This is my dream camera~ i know it sounds stupid as a dream camera, but I'm currently using my phone because i can't afford anything. Once i finally get my laptop i will hopefully have enough for the camera. I really love photography and this camera seems amazing~!
Update: 📷📷📷a dslr is no longer a dream to me. I bought a used nikon D3200 with kit lens and sigma 70-300mm lens and battery charger all for $170 from fb marketplace. Battery doesnt hold charge for long so i ordered two batteries from ebay for about $30. There are lots of people who can aford to buy the latest cameras and will sell their old for cheap. There where even cheaper cheaper cameras some as low as $70 for older dslrs 📷📷📷
I am glad to hear that you are still happy with your eos 1000d, thanks for sharing and for watching!:-) Wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
I absolutely share your sentiment on the 1000D, it was my first ever DSLR and really opened up the world of photography to me, even though I'm only a hobbyist. Bought it at the start of 2009 and used it so excessively that the shutter actually failed after around 50-60 thousand exposures. Thankfuly, Canon repaired it free of charge, and it never had any issue since then. In 2013, I bought a 650D before embarking on a longer trip, just to make sure that the camera won't fail on me at the worst possible moment. One year later, as my 1000D was just gathering dust, I lent it to a friend, who was asked to help photograph a wedding, and he of course also used it as his main camera. Maybe two weeks ago, due to me being stupidly nostalgic, I asked whether he could return it, and he did! I'm really surprised how well it held up to more than a decade of use, with the only signs of wear being very smooth and shiny plastic in places that are touched a lot, as well as the rubberized surface coming off the grip at the bottom. So yeah, it still looks good, it still works, and I still love it for what it gave me back when I bought it. Attached a mini tripod and put it on display in the living room with the 55-250 tele that was the perfect addition to the 18-55 kit lens it came with. Just a very well made little camera that even my very big hands didn't have the slightest issue with. :)
Ohh wow, thank you for sharing your story and experience! Really appreciated it and also really appreciated the time that you took into writing this comment! :-) Yeah. the Canon eos 1000d still holds very well today and will still produce great looking images. The built quality is also really good for type of camera and the fact that it still works even after so many years is a testament to how well this camera was built/design. Furthermore, this camera also gives a really nostalgic feel everything you hold and use one today. Thank you very much again for sharing your story/experience with the camera as well as for watching. I hope you have a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Was given this for free yesterday. It is second hand and has obvious wear, but it seems to work and I am excited to explore its abilities, especially being my first camera ever!
Congrats on the camera! It is still actually a very capable camera that can deliver unique results. The fact that it is only limited to just photography essentials also means that you can focus more on your story/moments that you want to capture as well. i am sure you'll produce some nice results with it. Thank you very much for watching and also for sharing, much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
The Rebel XS was my first DSLR. I got December of 2008. This is the camera that got me started in digital photography. There is some nostalgic appeal to this camera.
Yeah, it is such a nostalgic camera that still actually is more than capable of producing some really amazing looking results. Thank you very much for watching and for sharing your story/experience! Very much appreciated it. I hope you have a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
This is the DSLR that I learned digital photography on. I had borrowed one for a time and then I found a body at a thrift store for $80. Bought a film camera for $20 for its lens until I found a $20 18-55mm IS II kit lens. Used it for many years well into obsolesence, finally replaced it with a 77D so I could get video capability. Got it out today to play with it, I definitely miss some features I've gotten used to with the 77D, but it's otherwise still capable enough if one doesn't want to crop too much.
Thank you for watching and also for the comment. :-) The 1000d is still a reliable camera and will still deliver good results. I am sure you'll produce great results with it. :-) That being said, I think for similar price, the 500d or the 550d might be a better option if you shoot a lot in low light and would like to record some form of video and need a bit more accurate focusing system. Just something to consider. But the 1000d will still cover general field of photography very well. I thank you very much again for watching as well as for commenting. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
I started on the 1000D and 1000f They, are absolutely amazing still. even after going up to an R8, I always default to my 1000D when I'm exploring sites and shooting options or even new techniques.
I am glad to hear that you are still enjoying using this camera, I also still love this camera very much, it still delivers great results. :-) Thank you very much for watching as well as for sharing your story, very much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
I have been into photography for 50+ years and have had many film SLR cameras so I'm quite comfortable with manual settings. I recently bought the Canon Rebel XS (basically the same as the 1000d) for $40 cad. I couldn't be happier. It is a great little camera and I am waiting until summer to really start using it (I'm not a winter person, LOL) Great video, Thank you.
Thanks for watching and also for your kind words, really means a lot! Congrats on the camera and I am glad you are liking the camera so far. :-) You also got it for quite a good deal actually. I am sure that you’ll be able to produce really amazing images with it. Even though it is an old DSLR but it has more than enough features that with allow you do fully control the camera to they way that you want and there are also some more customisation functions that you can set to the camera as well. The form factor and the weight of it also makes it nice to travel with the camera and take more pictures with it as well. :-) I thank you very much again for watching and for sharing your story, much appreciated it. :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
I still have one. For me it's important to have a cheapo "disposable" small camera when i go to places where my camera and lens could be stolen or damaged. Vacations, beach, rain, protests and riots, dangerous places in my city, hiking, etc. Places where I feel more comfortable with a cheap small camera and not exposing pricier cameras or lenses or not carrying something bigger.
