I have been using the EOS 1000D since February this year, and I thought it would only be fair to give a personal review on this particular dslre Camera.

The 1000D is an Entry Level dslr, 10.1 mp, 9 AF points, cross type, it has live view, and ISO rating ranging from ISO 100 through to ISO1600. The 1000D has all the standard entry level features, including but not limited to I,A,SO and M settings, the usual preset settings for various scenarios, it has a depth of field preset, handy but hardly used feature. There are other features to the camera, which I will not go into detail here.

The Canon Eos 1000D is, in my opinion a very good camera to start off with when going into dslr photography. Image quality is good, though sometimes images tend to be soft around the edges, especially when using the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the camera (obviously, the quality of the lens plays a huge role in the quality of the final image).

My main problem with this camera is noise, especially at ISO settings above 400.

I recently was asked to shoot a wedding, and ended up with quite a bit of noise in the images. The photos came out great, but the noise is evident, and on close scrutiny, might be a little distracting in the images to some.

I would recommend this camera to a beginner in photography, it is a great camera to get your feet wet with. Personally, I love the camera, and will carry on using it as a backup when one day I upgrade, still remaining with Canon.
