Pros Light, fast processor, excellent performance, full compatibility.
Cons Too many accessories for my budget
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the T1I as an upgrade from my previous Digital Rebel and EOS 10s. Compatibility with my existing 28-135is and 75-300is lenses was a given, and I added the brilliant Canon 10-22 ultrawide zoom to my kit.
