lens, press the semicircular button on the left side of the white installation logo, and don't let go after pressing it. At the same time, after rotating the lens counterclockwise, the lens will be separated from the fuselage.

Canon 500D uses 1000mAh, 7.4V lithium-ion rechargeable battery, and with DIGIC4 image processor, it can provide hundreds of battery life.

Put the lithium-ion battery and memory card into the battery box located at the bottom of the camera and the memory card slot located on the right, and then you can start the machine.

Special instructions:

After we buy a camera, we always see a strap or wristband in the camera box. Many consumers are dismissive of this small object. But when an accident happens, it is these straps and wristbands that save your love machine. 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: the warranty card and instruction manual of Canon 500D.

There are two warranty cards in the Canon 500D package, one for the body and the other for the lens. There are serial numbers on the product packaging box, warranty card and camera lens. When you buy it, you must make sure that these three numbers are consistent, which is what you often say when you buy a mobile phone: three codes in one! The warranty policy of digital cameras is the same as other products. They all provide 7-day return, 15-day exchange and one-year free warranty service. If there are quality problems after purchasing the camera, you can go to Canon Special Service Center to enjoy licensed service with the purchase invoice and warranty card.

In addition, the usability of digital products is better now, but there is also a problem, that is, everyone buys them for direct use, but few people read the instructions. We suggest that you read the instructions carefully after purchase, which will be very helpful for future use.

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 are reminding 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. Never expose the battery to the sun, which may lead to 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. But for friends who like to travel, a second spare battery is also necessary. 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.

Pictured: various SD memory cards

At present, Canon 500D uses small and multifunctional SD and SDHC memory cards. At present, the price of Kingston's 4GB ordinary speed card is 60 yuan, and the price of high-speed card is 70 yuan. The price of 8GB ordinary speed card is 120 yuan, and the price of high-speed card is 130 yuan. Of course, you can also choose other brands of memory cards. I suggest you go to the parts wholesale counter to find the price before buying a camera. At present, the price of memory cards has risen slightly. ) The 8GB memory card can shoot 1080P HD video in about 22 minutes, and the highest quality exceeds 1400 JPEG images.

Lens belongs to relatively precise optical equipment, and accidental damage from the 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 purchasing, the merchant should also send a liquid crystal film, which can better protect the 500D 3-inch 920,000-pixel LCD screen.

As shown in the figure: the internal structure of the camera bag.

SLR cameras are 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.

I wish everyone a successful purchase!

The above are some problems that need to be paid attention to when purchasing Canon 500D. I hope our article can provide some help for you to buy Canon 500D.
