    3 Stars A slightly less explosive Canon. Review with images 08/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Typically good Canon images.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor flash and feels a bit flimsy.

    Canon along with Nikon have for years been known as the kings of camera`s but with things changing rapidly in the DSLR market Canon had to think fast. All of Canons recent releases have been at the expensive end of the market and they have been rapidly losing ground to the likes of Nikon and the new kids on the block (Sony). The release of the Canon EOS 1000D in June this year (2008)was an attempt to get back in the entry level market and whilst I think it should have the desired effect I am still not convinced they have done enough to tempt people away from the less expensive Sony option ... more

    4 Stars Canon EOS 100D - the beginners DSLR 10/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lightweight, Small, good price, good value, very easy to use, very good starter camera

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doesn't have all the features you might expect or want from an entry level DSLR

    The canon eos 1000d - I know what your're thinking. Its a beginners camera. Its cheap (well, as cheap as an SLR can be) and doesn't pack the punch of some of the models higher up in the food chain like the 600D. But that doesn't mean it isn't a great beginners camera, and a fantastic value piece of kit. Okay, so the 10.1 mega pixel CMOS sensor is less than impressive, and the somewhat plasticky feel of the camera body may reflect the price fairly accurately, but lets face it. It takes pictures. That's what a camera is supposed to do. Right? But considering the devastatingly fast advances of ... more

    5 Stars Excellent Starter DSLR 24/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, Image Quality, Compatible Lenses, Range of Features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't offer the range of features available on high end DSLR cameras

    The Canon EOS1000D is the perfect start for anyone wanting to get into the world of digital SLR photography. For the price you get a basic DSLR that is compatible with almost every canon lense and accessory produced. This means that you can achieve exceptional photographic results using the 1000D's body and any lense that you purchase. If you are just starting out i would reccommend the EF-S 18-55mm IS and EF-S 55-250mm IS lenses as exceelent starter lenses and will provide you with a combined focal range that you is unlikely to be not enough for any usual photography. The picture quality is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great price, lots of control!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ---

    Cannon's new digital SLR camera is so simple- a chimp could us it! This is due to the EOS 1000D uses tha same digital image processor as Cannon's top of the range units worth up to 6 times more the £579.99 RRP of the entry level snaper with 18-55mm lens...

    4 Stars Canon EOS 1000D (Great value for money). 19/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 10.1 megapixel sensor, live view mode, great value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow at 3fps, no autofocus on live view mode

    Hi, I´m an enthusiastic photographer who is currently studying to become proffessional. I can personally say that the canon eos 1000d is one of the best cameras on the market for what it´s worth. It´s a great all-round camera that can be used by an amateur who´s never touched a camera, simply by putting it on program or auto. It´s also a very capable piece of equipment if you wish to take matters into you´re own hands and use all the manual features. As far as the picture quality is concerned, I think that it´s 10.1 megapixel sensor is sufficient enough for anyone who wants to print anything ... more
