Canon EOS 1000D

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 ...
...included thought that the new Canon would just be a fresher version of the Canon EOS 400D and the only stand out feature available on this 1000D that the 400 did not offer was a live view, so were Canon trying to pull the wool over customers eyes or had they really released a better unit? The first thing noticeable with the new 1000D is that it is a bit lighter than both the earlier 400 and 450 offerings but it feels very similar in your hand and ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

I think this camera is actually amazing. I'm really weak and found SLRs really annoying to use because my arms just ached after a while, but this camera is light weight and works just as well as any of the really heavy ones! Its also a reasonable size so no more having to take a HUGE camera anywhere. I would recommend the camera to beginners rather than people experienced in photography. It is quite simple how to use it, and then there's always auto ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

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... But you can actually find it online for £394 @ www.warehouseexpress.com :D The cutting edge DIGIC III processor allows fast operation, accurate colour reprodction, fast start up times, and low ...
...a 10.1 megapixel sensor, and a 7-point wide are auto focus system to ensure sharpness through out the picture. And the central focus point works in low light. For action shots, it takes up to three frames per second-CONTINUOSLY thats a massive 514 shots on a 2 Gb SD card!!! My favourite bit though is the self clean lens! It has an in-built dust prevention system lol how cool! Theres also a 2.5-inch LCD screen to compose and review your pictures. ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

First off I am a keen photographer and this is my second SLR camera, the first being the Olympus E-410. ''' Ease of Use : ''' This camera has to be one of the easiest to use in the world, the menus are easy to understand and the buttons are clearly labeled, after using I feel that it is defiantly a beginners SLR, as the smaller and cheaper E-410 I had before was a bit more difficult to use (although maybe it was just made to be overly complicated), ...
...both a beginner or an experienced photographer. ''' Look, Design: ''' Although slightly bulky this has to be one of the nicest looking SLR's available, I really like the matt black effect as apposed to the usual shiny looking cameras. The 2.5" screen on the back of it is amazing, its very high quality and makes photos look brilliant, this camera also has the add feature of having LiveView, which in my experience isn't much use, but it makes taking ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

The Canon EOS 1000D is an excellent entry level camera. I bought it in September 2008 for £384 with the 18-55mm lens and a £50 cashback from Canon themselves. The picture quality is excellent with a basic range of settings that are excellent for beginners to learn the ropes of photography. The build quality and reliability of this Canon is very good and i have had no problems or faults with it what so ever. Battery life is also very good and you ...
...Canon dying on you. For the price i feel it has all the functions you need to take excellent photographs and would definately recommend it to friends or family if looking to buy an entry level camera. The instruction booklet that comes included is also very user friendly and something you can learn alot from, especially if you are a beginner like myself. ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

The Canon EOS 1000D is a great camera. In my opinion it takes AWESOME pictures, and is very easy to use. The Canon EOS 1000D takes photography to a great level for those who are wanting to just begin photography or are well seasoned and want another camera to add to their work. Personally I own a Canon EOS 1000D and use it for all of my photography. I love the ease and precision and the great pictures that I am able to capture with my Canon. Also ...
...a user can change the lense for even more spectactular pictures. This Camera is great, and would be very useful for anyone. As I said earlier, it's so easy to use that anyone can use it. Some of the modes are similar to your every day point and shoot cameras, and the greatest thing is, it comes with an owners manual in more than one language. The owners manual helps to break down even the hardest of modes on it! This camera is great, if you dont ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

First impressions of the Canon EOS 1000D were great. Looks and features of a top of the range camera, and incredibly easy to use. There are a variety of different settings, ranging from fully auto, to manual mode where your creative side is let free. I am a novice photogtapher, and i find the 1000D incredibly easy to use. Set the camera on full auto and it becomes a point and click camera like and digi cam on the market, except the picture quality ...
...the large LCD screen as a preview screen like on digi cams. Personally i dont use the camera in this way, im teaching myself how to use manual modes, which isnt as hard as it seems as the layout of the camera is easy to use, and easy to get used to. Overall, this is a perfect camera for beginners, and amateurs, but still holds its own as a camera for more advanced users. ...

Review of Canon EOS 1000D

This is great camera for the prosumer photographer and is very responsive. It is fairly lightweight and small so easy to take around with you. I takes great photos, but a drawback is that the exposure can be a little bright. Overall a very good camera for a first SLR camera. The camera features many functions and features that take the perfect pics. The programs that camera comes with are very good for view and editing the pictures you have that. ...
...viewer as this is easier to use I think that the programs that the camera comes with. Some people say the camera is a little plasticy, but i think for the price compared to other cameras this doesn't really matter as the much more expensive models are not as value for money as this. I bought mine from amazon and the usb port came lose within a few weeks so i sent it back and since then i have no problems what so ever so i put that down to a small ...
