Pros
  • ease of use.takes standard canon EF lenses.
Cons
  • plastic casing easily marked
i have been using a 300d for 6 months now and am absolutley thrilled with it.it is my first DSLR but i know i made the right choice.the images from this 6.3mp camera are amazing.i shoot landscapes as well and when shot at 100iso then printed to A4 it is easily comparable (if not better) than the iso50 velvia slide film i used to shoot with.the colours,sharpness contrast straight from the camera are top notch as is the very quick autofocus.the A1 servo (sports mode) has no problem keeping up with even quick flying birds.i am more than happy with the images i get from this camera and will be using it for a while to come yet.

Pros
  • Ease of use for novice photographers.Auto focus can be extremely sharp.
Cons
  • If one does not set set apertures etc,it can be difficult to focus amongst branches and leaves etc.
This is my first time doing a review so please bear with me.Simply if you need a low price DSLR,this is a good camera to start with.It takes the Canon EL lenses,which are excellent ,also the Sigma are compatible.It does lack some of the extras on the Canon 10D,such as buffer speed,but for a basic camera enthusiast it is a good priced SLR.Some people may be put off by what is described as the cheap plastic casing,but it is very solid,and therefore is lighter than the 10D which does make it easier to handhold.There is also a long waiting list for the 10D,and according to the experts there is not really a lot of difference in the two cameras.So what one saves on the basic camera,one can spend on lenses.I am a very novice photographer ,but I have taken some quite good images with this camera,and yes I would recommend it.
