REVIEWS / DSLRS / CANON INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED

Canon EOS 1000D

28 Jan, 2009, 4:38 pm IST | by Gagan Gupta | DSLRs DSLRs

Though not the sharpest, but the Canon EOS 1000D (with kit lens) does display a lot of minute details by default. From the results I got, a little Photoshop sharpening was well handled by the images and I got the required details without noise or artifacts.

The EOS 1000D shoots at a maximum of ISO 1600 sensitivity, and does a pretty good job of it. Even when shooting at night, without flash, at maximum ISO produced minimal noise, making the final image usable even for large resolution prints.

Noise at different ISO levels can be best determined from out lab test. Click on the image above to see the camera's noise ratio on different ISO levels.

Shooting speed in burst mode was 3 FPS in JPEG mode and around 1.5 FPS in RAW. After a full charge, the battery lasted for around 660 shots (with and without flash), which is a little more than I expected.
