Canon - EOS-300D Digital Camera Reviews

We have owned this camera for several years and are very happy with it.  It takes great pictures, has good battery life and solved our problem of fast moving kids getting lost with our Canon Powershot.   It uses the same battery as our Canon Elura 50 Camcorder which is nice.  Sharing the same charger and batteries makes packing for trips a bit easier.

Because of the high resolution, the pictures tend to be 2.5 megabyes each, which is pretty hefty.  We tend to only use this camera at home, close to home or on special occasions.  It is a real committment to bring in on vacations.

So, my bottom...

The EOS 300D's plastic body is just one of the elements used to reduce the cost of the camera, others include the use of a pentamirror in the viewfinder instead of a pentaprism, a reduction of features (although I feel that much of this is simply firmware crippling) and a shifting of manufacturing from Japan to Taiwan. Additionally Canon say that they have altered the production process of the CMOS sensor to reduce costs.

To give the camera more consumer appeal Canon has also replaced the EOS 10D's neutral image parameters with a new default set called 'Parameter 1' which defines Contrast, Saturation...

I have always loved to take photographs, of everything.  But I have always found that my pictures were lacking.  My husband got me this camera for mothers day and I'm taking so many wonderful pictures that I'm trying to find places to submit the pictures

The only bad thing I can say about the camera is the weight.  When we went on a trip I had the camera around my neck the whole day and ended up with in some pain.  But for the picture quality I got on the pictures I took it was well worth it. 

This camera, while an older model, still deserves a look for those wishing to enter the world of digital SLR, DSLR, photography.  It is lightweight, easy to use and inexpensive.  Browsing around eBay or pawn shops, it can be had for far less than a newer model.

An advantage to using this as an introductory camera is that any lenses purchased for this camera will also work with the newer Canon bodies.  Therefore, if you purchase any other Canon, you won't have to get new lenses as well.

This was a Christmas present from my Husband last year.It is truely a great camera! The only downfall was when my Husabnd purchased it he did not realize that there was no internal memory. (Which I found a little strange) So I had to purchase a Memory Card for it, which really is no big deal, considering the card holds 263 pictures. I also have to say that the picture quality with this camera is wonderful! Although I am still learning new things everyday about it!

This is a great camera. I received it as a gift a couple of years ago, and I am still using it as much as I did when I first got it. The quality of pictures is great.

I really want and need toget other lenses for it.

love this camera...you get great shots, great picture quality

really cool effects...even easy to use, you get the hang of it
