After using a silver EOS 1000 and a set of objectives, I used an EOS 450D, and earlier this year I made it a pleasure: an EOS 500D and 18-200mm IS lens, which I can use my goals EOS 1000, I am satisfied. With it, you can shoot movies with sound, and aim on the screen. Photographs and color rendering are perfect. I supplemented by a Dip-Grip handle BG-E5, which doubles the energy reserve and facilitates the grip for photos in portrait format.
