I have the 450D, but my wife's mom has the 500d. I really like them, they are basically the exact same camera, except the 500 has video capability, supposedly in 1080p HD, but I've heard some good things and bad things about the video quality. If your wifey is thinking about getting one, I would be jumping for joy  :brew:

The video quality is pretty good as long as you have good lenses. The kit lense is too loud and slow IMO. The constant hammering of the auto fucus will destroy the cheap motor in kit lenses.

Your focus is AI servo when taking video meaning it will constantly try to refocus on the subject as it moves. The kit lenses junt dont hold up to that much use nor can they move fast enough anyways. Shoot in 720 and the video will be better with the kit lens.

Any L glass. Personally I like the 17-40L for video with the t1I and 7d.

Yes that is what most call the "nifty 50" Canon 50mm 1.8. I think everyone should have one. For the bucks you wont find a sharper lens. I take mine anyplace I dont feel comfortable taking the 1.2.

Probably the best purchase, for the money, anyone can make. It's a MUST HAVE. The 1.8 f-stop can get CRAZY DOF, I mean eyes in focus with nose and background a beautiful Bokeh. Shoot like a pro for $100.00.

Just dont expect low light miracles from it. It shoots much better at 2.8 or so. For low light a flash or two is a better option.
