Actually, there is not much to add, which have not already written the other reviewer. The 1000D is the 450D in almost to nothing. According to the latest Siftung-Warentest Comparison (6/2009) it is of the image quality with a score of 2.2, just before the 450D (also 2.2) and 50D (2.4). She has fewer pixels but for a better picture with lower light intensity. And that is often decisive. Although the bayonet came off worse in the test, I can not confirm that - and this is very well made. The functional scope is enormous. I will try and test a lot. The autofocus problems that sometimes cause image blur (and one of which is sometimes reported in the reviews), I did not because I did not buy a kit lens, but've dazubestellt a good sigma lens for housing. Therefore, there are only around Top marks for this camera (which is why the camera has also received an EISA Award for 2008/2009 for the best). The only complaint may be that in the fully automatic mode the flash continuously triggers so that no shadows occur (and you can not turn off the flash in this mode). Others do SLRs but also - after all, are not compact. But who wants to take pictures with an SLR only in fully automatic mode?
