For me as an amateur and beginners from the Digital Imaging Monitor is a good entry-level model. Maximum resolution and optimum depth of field I could find in Aperture f / 5.6 and ISO 100. In Aperture 3.5, you is something cumbersome and needed instead of Auto-Focus, the manual adjustment of the photographers !!! in low light !!! (but should with a strong light L lens look different !!!). For the beginner to practice and get to know the camera, the 18-55 kit zoom is sufficient. However, the application range is limited to fairly quickly as the camera shows a lot of potential that can be fully deployed with good lenses. The EOS 500D and the lens 70-300 mm (tele) working harmoniously together. Will you have a reliable all-rounder for the holidays so you should not purchase too late planen.Für good shots and an unforgettable holiday you should at least the 17-40mm, f / 4 L USM get it.
I was now able to work some of its predecessors look like the three-digit D-series of Canon and must admit erziehlen with the 500D reliable results even for the amateur / professional use to können.Video's I have not done, nor is it planned, although a Goodie good but you can see the results of the photographs, one thinks not at first a video.
My Conclusion: for getting into digital photography with SLR cameras is the right partner! The money is also well laid out 5 star until you can to change to a full-frame camera: 5D Mark II.
