- 10.1 instead of 12.2 megapixels
- 3 frames per second instead of 3.5 frames per second (in jpg images)
- 1.5 frames per second instead of 3.5 frames per second (with RAW images)
- 7-point autofocus system instead of 9-point autofocus
- A smaller screen (2.5 instead of 3 inches) but with exactly the same number of pixels (230,000)
- No spot metering
Considering these points before you buy and the question arises whether one can do without it, says the price of course for the EOS 1000D. Continuous shooting is 3 frames / s compared to 3.5 B / s is hardly noticeable for the beginner. In RAW format will also want to make this any rapid burst shooting.
10 megapixels are sufficient for best prints in A3 and 7 instead of 9 AF points are to cope well.
Only the lack of spot metering has let me see, because that will surely give good results, you sit so times closer apart.
After a few hundred pictures my conclusion:
The camera fits comfortably in your hand. I noticed is the smaller weight compared to the EOS 400D. The image quality is absolutely convincing - thanks to the image-stabilized lens. However, in some situations it tends, unfortunately, to over-exposure. Here you are then asked to get even with proper settings the desired result. All in all, I recommend the EOS 1000D absolutely, who now believes, however, from a compact camera to a DSLR to upgrade and make the fully automatic all by itself super photos, the money should be save.
