10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail to make A4-size prints, even when cropping your image. Canon’s CMOS sensor technology also ensures crisp, sharp images even in low-light conditions.

Up to 3 frames per second
For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory card is full. With a 2GB card, this lets you shoot up to 514 images without a pause.

7-point wide-area AF
A wide-area Auto Focus system uses 7 separate focusing points to lock onto subjects fast. The central focus point enables focusing even under low-light or low-contrast conditions.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system guards images against the effects of dust in three ways: reducing dust generated inside the camera, shaking dust from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off, and mapping stubborn dust spots for removal with the provided Digital Photo Professional software.

2.5" LCD with Live View mode
In Live View mode, use the bright 2.5” LCD to frame and take shots from awkward angles. During playback, the LCD provides detailed review of shots, and features a wide viewing angle for easy sharing with friends.

Large viewfinder
A large, bright viewfinder allows framing of subjects even in the brightest conditions.

DIGIC III processing
Canon’s cutting-edge DIGIC III processor – as used in professional EOS models - delivers rapid operation, accurate colour reproduction, fast start-up times, and low power consumption.

SD/SDHC memory card compatible
Shooting to the popular SD/SDHC memory card formats, the EOS 1000D is ideal for those who already own SD-compatible devices.

Total image control
Take control over the look and feel of your images with easy to use Picture Style presets. Contrast, sharpness and saturation can be customized in-camera or with Canon’s comprehensive software suite, supplied with the EOS 1000D.

Compact, ultra-lightweight body
The smallest and lightest Digital EOS model yet, the EOS 1000D weighs just 450g - and is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling.

EF lenses and accessories
The EOS 1000D is compatible with the complete range of EF/EF-S lenses, Speedlite EX flash units and EOS system accessories.

Canon 1000D is one of the best DSLR camera available. It gives a splendid shot almost every time and its this that really matters. Canon 1000D is a 10.1 MegaPixel DSLR. Its salient features include Digic III processor (Canon trademark), all shooting modes like Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, No Flash, Program AE , Shutter priority AE, Aperture priority AE, Manual, A-DEP found in a contemporary digital camera, ISO range of 100 - 1600 (in 1-stop increments), shutter speeds of 1/4000 to 30 sec. (1/3-stop increments), real-time evaluative metering with the image sensor, approx. 3 shots/sec (jpg) and approx. 1.5 shots/sec (RAW + JPEG), 2.5" TFT display, 95% viewfinder coverage, 7 AF points (Manual / Automatic), +/-2 EV in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments & strong inbuilt flash (Guide No. 13). Camera's crop factor is 1.6.

10 MegaPixel is a good resolution for developing A3 size prints and in my opinion, a higher resolution is pretty unnecessary for most non-commercial usage. ISO at 1600 is grainy and photography above ISO 800 is not recommended. Auto focus is not supported in digital display mode, however once you start seeing through the view finder, you may never want to switch back to digital display. More AF points would have been a definite advantage. Continuous shooting speed of 3 shots/sec may not enthuse a sports photographer, but quite OK for capturing cake cutting at a birthday party. Inbuilt flash is powerful. It is the most compact DSLR, easy to hold & carry and comparably light weight. Crop factor of 1.6 is not an issue for the first timers. For others who are upgrading from film SLRs to DSLRs, there might be an initial adjustment problem. Overall, the features of the camera easily cover photographing most real life situations and is highly recommended at the price. I am using this camera with Tamron f2.8 17-50mm XR Di II IF & Canon f4-5.6 55-250 IS.

At a higher price, you get can more no. of MegaPixels, higher ISO settings, next level processors, better high speed continuous shooting, movie recording capability, higher shutter speeds for extreme bright conditions, enhanced light metering, better autofocus, bigger LCD display, 100% viewfinder coverage and more viewfinder information. The choice remains with you. Visit http://thephotos.in for my photos.
