    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. With the demise of the 400D, the 1000D is currently the least expensive way to buy into the comprehensive Canon system and therefore comes recommended. Read more

    It’s easy for pros to sneer at any line’s entry-level offering, but this is a superb starter DSLR, especially for anyone making the leap from a compact. Be aware, however, that Canon doesn’t own this market segment anymore; if you can get a good deal on a rival, take it. I have just got my hands on a canon 1000d it has Lot's of features that i think you really don't need,the first accessory I had was a battery grip that enabled me to hold the camera with more...

    This is a great entry-level DSLR. It eases you in with the auto and scene modes; the next step up is the semi-manual modes where you can select aperture or shutter speed and the camera adjusts the other accordingly, then program mode which the camera "suggests" an exposure which you can correct if you like, and of course the fully manual mode. This basically means you can run out and take pictures immediately, before reading the whole manual, and as your experience grows... Read more

    Purchased this 100D in December as I had some Canon lenses from my EOS film SLR which will fit the current EOS digital and they would be £1,000 to replace. After five months of getting to know it and general playing all I can say is WOW. I've got two 4gb memory cards which can hold up to 800ish pictures each. The supplied battery can last for a month of me playing. If you want to move up to digital SLR teritory you will not go far wrong with this. The controls are very... Read more

    I'll start by saying that I am not a beginner and have been using SLR's as an amateur for 25 years (man and boy!). The 1000D is marketed as a basic introductory model, but let me reassure you. If you buy it with the IS lens kit (watch out for this there is a non IS kit around)you are getting the same lens as the 450D and 500D. Same Digic lll processor as the 450D. Similar CMOS sensor. All you will really be missing is spot metering (I have never used in 25 years),... Read more

    I have just got my hands on a canon 1000d it has Lot's of features that i think you really don't need,the first accessory I had was a battery grip that enabled me to hold the camera with more comfort, my camera before this was a canon 300d, and I wish I had spent the money on a good quality lens for the 300d as the photos on the 1000d are quite soft they are on the 300d but I believe a good lens would have made a big difference.
