my friend has the 1000D, but today another friend told me that the 500D is good. i need one with a fast shutter speed, because i mainly take action shots.
Answer
If it is action shots you are after then I would avoid any of the amateur 'Rebel' series of Canon bodies. For the price of the 500D you can buy a Canon 40D. I use one myself and after upgrading from a 350D (which I loved) I could never go back to the Rebel series.
The 40D has a very fast frame rate (6.5f/s), better AF system, faster AF system, much better build quality (magnesium alloy body and larger grip), larger and brighter pentaprism viewfinder compared to the tiny dark pentamirror viewfinders in the 1000D/500D bodies, higher ISO settings, faster shutter speeds, twice the battery life, etc etc...
I could go on, but I am sure you get the idea. Forget the entry level amateur bodies, if it is speed you are after then there is no doubt that you are better off with a semi-pro 40D. And if you are looking at a 500D (I would seriously not bother with this camera) then you can certainly afford a 40D.
Go into a store, handle them all and you will see exactly what I mean.

Additional..
Frames Per Second
1000D - 3 f/s
500D - 3.4 f/s
40D - 6.5 f/s
Max Shutter Speed
1000D - 1/4000 s
500D - 1/4000 s
40D - 1/8000 s
Price (body) (UK Jessops)
1000D - £349
500D - £789
40D - £599
+++++++
So you have a choice.. a plastic bodied, slower amateur entry level body with a small viewfinder and less spec. Or a far better Semi pro model with far better specs and built for speed (this body was made for action shots)
I will leave the choice up to you, it seems obvious to me, hell I would rather have a 20D than a 500D, just for the ergonomics and large viewfinder alone.

which CANON 550D deal should i buy?
AliceMayPr
i've done my research and im a keen amateur photographer, i've seen two deals and would like your advice on which deal is worth while.
when i get my camera, i will be doing sports photography so a zoom lens is needed, is the deal from tescos worth that extra bit of money, rather than having to buy a separate lens with the Jessops deal?
Jessops
Canon EOS 550D with 18-55mm IS Lens
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/77142/show.html
Tescos
Canon EOS 550D Digital SLR Camera (inc 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Kit)

Answer
What kind of sports? are you talking at night under the lights? or full light of day?
The zoom on the 18-135 is not much zoom compared to most point and shoot cameras. It's definitely a lot more than the 18-55, but...
I shoot sports with a 70-200 f/2.8 and it's not all that much zoom from where I am at on the sidelines of a football field. It is too much for indoor basketball though.
If you are shooting in the full light of day that 18-135 will be ok. I'd look for the 55-250 instead if possible.
If you are shooting at night under the lights or indoors? None of them are going to be all that hot and you will need a flash or better lens.
That jessops price for the T3i converts to roughly $976 USD. that's kind of high. I know Adorama and B&H ship to the UK (assuming that is where you are) It's more than $100 USD less or roughly 61pounds. And that is the kit WITH a memory card, extra battery and camera bag. http://www.adorama.com/ICAT3IKA.html For the same price you are paying you can get the T3i with both the kit lens and the 55-250 lens at adorama: http://www.adorama.com/ICAT3IKL1.html
The tesco's link converts to roughly $1300 USD. That same kit runs $1050 or about 644pounds.

Even with shipping on the kits it's a savings over what you are paying there! I'd go for the first kit from adorama if I were you.
