| Comments | It's hardly surprising this camera won the prize for best camera 2008 at the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) awards. The EOS 1000D is designed for anyone ready to take the next step in creative photography. This practical camera comes with a built-in EOS cleaning system and a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor. The EOS 1000D also integrates a low-pass filter with a self-cleaning unit, which captures and removes the tiniest dust particles every time the camera is switched on. A DIGIC III image processor allows you to take professional pictures continuously at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, while its on-screen viewing mode enables you to monitor your creations before and after taking them. Among the 1000D's other user-friendly features you'll find a set of easy-to-use menus and quick access functions, an automatic focus and a comprehensive range of white balance settings, not to mention a number of scene modes, so you can add the finishing touches to your shot!
The EOS 1000D is supplied here with the EF-S 18-55mm lens. |
