Their rival Canon is also planning to follow the steps of Nikon to stop creating SLRs and focus more on mirrorless in the near future. Now this is going to disappoint those who bought the Canon 50D earlier and paid premium for it -- Canon's new entry level dSLR, the EOS Rebel T1i (commonly known as the Canon EOS 500D), now offers full HD video capture at 30fps. Video capture using dSLR seems to be the in thing now -- the Canon Rebel T1i features 16:9 720p HD video capture at 30 fps as well as a Full HD 1080p video capture at 20 fps, and a third option to record 4:3 standard TV quality (SD) video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 fps. {via PTB} Update: Canon Philippines reps don't have final figure on the price but says it will be available locally by May 2009. Canon dSLR owners who wished they had the same HD video recording features like the Canon 5D Mark II might find this little nifty tool with their cameras. I was able to record video using my Canon EOS 40D. The app is pretty simple -- extract the software, connect the USB cable to your dSLR (40D, 1000D, 450D), click on Record, zoom/focus the camera lens manually, click on stop when done.
