15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor
Ideal for those who want to create photographic prints in poster size or crop images to perfection, without losing any detail required for printing. The 15.1-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor is great when shooting in low light conditions and produces incredibly low image noise.

Full HD video recording
EOS 500D combines exceptional photo shoots with the ability to record Full HD (1080p). When you need to store more movies on the memory card, users can also choose to record 720p or VGA. An HDMI connection allows playback of high definition movies and images on HD televisions.

High sensitivity in low light
When the light is low, the EOS 500D offers an ISO sensitivity of base equal to 3,200, expandable to 12,800 for environments where flash use is not recommended.

3.4 fps continuous shooting, maximum burst of 170 pictures in JPEG
EOS 500D features a continuous shooting speed of 3.4 fps for bursts up to 170 images in JPEG format (9 in RAW).

LCD 3 “Clear View mode with Live View
Thorough inspection of the images and videos are possible thanks to the LCD 3 “Clear View, with 920,000 pixels for much greater clarity. Mode Live View enables real-time playback of images on the LCD to go from particular locations.

9-point AF system
A high precision AF system uses 9 AF points located inside the frame to better accommodate off-center subjects. For accurate focusing, the center AF cross sensor has a high sensitivity, suitable for lenses with aperture f/2.8 or faster.

DIGIC 4
Canon DIGIC 4 processor, coupled with the CMOS sensor, allows 14-bit image processing for smooth gradations and natural colors. Furthermore, advanced DIGIC 4 allows reduction of noise when shooting at high ISO sensitivity, and vision to initiate almost instantaneous images right after shooting.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
System Canon’s built-in dust prevention system uses three methods to protect images: reduction of the formation of dust inside the camera, self-cleaning sensor unit, can detect dust grains more resistant to be removed later due to software Digital Photo Professional included.