I still use my canon EOS 500 in 2022, as long as you feed it with film it can be good. I also use my 1100D that I got for cheap, I must say that while I really do like my analog cameras I do enjoy not having to feed my camera with expensive silver coated plastic foil. My favorite camera to use is probably my Konica autoreflex T3, built like a tank that thing is.
Yeah, analog cameras are nice and depending on the films you feed them, they can give you some really unique results! But of course, digital will give you that convenience and also the ability for different kind of experimentations that films can’t really deliver… But you seem to have a good balance between the system, which is good. :-) Thank you very much for watching and also for sharing your story, very much appreciated. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Hi, thank you for the compliment and for watching and yes I can make a video but it will take a while (like 3 or 4 weeks because I am currently working on a video project at the countryside where internet is not stable to upload anything:-/)
Yeah, it is still a good and reliable camera that still produces great results when use properly. :-) Thank you so much for watching as well as for sharing your story, very much appreciated it! I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
truly perfect choice , as you say from 8mp you have 4k size ,means 10 mp fit the requirement, no video mode (i heard about a 640x480 one but at least obloslete) so you concentrate yourself on the photo essentials points, as you say many nice Yongnuo lens like the 50mm f1.8 ,also live view and sd slot ,easier to manage sd slot than Cf slot, this camera fullfiled everything we really need without any gadget option , for 50 usd or 50 euro it's a very good choice ,not only to got the cheapest one camera , but to got really what you want for what you payd also this camera seems little tiny compared to some other canon eos one ,maybe eos 100d is more tiny but the 1000d is much more cheaper
It does have a higher diffraction limit than the 450d but it does not really matter that much though at the end of the day because the images look really really similar. But yeah, thank you for watching and sharing, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting:-)
Very nice and usefull tutorial! I have a question: Can you tell me please if the wide angle lens from Sigma 10-20 mm F4-5.6 Ex is compatible with this dslr Canon 1000d?
Great video! Do you happen to know if there is a way to turn off the shutter sounds at all? I know you can silence the beeb but I cannot seem to work out the shutter sound.
Hi, there is not way to turn off the shutter sound because it is a mechanical shutter (there are actual moving parts like the shutter curtain...).. So it is normal and natural that the camera would make noise when taking photos :-)
That's also my first and still only dslr 🙄😊 I loved it so much and still do. But my menu is black. Can you change it to lighter as yours or do you have another version?
Heyy, thanks for sharing!:-) It definitely is still a very nice camera to use :-) Regarding the menu colour, there is actually a colour menu to change the colour of the menu in the menu setting :-)
You're welcome! If you more questions, feel free to ask at anytime and I will do my best to answer, otherwise, have fun shooting and have a great time!!:-)
@@DavidCuhls yes. I would like to upgrade the camera soon :) i was thinking about the 6D to go full frame or the 5D mark III. I mostly want to photograph my family and friends and animals (e.g. my dog running), as well I like macro. At the moment I only have one EF lens. The 100mm 2.8 USM. Do you have any advice? :)
I think the 6d would be a better choice at this point. Sure, the 5d mark iii has faster autofocusing point, a little bit better in video, a couple of megapixels higher, a bit bigger and more autofocusing points in a nutshell~~ But the centre autofocusing point of the 6d is more accurate and can focus much better in lower light than the 5d mark iii's centre autofocusing point which can be more useful with you macro photography. The 6d is much lighter and small than the 5d mark iii which allows you to take it to more places thus capturing more images with it:-) The colour science of both cameras is the same but due to lower megapixel count, the 6d produces a tiny bit cleaner and less pixelated images than the 5d mark iii when using higher ISO. The last point is that the 6d has wifi and GPS, which can be very useful when traveling and wanting to tag your location on your images and also instantly share your images rather than wait until you are on your computer and import the images and send it to your phone... :-) Regarding the lens, I think it's nice to also have the 50mm 1.8 from Canon as it's a nice and budget prime lens that allows you to work in different scenarios yet still giving nice and sharp and that bright aperture for beautiful background blur. A zoom lens that I can recommend is the older version of the 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS USM lens. The price has dropped so much and even though the newer version is much better and sharper, but due to the older sensor of the 6d or even the 5d mark iii, the older version is still a great match for them. :-) Furthermore, the lens is also weather sealed which will allow you to shoot in harsher environment like in the rain. However, if the price is still too high, then the 24-105mm f/ 3.5-5.6 stm lens is also nice, it offers the same focal length from wide to semi telephoto length. However, it is not weather sealed and the aperture is not constant. But if you don't need weather sealing and if you shoot with higher aperture like f/5.6 and above, then this lens might be better:-) Overall, these two lenses (24-105mm range and the 50mm) are nice lenses to have first. When coming from a crop frame camera, 24mm doesn't sound that wide... but because full frame is bigger, 24mm feels like a 15mm on the crop frame camera, so it is wide :-)
How does the camera do with indoor shots? Currently using a Sony bridge 20.1mp camera, which is good outdoor, but indoor requires the flash and resulting in everything over exposed. Thinking of getting this, but I'm quite new to cameras, worried the drop in mp may be a problem? But your shots look great!
