Pre-Owned Canon EOS 500D with EFS 18-55mm Lens, strap, charger and battery
The Canon 500D is a great pick if you’re ready to level up from point-and-shoots or your phone. It’s got a 15.1MP sensor that delivers crisp, colourful photos, even in low light thanks to a high ISO range that goes up to 12,800 (expanded).
It was one of the first entry-level Canons to shoot HD video—great if you want to dabble in both photo and video. It handles 720p at a smooth 30fps, which is perfect for everyday filming, whether it’s travel clips or family moments.
Handling is super intuitive: it’s lightweight, easy to grip, and the high-res 3” LCD screen is great for reviewing shots or using Live View. It comes bundled with the 18–55mm IS lens, which is sharp, versatile, and stabilised—ideal for general shooting.
In short, the 500D is a well-rounded DSLR that’s easy to learn on but powerful enough to grow with. Whether you're shooting stills or experimenting with video, it’s a reliable companion that won’t break the bank.
