Full review:
The EOS 1500D is one of two entry-level DLSR cameras announced by Canon to replace the EOS 1300D. Designed for novice users who want better image quality than their smartphones can provide, the EOS 1500D and its cheaper, lower-featured sibling, the EOS 3000D come with Wi-Fi, Full HD 1080p video up to 30 fps and continuous shooting at up to three frames/second. Both models include 9-point autofocusing and Canon’s Scene Intelligent Auto mode for simple point-and-shoot photography.
Smartphone manufacturers all out to show their prowess with the cameras on their devices. Be it the primary or the selfie cameras, the smartphone today is completely bridging the gap between a professional camera and a smartphone. However, what a DSLR can procure, a smartphone simply still cannot. DSLR cameras are still the king when it comes to image quality. Moreover, when you need to take complete control over your frame and the light you capture, no smartphone has yet managed to come close to the performance that DSLRs can offer. While smartphones can replace point and shoot cameras to an extent, they are soon closing into the DSLR category, but that will take a few more years to come.
Professional photographers still use the mighty old DSLR for their work. While they do use smartphones to capture a few shots, the photos cannot be worked on due to limitations of file format (JPG) as RAW images are the ones helps in editing. Hence the DSLR, together with the various lenses, are still here to stay.
While it is definitely a difficult job for camera manufacturers is to sell their products in a market that is soon being dominated by smartphone cameras, brands such as Canon, Sony, Nikon and a few others have established their name in the market and offer products that are aimed at different audiences, different budgets, and different photography skill sets.
Canon, EOS 1500D and the EOS 3000D, both entry-level cameras, with almost similar features aimed at budding photographers who want to enter into the photography game for a more serious form of the art.
The Canon EOS 1500D replaces the dated EOS 1300D that was released back in 2016. This time, it comes with features such as a 24MP APS-C sized CMOS sensor capable of full HD video recording, burst shooting at 3fps, 9-point AF system and Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. We put the Canon EOS 1500D to the test so that we can give you our recommendation.
Ergonomically speaking, the EOS 1500D very comfortable to handle single-handedly — all the controls are located on the right, making it comfortable to access almost everything. If you have used Canon DSLRs in the past, working with this model would come in naturally. However, if you are switching from a competitor brand, navigating through the controls will take a lot of learning, but you should get accustomed to soon.
Design, Build:
If you happen to be familiar with the EOS 1300D, then we won’t fault you for finding any difference with the EOS 1500D. For that matter, most DSLR cameras are usually built similarly to keep the user from learning it all over again and help the photographer be comfortable right out of the box. Physically, nothing has changed between both models and the only difference found on the latest iteration is the tad weight loss. Canon has trimmed down the weight to 475g, which is just 10g short.
The 3-inch LCD screen located on the rear has a resolution of 920000 dots however it’s worth noting that it doesn’t feature any touchscreen capabilities. Also, the display is fixed and it would have been nice to see a flip-out option. A flip-out screen could additionally help in shooting from tight angles. Lastly, the EOS 1500D uses a pentamirror viewfinder with a 95 per cent coverage.
A mini USB, mini HDMI and microphone are housed under a rubber flap on the left. The bottom has the usual — an 860mAh battery with a SD card slot that hosts up to 64GB SDHC cards. A 16GB SDHC card is bundled with the box, apart from the charger and cables.
The camera is built using polycarbonate and is re-enforced with carbon fibre; this allows it to be solid enough to withstand accidental bumps without worrying about the camera being destroyed.
The lens mount is made of metal and this gives it a premium edge over the EOS 3000D that features a plastic mount. And it does support lenses from third-party lens makers such as Sigma, Tamron, and a few others.
The button layout is identical to the Canon EOS 1300D. The similarities don’t end there — it features the same screen size, overall dimensions and the battery capacity.
Like most conventional DSLRs out there, the mode-dial is located on the top. Beside it is the dedicated power toggle switch. We appreciate Canon for adding this option on the camera as turning it on feels slick. The lower-end model, EOS 3000D, sadly doesn’t have this feature and the power button is located on the mode-dial itself. Though it’s not a deal-breaker, it means you have to constantly switch from your go-to shooting mode to turn the camera on or off. This is why having a dedicated power switch on the EOS 1500D is highly appreciated where you can hit that shutter as soon as your subject is ready. Besides the dial, buttons for flash, shutter and scroll wheel to adjust ISO, aperture, exposure, etc. are available.
Lastly, Canon has bundled a standard EF S18-55 IS II kit lens featuring 3x optical zoom, with autofocus and OIS — a great kit for beginner-level photographers, right out of the box.
Features:
The Canon EOS 1500D features can be classified as a no-frills camera but that doesn’t mean that it is devoid of features. The main USP is the 24.1MP APS-C-sized CMOS sensor with an optical low-pass filter — an upgrade from the 18MP sensor on the Canon EOS 1300D and EOS 3000D. This sensor is on par with DSLRs meant for advanced users and it helps in capturing more light with least effort. This very sensor is found on the EOS 77D too, a camera that is designed for professionals. Apart from this, all features are relatively unchanged with the same DIGIC 4+ processor that has been around since 2014 and was designed mainly for point-and-shoot type of photography. Though this is an age-old processor, it goes well with this model as it can help with beginners get a grasp of what DSLR photography is about. The processing speed here gives the camera competences to a burst speed of 3fps along with full HD 1080p video recording at 25fps. The Canon EOS 1500D features a 9-point AF system with cross-type AF sensitivity to f/5.6 with center AF point.
Movie resolution Frame rates Bit rate Recording time on 8GB card
1920 x 1080 25 fps Approx. 46Mbps 22 minutes
1920 x 1080 24 fps Approx. 46Mbps 22 minutes
1280 x 720 50 fps Approx. 46Mbps 22 minutes
640 x 480 25 fps Approx. 11Mbps 84 minutes
Performance:
The speed of this processor has limited the camera’s capabilities to a maximum burst speed of three frames/second and Full HD (1080p) video at a maximum of 30 fps. The native sensitivity range runs from ISO 100 to ISO 6400, with expansion available to 12800.
The Canon EOS 1500D comes with an EF S18-55 IS II lens , we find that most people who purchase these entry-level DSLR cameras are satisfied with the lens that comes along, at least initially. Hence, we reviewed this camera with the stock lens itself. The lens produced images that were great for a beginners or amateur photographers.
The Canon EOS 1500D has four video recording options 1920 x 1080 (full HD) at 25fps and 24fps, 1280 x 720 (HD) at 50fps and 640 x 480 (VGA) at 25fps. These settings are pretty standard for an entry-level DSLR and there’s really nothing much to write home about. As far as video quality goes, it is pretty decent and does a fair job with colour accuracy and detail. There was no framing noticed and the transitions were smooth from scene to scene. In low light environments, video recording is not the best and we suggest to use this feature only if the area is well lit or add in LED video lamps for better performance
The camera comes with an 860mAh LP-E10 rechargeable lithium-ion battery. On a single charge, you should be able to capture 300 to 500 shots. We noticed this to be quite accurate but video and flash modes will reduce this substantially. On an average, we managed around 400-plus shots easily.
CONCLUSION:
The Canon EOS 1500D is priced at₹ 30,990.00 S18-55 is II Lens, 16GB Card and Carry Case(AMAZOM PRICE).The camera is an excellent option for those who are just stepping into the creative art of photography as it can give them all the tools needed to harness their skills.
The 16-megapixel sensors in these cameras are consistently good performers, their lenses are better and you get a nice EVF for shooting stills and movies. And if you can dispense with the EVF, the entry-level models from Fujifilm and Sony will cost you even less.
