Full review

Sometime around the middle of November 2003 something quite amazing happened.

For the first time a company started producing a digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera for under £1,000 – for an amateur photographer this starts to make it interesting.

Not only was it well under £1,000 in the shops, but on EBay you could even get it for less than £800 – granted this was for a US import, Canon Digital Rebel which is the same as the EOS300D, but as it was in the UK so no risk of customs charges I decided that now was the time to go seriously digital.

Choosing the Canon EOS300D was influenced by a number of factors, price being one, but also I had a Canon EOS 500n QD – their mid range film camera. Along with this camera I have bags and lenses all of which work well with the digital rebel (or at least they did until I started to want more!)

The current price (Nov ’04) on EBay is around £500 (for the camera with lens kit. The lens kit is an 18-55mm DIGITAL lens which is a great all purpose lens to get you started. Do check out some of the bundle deals though as they can be very worthwhile. DO NOT GET MICRODRIVES though, ONLY buy Compact Flash – I will explain why later.

Also Canon are offering £100 cash back if you buy a 300D between 1st November 2004 and January 31st 2005 – not sure if it applies to EBay purchases, but worth a try! (Go to the canon UK website and there is a link - or call them on 0800 180 4095 ref: 300D)

Why do I stress the DIGITAL lens?
Well – the EOS300D will accept any of the Canon AF (Auto Focus) lenses, but when working out their ‘range’ you need to multiply it by a factor of about 1.4 – this means a 200mm lens on a film camera gives you a 280mm lens on the digital camera, which is great if you are trying to get closer to action far away, but not so good for taking large group shots in a small room.

On the other side of the coin though, the DIGITAL lenses will NOT work with your old film Canon cameras. The reason for this is that on the Digital lenses they actually end inside the body of the camera whereas the film camera lenses ends flush with the front.

Quick spec on the 300D

6.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor – this gives you pictures of 3072 x 2048 resolution (most people run their desktop at 1024 x 768) and it needs an average 3MB per picture on the HDD

7-point wide-area AF - You can set a point (not necessarily the middle of the picture to focus on, or the camera can auto choose the most focal points)

High-performance DIGIC processor - Fast processing of the pictures, you can take up to 4 in one second!

100-1600 ISO speed range - Wide range for lots of different shooting modes.

Compatible with all Canon EF lenses and EX Speedlites – Great for picking up spares reasonably cheaply from EBay

PictBridge, Canon Direct Print and Bubble Jet Direct compatible – no PC required – If you are in the field and want to print out, you can…

Large clear LCD display on the back for menu settings and picture reviews (you can not PREVIEW the picture on the LCD, you have to use the viewfinder)

The next step on the Canon ladder is the EOS20D – but at over £1,000 I don’t think the extra features are worth it. You have 8.2 rather than 6.3, but unless you are a professional amateur photographer, wait for the price to get below the £750 mark.

The 300D has a plastic body, which can get scratched and damaged. Having said that thought I have had mine for a year, taken in excess of 11,000 pictures (Yes, eleven THOUSAND pictures) and it is still in excellent shape.

If you want to see some of my pictures then I have a lot of Wolf shots on my website – go to Google and put in UKWCT and look for a URL with cinimod in it.

Back to the camera – the bad news is that once you pay your £500 it does not stop there. The camera does NOT come with any memory card, unless you buy a bundle.

Very early on I only had a 256MB card – this only holds about 80 pictures in Highest quality largest picture mode and to be honest, don’t use anything else, there is no point. This may well do for most of you, but I would seriously suggest you get a 1GB or 2GB compact flash card – these range from £40 to £100 I would recommend you get an Ultra II card though as these are faster.

I said earlier do not buy a microdrive – in mid 2004 I would have advised a microdrive. The reason I have changed my mind is two fold. 1 – The price on compact flash has come down and 2 – the compact flash card can take more bumping around and remain more reliable than the microdrive which can be prone to hanging at the crucial moment.

Other things you may want? Well most likely another lens for taking pictures of things in the distance – after all, if you did not want the option of other lenses you do not need to buy an SLR and can save yourself some money with the fantastic Digital Ixus 500 (Cost £150 to £200)

What would I recommend for lenses? The Canon ones are nice, but you will pay a premium, so for the enthusiast Sigma is a great alternative. As a general all purpose lens I would recommend either their 28-200mm or 28-300mm. These currently sell for £60 to £150 on eBay so will not break the bank and make an excellent lens if you only want to carry one, but have great flexibility in what you are able to take pictures of.

The next upgrade I recommend is a flash. The internal one is not bad, but is really only good for mid range work (not close up and not far away). Even then you will still end up with a circular light area in the middle getting darker to the edges. The flash I have is from Sigma again – Sigma EF500 – a fantastic flash which provides good light at up to 50m. One more additive you will need though is some decent rechargeable batteries. Get some with over 2000mAh (milli Amp Hours) charge or they will not last long. Also ONLY buy NiMH batteries so that they can be recharged without having to be run out first. Usually they take 8 to 10 hours to charge, so buy 8 and remember to charge in advance! You should get 500 to 1,000 charges out of them so they are very worth while.

So now you have a good size memory card, a decent lens and something to light up the dark. What do you do with the pictures?

