Canon EOS 1000D

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


Overall the EOS 1000D is a fine DSLR for the casual user or an enthusiast. The lack of spot metering is a pretty major drawback, but only for those who use it a lot. Photography students may want to consider other options if they take light metering that seriously. But if you have never paid that much attention to metering, chances are you won't even notice the missing spot meter here.

That aside, the camera does offer an impressive spec sheet and a pretty good overall performance. For it's street price of Rs. 29,999 (with kit lens), this one's definitely a bang for the buck.
