I recently made me this gorgeous SLR camera (you only treat anything!) And have so far not regretted minute. For me it is simply the best SLR on the market. Your equipment is truly amazing - and by no means automatic - at this price. Due to her Autufokus, formerly vorbehlaten only upmarket, Canon continues with the EOS 300V new standards in the field of semi-professional SLR cameras. Always amazing is the fact how to make it possible to pack so much innovative technology into such a compact, modern and lightweight body. But through the many refinements, the housing nmicht only modern, but also super elegant. It is decorated in silver, gray and black, and is really extremely easy. Thanks to the metal bayonet, the Canon EOS 300V are each lens stable hold. (The Canon lenses are though to purchase a little more expensive, but you know what you have, because Canon lenses stand for precision in all situations.) There are motivational and creative programs that serve the photographers snapping away for easy and professional photography. A built-in flash fires automatically. There are of course a tripod thread and a socket for a remote control. The data back-lit displays all relevant information for an image and the film loading is thanks Infrared barrier breeze. With DX-coded film, the sensitivity is automatically measured by the camera and included in the exposure. Multiple Exposure, Continuous shooting and self-timer can be activated by pushing a button. There are so many options that I can not list them here. The autofocus is really incredibly fast and (one it did not expect anything else) super accurate. Thanks to the seven (!) Spot sizes (manually selectable), the camera detects the main subject and makes this sharp. Exposure is performed in the range of 30 seconds to full 1/2000 second. The bulb adjustment not (also called B) can be selected in manual mode. I can not remember my keyboard smokes already ;-) I recommend to all dedicated amateur photographers this splendid specimen and place them especially the book »Photo Guide Canon EOS 300V" by Günter Richter warmly.
