The Canon EOS 1000D is a difficult camera to judge. While it does have some good qualities, including decent performance and excellent image quality, it doesn't really stand out against competing entry-level cameras from other brands. Its limited feature-set, slightly disappointing build quality and overall feeling of cheapness do it no favours, and the live view mode isn't as useful as you might hope. If it comes down in price by at least £100 then it might be a better deal, but at the moment it's not one that I'd recommend.Read full review
