Don´t know why Canon feels the need to flood the market with digital cameras! It´s not environmentally friendly. So, what of the Canon 450D, I thought that was the entry level wondercamera!
Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 7- point wide area AF system and up to 3fps continuous JPEG shooting until the memory card is full, the EOS 1000D represents a more affordable entry point to the world of EOS cameras.
With the lightest body of any digital EOS camera, the EOS 1000D incorporates a range of technologies used in Canon’s professional EOS-1 series cameras, including the DIGIC III image processor, and Live View mode.
For straight-from- the-box shooting, the EOS 1000D is available with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens – which includes 4-stop image stabilisation, ensuring superb performance even in low-light conditions.
