The “live view” is ridiculous. The user guide recommends manual focussing in live view and yet Canon claim that they include the function because compact camera owners trading up to a DSLR demand it. But when they find that by holding the came...
Abstract: Canon's most recent SLR may cause some alarm among owners of the EOS 450D, the company's previous entry-level SLR. The arrival of a new model called the 1000D, no less, may lead them to believe that their new toy has been rendered obsolete by a camera ...
Abstract: The Canon EOS range has three well-priced D-SLRs with the Canon 1000D being the cheapest model.The Canon 1000D is quite small, but it does feature Live View, which is a bonus. The ISO range extends between 100-1600, Canon’s DIGIC III image processing e...
If you like the EOS layout and are thinking about getting into the world of D-SLR photography but find the 450D just beyond your budget, then the Canon EOS 1000D could be for you. The £440 price tag sets the 1000D nicely within the entry-level price r...

Abstract: Canon’s latest foray into the entry-level digital SLR market has resulted in the 10-megapixel EOS 1000D, based on the earlier EOS 400D. While the new EOS shares some of that model’s features and looks, such as a similar resolution sensor with auto-clea...
Abstract: It is 12x8x9.5cm, add the 18-55mm lens and this adds up to another 7cm to the second figure the width. The main difference between reviewing a digital camera and a DSLR for me is that the manual is essential reading. With a multi language digital you m...
Robust yet relatively lightweight with kit lens attached, easy to use, fair value when bought with image-stabilised optic
Little new or original, need to delve into menus to access Live View – a dedicated button would be nice Min specs: 10.1Mp CMOS sensor; up to 3fps; 7-point wide-area AF; Self-Cleaning Image Sensor; 2.5in LCD with Live View mode; DIGIC III processor...