I think the camera in genera still can deliver great images in general but I do understand that if you are comparing the 20.1 mp camera it can seem that you are downgrading. I am not familiar with the sony bridge camera that you have so I cannot use it as a reference point.. But if you would like to shoot indoor with this camera, I can say that as long as if you have enough lighting indoor, then you can definitely get great results with this camera but if the lighting is not so great then using higher ISO will give you a more pixelated image (but you still can clean up a little bit in post processing if you want). I think if you don't shoot in very low light situations as well as not going to crop a lot from the image, I think that this camera would still be good. I think 10mp sounds very little because we are in the time where camera's average resolutions are between 24 - 36mp and 10 is less than half of that... But if you think about 4k videos, many people really like the resolution, but it really is only around 8mp... So I think if you don't crop/zoom in a lot and if you can deal with the low ISO range compare to today's standards, then I think that it would be a great cheap little camera to have :-) If you already have some canon lenses laying around, then this camera is only about 40-70$/euros or get a secondhand set for about 150$/euros... :-)
This camera does not have any native video feature... If you want a camera that can take decent videos for the budget then maybe look at the Canon eos 100d, Canon eos m50, Canon eos m5, Canon eos m100. If you don't need autofocus in video, then the Canon eos 600d, Canon eos m3. They are all very affordable second hand options that will take good videos. :-)
If you have already installed the EOS Utility 2 software, then all you have to do is connect the camera to your computer (works for both Mac and PC), make sure that the camera is on and the SD card inside the camera is not set to "protect" so that the computer can access the card. Then depending on the settings that you've set while installing the software, the EOS Utility 2 might pop up automatically, if not, then just manually open. Once it's open, depending on how many images you have on your camera, it will take time before the selection menus will be available to click (will be greyed out for a short moment). But if the software shows no sign of recognising the camera at what so ever, then it is the problem of the mini USB cable not having enough power for data transfer which is a common problem, which is why you can't just use any mini USB cable. Hope that helps somewhat, hope you have a nice day and have fun shooting:-)
This camera was a birthday gift when I was around 15! That’s already a decade ago. I’m trying to use it again as I’m feeling nostalgic about it too ☺️. Can you please share again what were your recommended lenses for this camera? 15mm and..?
Thanks for sharing your story! Regarding your questions, I don't think I was recommending any lenses in the video though... But it really depends on what you need to shoot with this camera. I would recommend the ef 50mm 1.8, ef-s 17-55mm 2.8 (if you need an all-in-one lens that still produces sharp results, let in a lot of light into the camera and has great contrast to it.. a little pricey but worth it if you only want one lens for everything on a cropped sensor camera like the 1000d). :-) Then I would recommend getting the ef 40mm STM, the ef-s 24mm STM and the ef-s 10-18mm STM lens. You don't need to get all of these lenses because that would be over killing it as well as more than you would generally need with this camera (I think)... haha.. But just to give you a general idea of what you can look at and determine for yourself of which option you think might be a good option for you base on what you shoot/plan to shoot... :-) Sorry again for the late reply but I hope that helps somewhat. :-) Otherwise, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
hi, great video, I bought the camera now because I want to start taking pictures, and it seemed like the right choice at first. Is he still taking quality photos for Instagram in 2023? sorry for my english😅
Hi, budget lenses that I would recommend for this camera would be the ef-s 24mm stm, ef 50mm 1.8, ef-s 10-18mm.. All very affordable and in most cases can get it very cheap second hand as well.. But they are very sharp lenses and have nice contrast controls to them :-)
Thank you! And if you have anything other questions feel free to ask me at anytime and I will do my best to respond or if you have want to share your experience/stories, feel free as well! :-) Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
Thank you for review. I have been offered this camera second hand as an entry level camera for beginners such as me and your review has given me the confidence to go ahead and purchase!
This camera cannot record video... There used to be some hack where you could connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable and then just use a third party software to actually record what the camera is seeing. However, that is not very practical and I am not sure if the option is still available...
There is an SD card that allows you to transfer the images wirelessly to your device that you connect to it. You can search for eyefi SD cards or wifi SD cards
@@DavidCuhls In the book about the Canon EOS rebel XS/1000D - digital field guide...to reset the camera to the default settings, just press the Menu button, press the right cross key to select the Set-up 3??? But where are the CROSS KEYS?
