Best for
A classic enthusiast-era DSLR - the 500D was notable for being one of the first Canon Rebels to shoot HD video (though the 1080/20fps limitation was unusual). 15MP sensor, simple controls. For used use today: fine for stills, dated for video. Works with every Canon EF/EF-S lens made.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 500D still a capable camera today?
For stills, yes - 15MP is adequate for most uses and Canon colour science remains strong. For video, the 500D is dated - 1080p 20fps and 720p 30fps are far behind modern standards, so video users would be better served by a 70D/80D/90D or newer.
