Good points: Solid build despite lightweight plastic construction; relatively easy to use, and is responsive and reliable; good quality kit lens and good results Bad points: Over-priced compared to closest rivals; activating Live View requires detective work; light sensitivity settings offered could be higher still Overall: Everything you’d want from a beginner SLR is here – except a truly budget price Read more
The EOS 1000D is a great camera. It’s quick and provides excellent quality images. It does have some very strong competition, including from other Canon models, and still seems to be too complex to attract compact users. Read more
The compact, lightweight 10-megapixel 1000D is the most affordable route into the Canon EOS system, which offers the unmatchable advantage of over 60 compatible lenses.
