Canon EOS 1000D Review

Canon herald the EOS 1000D making digital SLR photography lighter and more affordable. The EOS 300D brought DSLR photography under £1000, so why shouldn't it work?
Pros:
  • Small and light
  • Easy to use
  • Live view
  • Excellent noise
Cons:
  • Grip material feels cheap
  • No wireless remote
  • No spot metering

Canon EOS 1000D digital SLR

A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the Canon EOS 450D , the latest in a successful line of consumer digital SLR cameras, and discovered that although it is a good camera it is too expensive to be considered an entry-level model.
Pros:
  • Live view
  • Lightweight
  • Speedy operation
  • Good high ISO performance
  • Good image quality
Cons:
  • Overpriced
  • Noticeably plastic build
  • Slow live view focussing
  • No video

Canon EOS 1000D

While expensive when compared to its rivals own versions, the 1000D is a well priced entry-point into Canon's own EOS range, and is certainly a good DSLR to start out with

The 1000D marks the introduction of a brand-new line of EOS models for Canon, coming in below the range that's culminated in the 450D. The body shape is slimmed down compared with the 450D and looks more like the old 350D, released in 2005 (web ID: 79985).

Canon EOS 1000D + 18-55mm IS lens

Want to move up in the world of digital cameras ? You need a Digital SLR my friend, and Canon offers up a top class beginner friendly model right here. Read on for the low-down…
Pros:
  • If you want to tick off features, Canon's entry-level EOS 1000D camera offers Live View, sensor cleaning (to avoid dusty spots on your images) and an impressive image stabilised 3x zoom lens
  • Image quality from the 10-megapixel chip is great, even in low light
Cons:
  • Build quality leaves a little to be desired and the 3 frames per second burst mode won't win any high-speed shooting mode award
  • Keen snappers might find the lack of a spot metering mode disappointing, too

Canon EOS 1000D review

Anyone choosing the Canon EOS 1000D as their first DSLR is best advised to opt for both camera and 18-55mm image stabilised zoom, as tested, for just £80 more than the body-only price. As typical with a DSLR you'll have to provide your own memory card.

Canon EOS Rebel XS

The Canon EOS Rebel XS costs $200 less than its Editors' Choice–winning sibling, the EOS Rebel XSi , but the only real differences are in its lower resolution and smaller LCD. Indeed, the XS takes beautiful photos, works quickly, and is easy to use.
Pros:
  • Very good image quality
  • Fast focusing and shot-to-shot speeds
  • Automatic sensor-cleaning system
  • Intuitive interface,
Cons:
  • Relatively small LCD
  • Fewer manual options than other entry-level DSLRs
  • Live View settings difficult to access
  • No ISO 3200,

Great deal!

This camera is very light weight for its size. I use this camera to photograph my artwork. I work in mixed media so the SLR aspects of the camera appeal to me. It seems somewhat intimidating to learn how all the functions work.
Pros:
  • Bright LCD
  • Great Image Quality
  • Image Stabilization
Cons:
  • Click in bad location
  • Poor In Low Light

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is the manufacturer's cheapest DSLR camera, and it is very much aimed as a "first DSLR " camera for photographers looking to advance beyond the typical point and shoot.

The latest D-SLR from Canon, the EOS 1000D, represents a new line in Canon's D-SLR range, hence the breakaway from the usual three-digit naming convention. The EOS 1000D is intended to build upon the success of the EOS 400D and, although Canon is keen to stress the 1000D isn't a direct replacement...
