DSLR with very good imaging performance!

Apr 11, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Image quality is almost exactly same as the more expensive 450D,
Cons: Slower 1.5fps shoot in RAW format
Opinion:
I actually wanted to buy the EOS 450D but ended up choosing 1000D. Mainly because after comparing the sample photos of both cameras from: www.imaging-resource.com... , found out that both DSLRs produces almost same image quality. Just that EOS 450D's image when zoom at 1000% is a bit larger than EOS 1000D, however, this doesn't look like EOS 450D is clearer.

The EOS 1000D takes photos with relatively less noise even at ISO 1600. The 18-55mm lens that came with the camera is relatively wide angle, and the zoom distance is quite satisfactory.
In fact, both EOS 450D and 1000D comes with the same lens, so no doubts that 2 photos are like a copy.

However, when we compare 450D and 1000D, this camera lacks Spot-metering, a 2.5inch smaller LCD, slightly slower raw image capturing.

If you're a starter to DSLR, I strongly recommend you choose this camera ... Read more

Not bad, but not terrific...

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Canon's phenomenal image quality is sustained in this model...
Cons: More "marketing" than new tech or features...
Opinion:
I tried this model out, before deciding to purchase an older Canon model. Bottomline to me is - this is a classic response to increasing competition in the entry-level DSLR market, more than a serious contender for the enthusiasts market. It is Canon's response to the increasing success of Sony, Oly, Nikon in capturing the money of customers moving from their prosumers to their first DSLR. As such, its performance is at par with the entry-level offerings of major competitors. But it is on top of the field. Image quality is, however, SUPERB, which is a Canon stronghold for a very long time now. Even at ISO1600, you get clean, noiseless shots, which you can't do with the entry-level Sony DSLR. And I tell you, even if you're not a serious photographer, you will appreciate ISO1600 when taking photos where there is not enough light, such as parties, churches with lights off, museums ... Read more
