Canon EOS 1000D: frugal version of the EOS 450D

1000D

For some reason when it launched the Canon EOS 1000D (Rebel Xs), while sales of the EOS 450D is good-good. But now the 450D prices have nearly parallel to the semi-pro DSLR cameras like the Nikon D80 so that the shells are so pretty 1000D sought by the budget-minded, let alone 400D is now increasingly difficult to find. EOS 1000D was launched mid-year 2008 with a package of 18-55mm kit lens which has equipped the IS. This camera uses 10 MP CMOS sensor with 7 AF points and is able to achieve ISO 1600. Quite surprising to find that the 1000D is equipped with live-view, though still less stable than 450D. Shutter is fairly standard performance with 3 fps, and also a standard LCD screen with 2.5 inches.

• Plus

Live view so reliable 1000D, along with all the other advantages of the Canon as a good noise reduction performance and tone of his character is also good. EOS 1000D can also be paired with a variety of EF lenses, the EF-S lenses or other brand alternatives. We place the 7 point AF as a plus in this camera, even though this is down-spec when compared with the 400D has 9 AF points. O yes, the EOS 1000D also uses anti-dust system are similar to those used in the 450D.

• Minus

Most photographers can not accept the fact if there's not a DSLR camera equipped with spot metering, because this feature is important for use in times of difficult lighting conditions. In fact, the 1000D does not have spot metering. Does this make you feel the absence of an objection or not, it's up to you. Other deficiencies pretty basic, this is the camera body that feels less comfortable because it was wrapped like a rubber layer of plastic without the 400D or 450D.

Lens support

No need to worry about the support of Canon lenses. To friends kit lens, a telephoto lens can be selected EF-S 55-250mm lens and can be tested widenya EF-S 10-22mm. When bored with kit lens kit lens and want the best tested from Canon, try the EF-S 17-85mm USM.

In 2009 the successor EOS 1000D

Yet exist, at least until July 2009 this writing this. Rumors, Canon will make a successor who will be named EOS 1000D 2000D with HD feature movie. Could have predicted, prices will soar 2000D EOS 1000D how far that is still more attractive in terms of selling price.
