List All 9 PricesWith a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor and technology inherited from Canon’s professional models, the EOS 1000D offers EOS imaging power in an affordable, easy-to-use package.
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. As I remarked in that review, Canon has been losing ground in the DSLR market recently, mostly to Nikon and Sony, thanks mainly to some very strong and well-priced entry-level models. Pentax and Olympus also have some excellent low-cost DSLR... Read more
An amazing entry-level snapper with plenty of room for growth before your creative juices overflow Read more
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. It may be longer in the tooth than the others here, but with street prices well under £500 for a body and an image-stabilised 18-55mm lens – extremely useful for avoiding blur when shooting handheld or in low light without flash – this one’s practically a steal.

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.

I bought this camera for myself last year (christmas 2008), and after using it for almost a year, I thought it's time for a review of what this camera is about. Ergonomics The camera is very lightweight, even with the 18-55mm kit lens attached. Like any standard (D)SLR, you will use the viewfinder to look at the object you're shooting. Comparing the actual photo with what you see through the viewfinder shows that the viewfinder shows about 95% of that area. The camera... Read more
Short and sweet I know. Go out and buy this camera and you won't be disappointed. Excellent quality pictures, focuses 99.9% perfect everytime. I have 4 lenses with mine and love it. Well done Canon AAA+++++ Read more
I bought this camera a year ago from Amazon and have absolutely loved using it. I was able to learn a lot about the creativity modes on this camera but for those of you that don't have a big interest in learning this, if still comes with the different auto settings that all Point and Shoot cameras come with. I think that this would be a great gift for someone that is wanting to learn photography without a huge price tag. Then they can always upgrade later on if and when... Read more
This is quite simply a brilliant camera. As a novice, picking up a DSLR can be daunting at first, however it is like anything, the more you use it the easier it gets. The camera is lightweight and sturdy and feels like a proper camera. The pre-programmed functions are great and are simple to use with very good results. The manual and RAW settings really bring this camera to life and you can create some very good pictures indeed. If you are thinking about moving up from a... Read more
