The Canon EOS 500D is a 15.1 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced by Canon (Canon (company)) on 25 March, 2009. It was released in May 2009. It is known as the EOS Kiss X3 in Japan, and as the EOS Rebel T1i in North America. It continues the Rebel line of mid-range DSLR cameras, is placed by Canon as the next model up from the EOS 450D, and is superseded by the EOS 550D (Canon EOS 550D).
It is the third digital single-lens reflex camera to feature a movie mode and the second to feature full 1080p video recording, albeit at the rate of 20 frames/sec. The camera shares a few features with the high-end Canon EOS 5D Mark II, including movie mode, Live preview, and DiG!C 4 (DIGIC#DIGIC 4). Like the EOS 450D (Canon EOS 450D) and EOS 1000D (Canon EOS 1000D), it uses SDHC (Secure_Digital_Card#SDHC) media storage, and is the third EOS model to use that medium instead of CompactFlash. Like the EOS 5D Mark II, video clips are recorded as MOV (.mov#QuickTime_file_format) (QuickTime) files with H.264/MPEG-4 (H.264) compressed video and linear PCM (Pulse-code modulation) audio.
