Feb 27, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: very good pictures low noise , fast startup ,compact
Cons:  No spot metering
Opinion:
i love it and I was amazed by the lightness and versatility of this camera , It's also great with ISO up to 800 so a high ISO is useful
Perfect picture quality, easy to use and compact .

Could Be Better!

Feb 12, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: + Ultra low noise, even at ISO 1600, + Excellent battery life, + Huge range of compatible lenses
Cons: - No spot metering, - No matrix grid to achieve level horizons, - Small view finder & LCD display, - Ongoing dust problems on sensor
Opinion:
Takes good photos for beginner or weekend shooter, but do not consider if you are a fastidious photographer or professional.
It is difficult to shoot small wildlife in heavy canopies, without dedicated spot metering.
Impossible to shoot level horizons, such as sunsets etc. with no grid frame display and a small view finder and small LCD display, doesn't help much either.
I have had ongoing dust problems on the sensor, even having the same lens on at all times. Possible dust in camera since new, or other wise a quality problem, with dust getting in.
It might pay to wait for the new Canon model 450D XSI, coming in mid 2008, which will possibly address some of the short comings of this model. Cheers!

5 out of 10 camera i wouldnt really go for this one ! i may prefer a nikon( BATTERY LIFE GR8)

Apr 22, 2006

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: extensive manual controls nice handling, good qual screen
Cons: BAD quality in auto, wasnt completely satisfied for the price i payed ( even though got a good deal)
Opinion:
was an ok camera as i hav said would only giv it 5 out of 10 wasnt realy impressed with the image quality for a 8 megapixle CANON i hav found that a 6.1 megapixle nikon seemed to be a much better quality camera also only 3 quaters of the price i would really recommend u shop around first before buying this camera ESPESCIALLY look in the nikkon range p.s do NOT think that a 6mp slr is not going to be good quality as i do know from experience that depending on the brand a 6mp slr can be very good qual e.g nikon d50,d100.

BUT ....

DEFNITLY ask for samples of image quality before u buy ! "always try before u buy" (some reviews can be not at all accurate)

GOOD LUCK! :)
