Canon EOS 1000D DSLR Product Review
Website design By BotEap.comThe Canon EOS 1000D is a great entry-level digital camera for first-time DSLR users. The CMOS sensor and DiG!C III image processor combine to deliver a high-quality image. The 7-point user-selectable autofocus system falls a bit short of some of its competitors that feature 9 and 11 points. For first time DSLR users this is a good starting point, its 10.1 megapixels and attractive starting price will make it a winner for your target audience.

Website design By BotEap.comIn general, if your last camera was a compact digital camera and you’re moving up in features and capabilities, then this is a good starting point. There are plenty of features to enhance your images, if you’re simply looking for better holiday snaps my advice is to stick with the compact point and shoots.
