Product Description
It's hardly surprising this camera won the prize for best camera 2008 at the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) awards. The EOS 1000D is designed for anyone ready to take the next step in creative photography. This practical camera comes with a built-in EOS cleaning system and a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor. The EOS 1000D also integrates a low-pass filter with a self-cleaning unit, which captures and removes the tiniest dust particles every time the camera is switched on. A DIGIC III image processor allows you to take professional pictures continuously at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, while its on-screen viewing mode enables you to monitor your creations before and after taking them. Among the 1000D?s other user-friendly features you?ll find a set of easy-to-use menus and quick access functions, an automatic focus and a comprehensive range of white balance settings, not to mention a number of scene modes, so you can add the finishing touches to your shot!The EOS 1000D is supplied here with the EF-S 18-55 mm lens.

 Canon EOS 1000D DSLR - USER Review October 31, 2008
D. Glasgow (Edinburgh UK.)

I've owned my Canon 1000D for about 3 weeks now and have given it a reasonable test drive. The one thing that strikes me most is the ease at which I can find my way around the camera instantly to find the correct settings (very intuitive). Everything is where it should be, and clearly well marked.
The Camera noise is non-exsistant at ISO 800 and ISO 1600, (outstanding). The EOS 1000D is very similar in shape and style to the 450D, it even shares the exact same "LIVE VIEW" technology, all the button's are the same, layout the same, just the 1000D sports a 10mp Sensor and the 450D a 12mp Sensor. I so far have only used the 18-55mm image stabilized kit lens, and am very satisfied with the results, the 1000D Kit lens construction and optics are far superior to the kit lens supplied with the Canon Eos 400D, I've read all the reviews before buying this camera, and most professional reviewers compliment the new Canon "Optical Image Stabilized" Kit lens that comes with the EOS 1000D camera. I have taken a variety of shots in many conditions and I must say I can't find any fault with the Kit lens; its very sharp and provides nice clean shots from 18mm through to 55mm.
(I have managed several indoor hand held shot's as low as a 1/8th of a second), it was no problem at all, the image came out razor sharp as you would expect from a Canon EOS DSLR with I.S technology. In very dim or very low light conditions you can adjust the film speed to ISO 1600, the results are truly superb, no noise or evidence of any grain whatsoever.
The Highlight of the Camera for me was Canon's very impressive software package, the highly sought after - "(DPP) DIGITAL PHOTO PROFESSIONAL", "RAW IMAGE TASK", "PHOTO STITCH", and "PICTURE STYLE EDITOR" + other Canon Utilities... to me this software is priceless (in my view), and is a lovely addition to the EOS 1000D Camera outfit.
If you have always wanted a Canon DSLR Camera but never had the Dosh, now is the perfect time, much better technology at a very affordable price.
At the current price you will find it very hard to beat. (anywhere.!)
Highly Recommended. 9/10
Please be so Kind to rate my review - Cheers! David.

...I really can't fault this.
I'm the first to admit that I am no expert in photography: this is my first DSLR so I am still learning as I go along. Friends who do know what they are taking about and have the 400D have expressed a degree of envy so I know it is capable of all the advanced stuff - but even as a novice I can see the difference.
In full auto mode it takes perfectly acceptable photos, and the image stabilisation helps a lot. I am still experimenting with the more advanced modes, learning one thing at a time, but full auto is a good safety net.
Battery life looks good too. I have taken about 300 photos so far and the battery level display has still not dropped from the full setting. As it was a new toy you can imagine this involved a lot more pointless zooming than strictly necessary and my old compact would have been drained long ago. I would feel confident taking this away for a day out, or even a week's holiday, without any means to re-charge it. Re-charging is quick too (although the initial charge when I got it was possibly the longest two hours of my life!)
I was torn between this and the 450D and eventually decided that for the cost of the 450 I could live without an extra 2 megapixels and 2 more auto focus points. Not having an infrared port is the only niggle, but you can find third-party remotes that provide that if necessary.
So far I have found that this is ideal for a beginner like me. That is not to say that it is at all limited, but it is a comfort to know that I can still take decent pictures while I am still getting the hang of it, and even if I never do learn how to use all the functions I will still have something that is a great improvement on what went before.
A perfect introduction to the world of DSLR I think.

I purchased this as a novice but have learned a lot reading through the in depth manual. I find this camera very capable and easy to use in comparison to the d100 and d80 cameras they have at work!! very nice.
