  • Still very poor under incandescent light

  • Live vie...

  • LCD and optical viewfinder both on the small side
  • Sluggish...
  • Build quality not great
  • Kit lens is of average quality
  • Auto white balance struggles at times
  • Live view less than useful
  • AF-assist adjustment and Flash Exposure compensation are buried in the Flash Settings menu
  • In Live View Quick AF mode
  • Camera does not tell you which AF points are in focus
  • Kit lens produces somewhat high barrel distortion at wide angle
  • Flash cover...
  • The Live View feature is difficult to use and the picture on the screen is not what you see through the viewfinder.
  • Over-priced compared to closest rivals
  • Activating Live View requires detective work
  • Light sensitivity settings offered could be higher still
  • Relatively small LCD
  • Fewer manual options than other entry-level DSLRs
  • Live View settings difficult to access
  • No ISO 3200
  • Compare Prices
  • The Canon EOS Rebel XS is the manufacturer's cheapest DSLR camera
  • And it is very much aimed as a "first DSLR" camera for photographers looking to advance beyond the typical point and shoot
  • It's $200 cheaper than Canon's next step up camera
  • The Rebel T2i
  • And it lacks some of the features that makes the T2i such a good camera. But is it a good beginner's camera?
  • Maximum ISO of 1600
  • No spot meter
  • Annoying
  • In-viewfinder
  • Focus-point display.
  • Overpriced
  • Noticeably plastic build
  • Slow live view focussing
  • No video
  • Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A300
  • Screen fixed in position
  • Unlike A300
  • Slow RAW continuous shooting
  • Some features downgraded from 400D / XTi.
  • Ergonomics and finish
  • Value for money
  • Menu infrastructure
  • Small buffer
  • Some WB issues.

  • För semesterfotografer är Eos 1000d ett bra val med enkel hantering, bra bildkvalitet och tillgång till ett stort utbud av objektiv. Jämfört med Eos 400d som på pappret är tämligen lik visar att Eos 1000d är betydligt lättare att hantera.Den ambitiöse ...

  • Meget god bildekvalitet, rask autofokus, godt utstyrt med knapper
  • Begrenset funksjonalitet, noe høy pris
  • Canon EOS 1000D Canon EOS 1000D er et trygt og godt kjøp for de fleste, der overraskelsene er få - på godt og vondt. De fleste vil oppleve det som lettvint i bruk, selv om den absolutte nybegynneren vil få mer hjelp fra et par av de an...

  • Billig, lett, enkelt å bruke
  • Litt liten prisforskjell opp til 450D
  • I skrivende stund er det under tusenlappen som skiller et 1000D-kit fra et 450D-kit med tilsvarende objektiv. Vi skal ikke påstå at det er dumt å kjøpe 1000D, men vi tror du blir mer fornøyd ved å bla opp litt ekstra for en EOS 450D. ...

  • Det er tydelig at Canon har siktet markedsmessig godt med EOS 1000D. Kameraet er akkurat begrenset nok til at det ikke risikerer å gå 450D i næringen, samtidig som det er et greit og dugandes nybegynnerkamera som nok vil kunne ta kampen opp mot Nikons...

  • Da Canon lanserte den umåtelig populære EOS 450D i januar, var veiledende utsalgspris satt til 8.200 kroner i sett med standardzoomen EF-S 18-55mm f/3,5-5,6 IS. Det var en snau tusenlapp mer enn EOS 400D, som ble lansert halvannet år tidligere. Normalt...

  • Canon har med EOS 1000D først og fremst laget seg enda tøffere konkurranse i lavprissegmentet. 1000D har nesten de samme mulighetene og funksjonene til det 1000 kroner dyrere EOS 450D, og det skiller lite på bildekvalitet. Hvilket kamera som er det beste...

  • 88%EOS 1000D fra Canon lukker et stort hul i EOS-systemet. Forholdet mellem pris og kvalitet gør EOS 1000D til et godt valg for både familiefotografen og den prisbevidste fotoentusiast. Bedst i prisklassen lige nu. ...