If by "reset the camera to the default setting" you mean factory reset the camera then: Switch to M mode then - press menu - menu second from right - clear settings - clear all camera settings I hope this helps
I am glad that you found the video informative. :-) Regarding your question, in my opinion, this camera definitely can deliver more than good enough quality for instagram. It is really a matter of how you set the camera, your editing process and so on... But the camera itself has the more than enough capability to deliver for sure :-) Hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
Congratulation on getting the camera, regarding your question, the camera does not have internal storage, so you will need to purchase an SD card in order to store taken images. :-) Hope that helps, hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
I think a good portrait lens for this camera might the ef 50mm 1.8 STM and the 35mm f2.0. :-) They are very affordable, light and deliver great results! Hope that helps, thank you very much for watching and congrats on planning to get it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
For the sample images I was using the ef-s 10-18mm STM, ef 50mm 1.8 and the ef 35mm 1.4 USM L. I hope that helps. :-) Thank you very much for watching, i wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! 😊😊
Its still worth it in 2024 as it has a 10 mp sensor and I consider a 8 mp sensor the smallest useable one I recently got one great condition from a pawn shop and it cost me less than what I spent on a brand new compact camera that has an 8 mp sensor and has an iso Setting of up to 1600 which is good for a compact camera So it is a very good choice if you just want to dabble in DSLR photography or are just starting off And don't want to spend a lot of money on a usable DSLR camera
You mentioned the metering but actually spot metering is missing. So it’s less than what modern cameras offer. I bought this camera because your video made me curious and I had the 1100D as my first DSLR but this is cheaper now ;) I love the side memory card door and the ISO button. The image quality is in RAW quite stellar to my surprise ! I have the feeling that all the higher megapixel cameras except the 20, 24 and 32 megapixel ones, only introduce more noise at base ISO and don’t have real advantages. I had the 1100D, EOS M, 100D and the 50D (12 mp,18mp, and 15mp) and they seem not be really better, actually the EOS and 100D photos look worse! The 20 mp class brought a change IMHO
Hi, thank you for correcting me and also for sharing:-) Much appreciated. I always use evaluative metering on all of my cameras, so I totally forgot about the spot metering, sorry about that. I can agree that that some of the higher megapixels cameras from canon have introduced higher noise in the base iso. I only experience this with my 7d but even then, the noise is still cleaner than my 1000d at the base iso... I never own the other cameras that you've mentioned though so I can't say much about them but thank you for sharing:-) But I do think that noise isn't really everything because if those cameras can get you the shot, then it will get the shot :-) But thank you for sharing again and have fun shooting!:-)
Im thinking if im gonna buy this one.. if i do this is my only and 1st dslr.. what can you say about the photo quality?.. can you tell me whats the pros and cons if i buy canon 1000d thankyou so much.
I think that the image quality is definitely alright even if you are planing to edit with the files from the camera... though it might not be as smart as a modern smart to pick which mode to set itself to achieve the best image quality whereas the modern smart is a smarter chip inside to decide a better auto settings for you.... Other cons would also be the dynamic range might not be as good as the more modern high end smartphones as well... the autofocus can be slow in low light compare to smart phones as well... but the pros is you can change lenses to get new and different perspectives that will surely please you (if you also invest in lenses). For a small dslr, if used properly you can get some really amazing results ☺️☺️ (there are also sooo many good but cheap second hand lenses that you can buy as well that you give you different perspectives and effects...) and this camera will allow you to learn the fundamental of photography from the technical side which will help you to creat the images that you want one the long run ☺️☺️
hi i just watched your video after searching on youtube about a cannon 1000d.It was the best video i've seen about the camera.It's the wifes camera she purchased it a number of years back i dont know when it came as deal with the body and two lenses a 18-55mm and 55-250mm with a bag.Recently i retired and got camera out and manual is missing so im working in the dark.We are in lockdown in melbourne australia at the moment so my question is if you can help me i would appreciate. I needed a new sd card without the manual it makes it hard to work out what size to buy,so i brought a lexar 16gb professional sdhc uhs1 663x95mb/s which i have no idea if thats the right card.Question two you mentioned about a wifi sd card what size card do you recommend and that goes about to the first question as well and what brand. Example a toshiba flashair 16gb sdhc/sdxc which i dont think its the right card is $143.09 delivered then the next size up is a ez share 32 sdhc class 10 $46.00.I don't think this camera can take a 32gb card.Cheers Gary
Hi Gary, I am very sorry for such a late reply, I've been very busy lately... Regarding your question, this camera is definitely capable of taking cards with higher capacity than 32gb, so you don't need to worry about that. That being said, this camera produces relatively small files anyway, so getting something lower than 128gb will do it (or just get many small capacity cards, so incase you lose a card or two, you won't be loosing a lot of images). Regarding card type, I think the normal SDHC cards with any class from class 4 and above will do the job. This camera does not shoot very fast and the files are small and a lot of these SD cards are also very affordable nowadays (I remember back in the days when this camera was still new in the market, even an 8gb SD card (class 4) for this camera was already super expensive). Regarding the wifi card, I am not sure about the possibilities of options as it seems like there are different brands and variation of wifi SD cards available in different countries. But I would go with the Toshiba because that was the one that was recommending to many people and this brand seems to be available in many countries as well... But if it's too expensive, then you can choose other brands and options as well (I am not sure why it is so expensive there...) but just read the reviews. Again, the speed of the SD card does not need to be super high for this camera as the files are not large. So if you can find the lower class but still above class 4 cards, you can save a bit of money and it would still work! I hope that helps, I am sorry again for such a late reply... I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! David :-)
It really depends on what kind of look you are going for and your budget really... I think if you are looking for a nice standard focal length lens that is really good but also cheap, I'd recommend the Canon ef 50mm f/1.8 STM but if you are looking for more of an intimate look for a budget, then I'd recommend the Yongnuo 35mm f/2.0. They are both very affordable, lets in a lot of light, creates nice background blur and give you really nice and unique look actually. :-)
