Advantages: Image quality, handling, speed of operation, flexibility of controls, build quality, extensive system, exceptional long exposures
Disadvantages: No memory card included (that's how far I am reaching on this one...)

...Canon's EOS 10D was released in February 2003 to unanimous praise from the industry and the press - it improved on its predecessor, the immensely popular EOS D60 and reaffirmed Canon's lead in the D-SLR arena in the face of new competition from Nikon's D100 and Fuji's S2 Pro. Even now, 18 months later, the 10D still stands astride the D-SLR market like a colossus. What makes the 10D such a popular choice? It's tough magnesium alloy body and chunky feel instantly win over the 'proper' camera afficionados - no lightweight plastic here! The 10D feels rugged and weighty even before you put a lens on. In operation, the fact that it is digital is almost invisible. Ignore the screen on the rear and you could be forgiven for thinking that this was another Canon EOS 35mm camera. AF is fast and the AI focus mode that tracks a subject is very... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use with manual overide
Disadvantages: No external flash connection

...The EOS 300D, what a great bit of kit, I sold my old Bronica medium format setup to buy this camera. Not disappointed in the slightest apart from the flash positioning, when taking close-up photos. It only took around a day to familiarise myself with EOS 300, which is all credit to the Canon quick guide and simple to use menu. The EOS 300 is very light considering it is a full size SLR camera, even with a 200 mm lens, but robust (after dropping mine twice). The auto-focus system is accurate and easy to use, helping you to achieve the depth of field, maybe a few too many beeps! The manual over-ride control dial allows you to set the camera's automatic ISO setting and at the same time setting the correct film speed. The EOS300 gives you a wide range of choices from full manual to fully automatic, allowing you to dial to what type... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use with vg manual overide and great features

...The EOS 300D or Rebel (US), what a great bit of kit, I sold my old Bronica medium format setup to buy this camera. I have not been disappointed in the slightest apart from the flash positioning, when taking close-up photos. It would be great if you could change the angle to gain. If you do a great deal of flash photography then I would recommend an external flash gun, using the hot shoe as the trigger point. It only took around a day to familiarise myself with EOS 300D, which is all credit to the Canon quick guide and simple to use menu.

...I have got the opportunity to buy a wonderful digital camera from my relative working abroad in FRANCE. The" Canon EOS400D" is a pretty black box, lightweight of about 500grams ,compact and seems to be robust, with an 1.8/55 lens. The E-TTL II window displays you all informations about focal and distances. I was gone picking some landscapes and portrait views, lens and views are clean and it seems that that the EOS cameras had an integrated cleaning system that keeps its lens and micro electronics dustless and spotless automatically on each power on. An 2.5" LCD screen displays rich and well saturated images that allows you to enjoy and share instantly your picked views. Let the Camera work by itself with a high speed shootings of about 3 photos / second and continuous 25 to 27 sights in one shoot click. The EOS400d I bought... Read review

Advantages: Flexibility of 35mm SLR with APS facilities
Disadvantages: Pricy if you are only interested in the APS aspect. Lenses slightly bulkier than the Nikon and Minolta SLR APS's.

...The Canon IX-7 is one of a fairly rare breed, that is to say, it’s a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera whilst also being an APS camera, with all the usual abilities such as three picture sizes that the film format possesses. For the uninitiated, there’s Classic (your usual 4:3 sized print), HDTV, (a wide-screen print using the whole negative) and Panorama, (which is really a strip from the middle of the HDTV print blown up to the same height as the other two, making it about 10” long) Minolta and Nikon are also in the same market, and if you are starting from scratch, you may want to check these out as well, for the simple reason that they have a range of dedicated, and, it has to be said, daintier interchangeable lenses. The Canon, however, uses the same EOS fitting lenses as its 35mm counterparts, which makes them... Read review

...******************* Canon EOS 350D ******************* The time had come to bite the bullet and go completely digital. No, not me - just my camera. Out went film and folders. Out went my trusty old Canon EOS 50E, which had served me well for many years, and in came the latest toy. Already having a Canon S9000 photo printer (prints A3 size photo poster prints) and another compact digital camera, I was geared up for the change. That, and it *was* a new toy  There were 2 incidents that made me want to switch: (1) I returned from Hawaii a couple of years ago armed with 25 or so films ready for processing. After a £200+ Jessops bill to process, print and digitise these, just to see which ones I liked, it seemed like an expensive way to go forward. (2) At my wedding last year, we engaged an excellent professional photographer... Read review

Advantages: Full Frame sensor, (Practically) Indestructable, Weatherproof, Clean Images
Disadvantages: Expensive, Heavy, Now superceded

...The 1Ds is built to take the worst a professional photographer can throw at it and more, and still keep on going. Physically the camera weighs around 1.5kg without a lens, being made out of magnesium alloy and steel, thats understandable, and like canons other EOS 1 series the camera is heavily waterproofed, speaking to a photographer once who once, accidently of course, dropped his 1Ds into a river, retrieved it immediatly he found his lens damaged, but the camera shrugged it off, no marks or water damage. But what really makes people excited about this camera is it's CMOS sensor, using less power than a CCD, battery life is excellent, around 600-700 images. At just over 11 Megapixels the camera's resolution is among the highest on the market, almost 4 times the resolution of Nikons D1. The physical size of the sensor is the same... Read review

...came upon this camera by accident. I was buying a spare camera for my wife who wants to take up photography. I was using a EOS1V. Then, I decide to shift to all manual. I am current using F3HP + FM3A. On every weekend, I like to go plane spotting. It is difficult not to use auto-focus camera for this purpose. This camera then become my tool! It has logged more miles than my Nikon now. I am seriously wondering, with the good experience of this 300v, should I purhcase the new EOS30V. I forgot to mention, I hate digital camera. 300V has many good advantages. It is light and ergonomic to hold (I have big hand, even without the battery grip, I still told this camera well) The kit lens, though look cheap and ugly, is actually quite good for general photography. Canon did a good job at packaging this 30v and put a rather futuristic look... Read review

...that you can't specify which of these modes you want to use as you can on midrange and pro EOS cameras - you can only use these modes as they're built into each of the basic modes by default. • Single-frame wind - In this mode the camera takes one photo only for each push of the shutter release, even if you keep the shutter button held down. • Continuous wind - In this mode the camera keeps snapping pictures at 1 frame per second as long as the shutter button is held down. • One-shot AF (autofocus) - In this mode the camera locks in on your subject and doesn't refocus once you've achieved focus. It won't take a picture unless you're in focus or unless you're in manual mode. This is very good for taking shots of in-animate objects using a tri-pod or stand. • AI ("artificial intelligence") servo mode... Read review

...I wont go into any technicality with this camera,i will say that i am a semi pro photographer that posess the canon eos mk 3 and the canon eos 400d as a general back up.The canon eos 50e will take pride of place in my equipment arsenal as a film camera. I have had this camera for several years and some of my work from this has been exhibited.I like the overall design,ease of use and the robust feel.It has travelled extensively also with me. I agree with the other reviews that the battery grip is a must as it really gives a good strong feel in the hand and adds weight which i like.Dont use cheap batteries as they dont work which i found out while in Norway.Invest in a good medium sized camera bag for this camera with the battery grip. I rarely have used the built in flash and i never use the auto features with exception... Read review