Well to get them from camera to computer they do supply a USB cable, but this is only USB 1.1 and quite slow. If you have a laptop I highly recommend you get a Compact Flash to PCMCIA adapter card – these are anywhere from £5 to £15 depending on the make. If you only have a desktop machine it is a little more complicated, but either buy a USB 2.2 Compact flash card reader (if you have USB 2.2 on your machine) or an IDE based Compact flash card reader (About £5 but you need some technical experience to fit it)

There is also some image and library software that comes with it, but if you are going to want to do any serious editing you need to consider Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, or Paint Shop Pro (latest version). Paint Shop Pro is the cheapest at only £90 and the latest version has got some very good reviews, so for the amateur it is a very good place to start.

The conclusion then – this is a GREAT digital SLR camera

If you are an amateur who wants a camera with simple settings and the ability to move to more complex manual settings it is really the only camera you should consider.

If you are a pro, this would make a fantastic second camera after you EOS 1D.

Remember though – you will love this camera so much you will want to keep spending money on lenses, memory cards, and more – so if you want to buy a camera for a budget and do not need replaceable lenses, I really do suggest you look at the Ixus 500.

Enjoy your camera!

Ground-breaking digital SLR
Review of Canon EOS 300D by Rookgun

Advantages: SLR speed, versatility
Disadvantages: Size, weight

I have had a Canon EOS1000N for some years, and then went over to digital in the shape of a Minolta 304. However I really wanted to get back to the SLR world, so the 300D was an exciting prospect. I am aware that Canon is not the only one making a digital SLR, and that they have been around in the professional world for a few years now, but the 300D is the cheapest of the new lot of digital SLRs. Incidentally don't be fooled by Nikon's equivalent. ...
...may as well get a Canon 10D and be done with it The beauty of the SLR is, of course, its versatility. Another important consideration is the speed of response. Having struggled with the Minolta’s very tardy shutter action (action? yawn, perhaps) it is with immense satisfaction that I can now shoot action stuff without missing endless shots. Landscape and set-piece photographers will not be impressed with this, but Ben doing his stuff on the trampoline ... Read review

...I have to say that Canon is a master on this field. This camera is a pleasure to use and you don’t have to fiddle too much with the controls. The LCD screen at the back is well protected against scratches of any sort with a thick layer of strong plastic Although, as many other LCD screens the image gets a bit tricky to see although this is agreat one in comparison. As an ex-pro my modest advice is the following: frame your subject using the viewfinder. ... Read review

Review of Canon EOS 300D by silverdigit

Advantages: Fairly easy to use with full auto mode to fall back on.
Disadvantages: Frustrating in certain situations for those wanting to use the cameras creative modes.

...in the form of the Canon 300D. Having used the film version of this camera to great effect I was really excited to get my hands on what has been reported to be the best 'prosumer' or entry level digital camera. As you would expect the build quality and ergonomics are first class, the controls are clear and easy to operate. The menu functions are well laid out and understandable even for a digital novice. The camera came with an 18 - 55mm lens that ...
...zoom, which was also part of the package at that time, is a very good piece of kit. Both lenses are capable of returning very good results. However.... there are some drawbacks. I have found it very difficult to eliminate image blur unless I have the camera set up on a tripod using a remote trigger, and as you can imagine this isn't always convenient. Yes, for those stunning sunrise/sunset shots it produces fantastic results and coming off full ... Read review

Ricoh Capilo R5
Review of Ricoh Caplio R5 by  kiemc02

Advantages: Great first timer camera with easy to use functions
Disadvantages: Hard to see screen with sunlight behind you

...This has got to be one of the best cameras I have ever used. It has so many easy to use features and is especially ideal for those with little or no camera experience. This camera is ideal for taking pictures of everyday life, and I have found it is especially good at taking close up pictures of family and for days out. It is so compact and the accessories available are compact too. Compared to my other camera Canon EOS300D, this actually does better photos and better quality pictures. There are also many little extras and I especially like the small compact tripod for night pictures etc since it is foldable to approx 5 inches long and comparable to carrying a couple of biros. Overall a five star product, nicely designed and at a great price. Well recommended... Read review

Best Compact Digi I've Ever Used
Review of Ricoh Caplio R7 by  marksweb

Advantages: great image quality from a tiny camera!
Disadvantages: noisy lens mechanism due to it being such a big lens in such a small body

...Picked this up nearly 3 months ago now as my third compact digital after having a kodak for my first then a canon IXUS 500 after that. I also shoot with a Canon EOS 300d so was looking for great image quality, and a general upgrade from my IXUS. I went for the R7 because it starts up and shoots so fast its perfect as a little point and shoot. The zoom level is brilliant and I don't even use digital zoom. As far as settings go its got all that you would expect in terms of the automatic options and then for the more advanced users the array of custom options are far beyond any compact digital I have used in the past. Its even got manual focus! I've not really found any faults with the camera so far, it does everything I need and more, looks really cool and is really easy to use.... Read review

Put on a Hotshoe
Review of Canon Speedlite 580EX II Hot-shoe clip-on flash by  Zmugzy

Advantages: Sophisticated Flash Technology
Disadvantages: Perhaps too sophisticated for many

...with other flashes. I have taken some decent photographs using this flash with my Canon EOS 300D - the unit will generally support all EOS cameras. One major improvement I found with this Flash compared with results from cheaper apparatus was the lack of over exposure with backlit subjects. Overall I found this flash to be much more reliable. According to the manufacturers the 580EX II recycles about 20% faster than the 580EX. It takes 4 normal AA batteries and the flash is ready to use straight away. I have found alkaline batteries to be the most efficient and longer lasting. I can usually get about fifty shots out of one set of batteries, you might get more depending on what settings you use. The really fast recycle time is a major plus factor with this unit. What is also apparent is the quiet battery recharging phase that always takes... Read review