In my opinion, the 450d is better because it is better in lowlight, gives more control options, cleaner images with slightly more megapixels. Better screen to judge the images, more autofocusing points and slightly better built quality. So on the long run, I think that the 450d is a better choice and since they cost almost the same, might as well just go for the slightly better option. :-) Hope that somewhat helps, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting :-)
If you mean the buffer, I think the camera's buffer is big enough to capture majority of fields but it only has 3 frames per second. But if you mean the shutter life, then every camera including this camera has a shutter.. but it will be a while until you can out-run it:-)
I think for the long term investment, the 1100d might be better because it will be able to take pictures in lower lighting condition, the colour reproduction of is also smoother as well. Furthermore, if you would like to shoot videos, the 1100d has a video feature and the 1000d does not have a video feature. These are general differences that made me think the 1100d might be a better investment for the long run. :-) I hope that helps, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Congrats on the new camera!:-) have fun with it and thank you for watching and for sharing. If you have any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
Love mine handy size makes it fantastic for shooting on the fly. I've seen some amazing shots done with it by my freind whos a pro he also has one he keeps in the glove box just in case. Great first Slr and very capable in the right hands. Great watch thanks.
Yeah, it is indeed a great DSLR and is still capable of many professional work actually. Thanks for watching and for sharing. Have a great time and have fun shooting:-)
Hi, I think it's not about the version of the camera and certainly not a broken camera (assuming that you still can take pictures with the camera)... I think that when you got it used, might have have been reset by the previous owner and by default, these cameras have the live-view function switched off. You will need to go into the menu and find the live-view function and then enable that function. Once it is enable, go back to the home screen and press the 'set' button. Then you should be in the live-view. If this is not the case, please let me know about your situation in detail and I will do my best to fix it. :-)
I am glad it worked and you're welcome!:-) If you have anything other questions, always feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer:-) Have fun shooting man:-)
I would say that this camera is still pretty good for beginners, though at this point in time, for a very similar amount of money, I'd say something like the 550D or the 600D would be a better model to go for just for that extra quality and reliability. That said, this camera will still allow you to learn all the settings that you need to know about photography. It may not be the best camera in the world but it is still able to produce great quality images once you master how to manually control the camera. :-) Hope that helps, I thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
You could try checking the canon eos 1100d, nikon d5000. They are generally around the same price range (depending on where you live). Furthermore, both of those cameras will offer video mode as well whereas the 1000d does not :-)
I just got my new 1000d camera and learning the manual mode so that i can shoot freely but why does it shoot very dark even if I'm not on a very dark place? Hope you'll notice me and God bless🙂
HI, unfortunately it does not have any video feature, the camera came out during the time when higher end cameras had standard video features. However, there are some hacks you can do to get the camera to record videos. However, you won't get any sound because there is no internal microphones. That being said, within similar price range, you can get other DSLRs or older mirrorless cameras that offers video capability as well. :-)
The 1000d cannot take video unless you connect the camera to the computer and hack it to record the live-view... Maybe you saw the videos from the 100d that can take very good video... But the 1000d cannot take video natively from the camera...
I think that they are very different. The iphone 12 pro max will have the advantage of computing photography where it will be able to combine images instantly to create a higher dynamic looking image thus using faster shutter speed. The images from iPhone 12 Pro Max will also deliver a much more pleasant looking images straight from the camera. However, the 1000d will give you the possibility to change lenses to change your perspective without loosing any resolution and details. The 1000d will also have a better RAW file if you want to edit adjust your images quite heavily somewhere later on in you photography path. With the ability to change lenses, you are also able to mount lenses that allows more light entering the sensor thus giving a more natural blurry background than what any smart phone can achieve as well as better in low light with those lenses. Lastly, the 1000d will allow you to have a complete manual control of your camera so that the you can achieve the precise image that you are after. So at the end, it depends on your priorities will determine which camera will produce better looking images for you needs. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Yeah, the 1000d can be found for around 50 euros nowadays. That being said, if you do order it, make sure to invest in nice lenses later because the camera sees the lenses, so a lot of time soft blurry images are produced because of the lens rather than the camera. But the 1000d will definitely help to teach you a lot about the mechanism in photography as well as some of the core rules. :-) I am glad to hear that you are getting into photography too and I wish you all the best with it. I am sure you'll be able to produce nice results! :-)
I used the Ef-s 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6, ef 50mm f/1.8 STM, Ef 35mm f/1.4 L USM, ef 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM, ef 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM... I realised some of the lenses are expensive but I mainly shoot with full frame cameras for my photography/filmmaking jobs and to me it didn’t made that much sense to look for cheaper lenses just to fit on the 1000d when I have some lenses already from my professional setup. That being said, most of the photos shown in the video were taken with the cheaper ef-s 10-18mm, ef 50mm f/1.8 STM and the ef 35mm f/1.4 L USM lens :-)
If you are looking for a budget DSLR option and don't care about video, then I think that this camera is good and I recommend it. However, I think you could save up a bit more and look at something like the 1100d, 1200d and 100d. They all are around similar price range and better in lowlight as well as can shoot video. They also have more features and the image quality is also much better as well. Hope that helps, if you have more questions, feel free to ask me at any time and I will do my best to respond. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting:-)
I am going to buy one dslr camera. I haven’t used any dslr before. Is 1000d is good for me. Or if i will buy 1000d body which lens should i buy for it?
