The newest addition to Canon’s entry-level DSLR range, the Canon EOS 1500D with EF-S18-55 III lens has been designed for people who seek out new experiences and want to share their adventures seamlessly online on social media. The cameras’ powerful combination of APS-C sensor technology, DIGIC 4+ image processor, Wi-Fi connectivity and straightforward in-camera feature guides enable stories to be captured and shared with highly detailed photos and Full HD movies.
With the EOS 1500D featuring a new 24.1 Megapixel APS-C sensor, the camera allows for compelling storytelling with superb control over depth of field for beautifully blurred image backgrounds. Shooting rich, atmospheric photos during night-time adventures is also made possible, with the camera being capable of low-light shooting up to ISO 6400, expandable to ISO 12800.v
The DIGIC 4+ image processor, used in both models, powers Canon’s Scene Intelligent Auto mode, enabling simple point and shoot photography with superb image results, as it automatically optimises every shot. The fast and responsive DIGIC 4+ image processor enables the Full HD video capabilities in both models, breathing cinematic life into captured memories.
The Canon EOS 1500D camera is Wi-Fi enabled for seamless smartphone connectivity via the Canon Camera Connect app (iOS and Android), enabling adventurers to rapidly shoot and share their camera content online on social media whilst on the move. These processes are made even easier for the EOS 1500D with the inclusion of Near Field Communication (NFC), which can establish a Wi-Fi connection to a smartphone by simply tapping the device on the camera (available on compatible Android devices).
