Although the camera world has now turned predominantly digital, there are many reasons to stick with film - not least value for money, but also image quality. I prefer to use a film camera anyway, as I find more satisfaction in doing this, but this SLR represents great value.
The camera is easy to use - there are various modes for different types of operation, which give great images, even on cheap film.
However, budding photographers will also find comprehensive manual use - film speed, exposure, aperture etc. can all be adjusted.
The camera is a little plasticky - the battery compartment in particular feels flimsy, but it is lightweight and, for an SLR, compact, so I cannot fault it. Also, the two CR2 batteries it requires seem to last forever.
In all, a great camera - in particular it would suit people who want a first SLR with which to get to grips with photography.

Some people call me "retro" brcause I still use an analog film camera. Surely digital cameras are superb in many situations. Being interested in historic pictures of high quality, I still believe film cameras like Canon's EOS 3000V are good. Pictures that are stored on film will keep for at least 100 years. Enlargements from film are the best. I also like to take black/white pictures, especially portraits. In this case film pictures are still second-to-none. I like my Canon EOS 3000V because it is light weight, takes sharp pictures and it has an array of functions. But I can also make use of automatic functions if a picture best be taken quickly.
