AVerMedia AVerVision 300i

Advantages: Easy to use as a beginners SLR allowing you to become a professional
Disadvantages: Little clumsy

...What can I say, this is a wonderful piece of kit. it give you the full suppoort of a fully autofocus system for the beginner, with the option of becoming fully manual for the more professional. Its easy to load, clear displays in both the viewfinder and lcd display. having used the camera for over 4 years it is still my favourite even though Ihave others, I tend to use my trusty EOS 300. I have taken seascpae, in colour and black and white with the results being superb. Wedding photographs etc are excellent. It can be a little tricky with the built in flash at times but this is a minor problem when the photographs are of excellent quialtiy. my rating is A ++++++++++.... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant Photo Quality
Disadvantages: Poorly made shutter

...This is a brilliant camera, i brought mine when they were £300+ and i am still excited by it, the pictures are great, the screen does the job and the operation is generally easy and simple. One of the other reasons i chose this camera was for its tough looking case, it looks like the kind of thing you could drop from a plane and still expect to work after it has hit the ground. However there is one part of the camera that they decided they should make from plastic, the shutter on the fron, and as someone has already commented you have to close it to view the pictures, so basically this vital part that you use all the time is plastic, and well mine broke. one of the plastic runners snapped, and now it gets stuck all the time, its not really something you can fix, but is one major design fault. Other than that this is a great camera which... Read review
