    napakaganda! Eto na kaya ang pinakamataas na resolution sa digicam?
    2 years ago lang pinakamataas lang ata eh 10.0 megapixels ngayon 15.1 whoooo!
    Ang ganda ng shots nito no more pixilized images! Yun nga lang ganda rin ng presyo.

  • hallo

    lol. lower pixels doesnt mean lower class of camera. wala sa pixels yan. people who like to show off usually mahilig sa matataas na pixel. wala yan sa pixel. nasa skills mo yan as a photographer kahit gano pa kaganda at high end camera mo. :)

  • mOi

    basically for larger picture quality ang mp dba tama si hallo hallo pabili nga

  • nyahaha

    30 pixels ang pinakamalinaw na camera na nakita ko, doble pa sa camera na yan ang resolution……haha

  • Sony Alpha 350

    wow galing naman ng 500D, bakit nde pa ginawang 25mp, lamang pa rin ang sony alpha900 which has 24 megapixels. Canon is canon… pero tama si Hallo nasa mata ng photographer yan. ALso matters sa LENSE, mas mahal pa ang lense kesa body.

    Kung $900 ang kit, mura na yan bili na kau Meron na bang 30 megapixels?? nde ko ata alam yun ah hehehe

  • lakwatsero

    DSLR cameras didn’t depends on its pixels.

    Sa photography, wala sa pana nasa kumakana. ; ]

  • Akira

    awesome.. this really fits my taste.

  • Iska

    mura na yan at 900$. sa europe malamang 900euro instead of dollar.
    24mega alpha 900 is not comparable with this one because alpha 900 is a full frame camera. pang-profi na yun.

  • teamkapamilya

  • mei

    what does this “video” thing sa 500D matter? kung photographer ka, you do pictures. kung videographer ka naman, you do video. kung san ang passion mo, dun ka. i couldn’t care less sa “video” ng 500D. wala naman akong galit sa 500D nito, pero, sa mga photography enthusiasts, EOS 450D will do. sumpain ang kumontra sakin. hahaha.

  • nikoy

    @ koljak:

    Some professional or well-known photographers will say na “a good portrait ay hindi sa camera, but sa pagkuha.” Bago lang ako sa world of photography and self thought lang lahat, but choosing a camera, I would go for Nikon.

  • topgun

    am a pro mga bro, it depends on the photographer’s eye not on the camera, or how high the fixels are, what matters most is the lens that took the best shot, but of course with your skills.

  • kc