I personally think that this camera is still a good camera if your concern is getting good images but you don't shoot too much in low light. If you still want to get this camera, I think the best and first lens to start with is either the kit lens (18-55mm lens, the image quality is not great but it will teach you the basics and will give you okay results but it will give you the basic focal length that you will need to get started with DSLR). The other lens I recommend is the 50mm 1.8, it is a cheap lens that gives you really good images and nice blurry background. Furthermore, it allows in a lot of light into the camera, which means that you can take nicer pictures in the dark with this lens. However, the down side is that the lens is a little bit too tight and you don't have the flexibility to zoom. A third lens that I could recommend is the canon 10-18mm, it is an ultra wide to wide angle zoom lens but it is also affordable and has good sharpness and contrast control. If you would like to know how this camera performs, I've created a video shooting with this camera here: th-cam.com/video/32UMnCuvEAA/w-d-xo.html If you have more questions, feel free to ask at anytime. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting! Thanks for watching!:-)
I got this just yesterday secondhand. It comes with the kit lens and 70-300mm lens. I'm planning on using this outdoors in daylight and in the night. I'd stay on auto most, but the kit lens AF seems damaged (it only refocuses one way). I'm looking for other lens (like 18-135mm) but I'm not yet decided as the lens cost more than the price I bought the package for. Any recommendations will do for beginners like me. Also, watched that other video and you took epic shots! You got a new subscriber here. 🙇🏽♂️
Hi just saw this video, I found a 1000d for very cheap 180 euro. Do you think its worth it for me to purchase it. I want to use it to take photos of models for my business, I sell hair products and head wear? Please reply
Hi, I think that the camera is still worth but but a 180 euros is not worth the money unless if the camera already comes with a lens and some other essential accessories. Otherwise try looking at the canon eos 1100d, canon eos 500d, canon eos 100d and canon eos 1200D.
David Cuhls sorry David have another question found a 100D for a reasonable price but it's just the body no kit. Do you think I should buy a kit lens or 50 mm. I'm only a beginner so I don't know too much
If you are mainly going to be focusing model, then I'd recommend the 50mm 1.8, the 35mm 2.0 (or the 24mm STM if the 35mm is a little over budget), hope that helps :-)
Hi, I recently got it as a graduation gift from my aunt. Does this camera can be connected to a mobile device? If not then how do you transfer photos to mobile phone without removing the sd card? Thank you 💕
Hi, congratulations on your graduation! ☺️ regarding your question, this camera does not have the ability to wirelessly connect the camera to the smartphones, it’s simply is too old for that, unfortunately... But there is a WiFi SD card that you can cheaply get nowadays and you can set it up that it transfers images to your smartphones automatically after taking the photos☺️
This really depends on where you live, but where I live, there are two major brands that makes them, the first one is Toshiba (just search for Toshiba THN FlashAir SD card) and the second one is Gudoqi (just search for Gudoqi wireless wifi SD card). But if where you live don't have any of these brands just search for wireless (or wifi) SD cards. :-)
I remember that it was actually possible to have it has a webcam when it was first released... But with the camera being technically outdated now and with newer generation of operating system out since, I am not sure if there is still any software that would still support the camera as a webcam...
Yes, this camera is very accessible in many second markets for a really low price nowadays, so it is very easy for you to get this camera nowadays. :-) Thank you for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
The “SET” button allows you to enter the live-view feature of the camera. But if after pressing it and it still wouldn’t get into the live-view mode, then you have to enable the function in the menu settings. :-)
Sorry to hear about your 1d... I think that paired with a nice lens, you can really get some really nice astrophotography shots with this camera. Furthermore, the live-view system will help you to frame your Astro shots as well. I think that if you are not doing a lot of action nor a lot of super lowlight, this camera is still really good budget option to really go for:-)
@@DavidCuhls update: Saving up for a 5d2 ! ( Not sure if the 1D can be repaired) ,I'll go one trip with my phone camera 📸,5d2's are getting cheaper now days
I think that's a much better choice, the 5d mark ii will be much better in low light condition as well as giving (in my opinion) nicer colour production and dynamic range for what you want to do. Hope you are enjoying your trip and have fun shooting! :-)
Ok, I’m confuse now. I want to give to my wife one of this cameras. But the info says the camera has a 10.1MP, and her phone has 16MP. Is it for real? I mean, the camera of a smartphone can really be better?
I think if you just purely judge a cameras based on the number of megapixels that they have, then sure, many smart phones will be better. But smartphone sensors are smaller thus, the light gathering per pixels is less, giving your less performance in low light. Furthermore, smaller sensors also means you cannot naturally blur the backgrounds as nice as you can with DSLR cameras. Adding on, you can add different high quality lenses to DSLRs to give high quality different perspective to the images you are capturing. Not to mention the colour science, colour reproduction, skin tones of each camera sensors that also matters... DSLR cameras will also generally give you more manual controls than smartphone cameras and also better and more robust files to edit should you want/need to. Also, when you say “one of these cameras”, it also depends which model of “one of these cameras” you are looking for. You can find more features cameras with high resolutions as well. You can easily go for 24mp, 30mp, 50mp, 100mp models as well. If the number of mega pixels matters that you will always have the option to upgrade to a higher megapixel count. But if you are not ready to take controls of any of the features and prefer the camera to decide a lot of things, then maybe the smart phone might be a better camera to use at the end of the day...(?). But that’s just what I think..
Thank you so much for watching and I am glad that you found it helpful!:-) I am really happy:-) If you have any questions, feel free to just ask any time. Otherwise, I wish you a great time shooting:-)
If you mean no recent firmwares, then yes, the camera has been discontinued for a very long time now. Even if you want the latest firmware for the camera, you might have to manually select the operating system that the firmware was available for in the time period... If you are using more modern operating system, the website will not show any firmware at all simply because there are no firmwares for the 1000d made during the time period of more modern operating system to be compatible with... Hope that helps somewhat~~ I thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Yeah.. haha~~ Most of my videos are 1 take... If I make a mistake, I'd have to start over again. This is because I don't write scripts for my videos as I know I will sound even more unnatural when talking in front of the camera if I were to read from a prepared script... Also, I just prefer saying what I actually think about the camera (or other equipments that I am talking about) on the spot... This "method" also allowed me to be more honest I feel...(?) Not sure how to explain but I hope you get the idea. I am sorry if the one shot didn't go as smoothly as scripted videos... I am doing my best to improve it.... Thank you so much for watching though. :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
yeah, I really understand the situation being a foreign university student myself. That being said, there are so many affordable cameras and if you don't mind, even more second options out there that are still very very good and will deliver you amazing results at the end of the day! :-)
I got mine for 50 euros (as mentioned in the video). That being said, you can get it much cheaper or just a little bit more expensive depending on where you live (also as mentioned in the video) :-) Hope you have a nice day and have fun shooting:-)
Haha yes, most of the images shown in this video where taken in Rotterdam :-) Glad you recognised it! Thank you very much for watching, hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls I was born in Rotterdam :) Thank you for uploading the vid and giving some love to the canon eos 1000d. Purchased this camera ages ago for my studies as an art teacher and felt like it became outdated. You inspired me to start using it again!
"Takes ok images time to time" dude...the Rebel XS paired with a good Royce lens.....only ONLY 1 or .5 */* of humans would notice nor CARE. Sorry to burst all you photo snobs bit anything from rebel eos up pretty much owns all cellphone cameras....
I do beliefe that this camera can still take great images and I have done some videos about my light photography with this camera. However, when I do say “takes ok images from time to time” it really refers to the technical side of this camera when compare to more modern rebel cameras to date or even other low end entry level cameras. Can the 1000d still take great images? I would say absolutely but I also have to be realistic when comparing it to more modern cameras when it comes to the technical side of the images. But of course, the creative side of the images does depend on the photographer, not the camera. Thank you for watching and for sharing your comment, much appreciated it. Have a nice day and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls I understand that but dude...the way I said that is silly....like your comi g off casual but now your saying basically, this is high detail very professional spec shit review.....this video did not have that vobe bro... And everyone knows photo snobs are BSers when it comes to the adv. Human ...like 99÷ of humanity can NOT tell the difference from a rebel XS from ,2013 vs a brand new 2020 camera in a photo that's 1080.......
This is my dream camera~ i know it sounds stupid as a dream camera, but I'm currently using my phone because i can't afford anything. Once i finally get my laptop i will hopefully have enough for the camera. I really love photography and this camera seems amazing~!
My dream Camera too (;
Don’t worry same here 😂😂
Any DSLR is a dream camera to me too.
Same situation here!! It s not stupid :) I hope you got it!
Update: 📷📷📷a dslr is no longer a dream to me. I bought a used nikon D3200 with kit lens and sigma 70-300mm lens and battery charger all for $170 from fb marketplace. Battery doesnt hold charge for long so i ordered two batteries from ebay for about $30. There are lots of people who can aford to buy the latest cameras and will sell their old for cheap. There where even cheaper cheaper cameras some as low as $70 for older dslrs 📷📷📷
I bought mine new in 2010 and still use it to this day. Never saw any reason to replace it was the first and may by my only DSLR very happy with it.
I am glad to hear that you are still happy with your eos 1000d, thanks for sharing and for watching!:-) Wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
Hey im a beginner. Can you recomend it to me ? Like does it shoot good bokeh effect?
mine also bought around that time but too many issues now. need to replace it. buttons are faulty already
I absolutely share your sentiment on the 1000D, it was my first ever DSLR and really opened up the world of photography to me, even though I'm only a hobbyist. Bought it at the start of 2009 and used it so excessively that the shutter actually failed after around 50-60 thousand exposures. Thankfuly, Canon repaired it free of charge, and it never had any issue since then. In 2013, I bought a 650D before embarking on a longer trip, just to make sure that the camera won't fail on me at the worst possible moment.
One year later, as my 1000D was just gathering dust, I lent it to a friend, who was asked to help photograph a wedding, and he of course also used it as his main camera. Maybe two weeks ago, due to me being stupidly nostalgic, I asked whether he could return it, and he did! I'm really surprised how well it held up to more than a decade of use, with the only signs of wear being very smooth and shiny plastic in places that are touched a lot, as well as the rubberized surface coming off the grip at the bottom.
So yeah, it still looks good, it still works, and I still love it for what it gave me back when I bought it. Attached a mini tripod and put it on display in the living room with the 55-250 tele that was the perfect addition to the 18-55 kit lens it came with. Just a very well made little camera that even my very big hands didn't have the slightest issue with. :)
Ohh wow, thank you for sharing your story and experience! Really appreciated it and also really appreciated the time that you took into writing this comment! :-)
Yeah. the Canon eos 1000d still holds very well today and will still produce great looking images. The built quality is also really good for type of camera and the fact that it still works even after so many years is a testament to how well this camera was built/design. Furthermore, this camera also gives a really nostalgic feel everything you hold and use one today.
Thank you very much again for sharing your story/experience with the camera as well as for watching. I hope you have a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Was given this for free yesterday. It is second hand and has obvious wear, but it seems to work and I am excited to explore its abilities, especially being my first camera ever!
Congrats on the camera! It is still actually a very capable camera that can deliver unique results. The fact that it is only limited to just photography essentials also means that you can focus more on your story/moments that you want to capture as well. i am sure you'll produce some nice results with it. Thank you very much for watching and also for sharing, much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
The Rebel XS was my first DSLR. I got December of 2008. This is the camera that got me started in digital photography. There is some nostalgic appeal to this camera.
Yeah, it is such a nostalgic camera that still actually is more than capable of producing some really amazing looking results. Thank you very much for watching and for sharing your story/experience! Very much appreciated it. I hope you have a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
This is the DSLR that I learned digital photography on. I had borrowed one for a time and then I found a body at a thrift store for $80. Bought a film camera for $20 for its lens until I found a $20 18-55mm IS II kit lens. Used it for many years well into obsolesence, finally replaced it with a 77D so I could get video capability.
Got it out today to play with it, I definitely miss some features I've gotten used to with the 77D, but it's otherwise still capable enough if one doesn't want to crop too much.
Thanks for the review,am thinking getting one of these for my first camera…😊
Thank you for watching and also for the comment. :-) The 1000d is still a reliable camera and will still deliver good results. I am sure you'll produce great results with it. :-) That being said, I think for similar price, the 500d or the 550d might be a better option if you shoot a lot in low light and would like to record some form of video and need a bit more accurate focusing system. Just something to consider. But the 1000d will still cover general field of photography very well.
I thank you very much again for watching as well as for commenting. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
True I have one and I am still enjoying taking nice pics with it. Good news.
It is indeed still a great camera, thanks for sharing and also for watching. Have fun shooting! :-)
Hi I just bought one but when I try to see the photos it says 'no card' what do I do?!
I started on the 1000D and 1000f They, are absolutely amazing still. even after going up to an R8, I always default to my 1000D when I'm exploring sites and shooting options or even new techniques.
I just switched to a 7D, My new cam has so many features but the 1000D definetly brought me into photography and gave allot of good memories..
This is my first and favorite camera among all others that I have, I paired it with a SIGMA Zoom lens and up until now still works like magic!
I am glad to hear that you are still enjoying using this camera, I also still love this camera very much, it still delivers great results. :-) Thank you very much for watching as well as for sharing your story, very much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Got this cam for $250. Seems like a lot, but I was given the 18-55 kit lens, the 55-250 zoom, 3 batteries and charger. Really sweet deal
I bought a second one yesterday! This video will help me!
Thank you for sharing and I am glad that the video helps you, that makes me happy! :-) Congrats on your camera by the way! :-)
I have been into photography for 50+ years and have had many film SLR cameras so I'm quite comfortable with manual settings. I recently bought the Canon Rebel XS (basically the same as the 1000d) for $40 cad. I couldn't be happier. It is a great little camera and I am waiting until summer to really start using it (I'm not a winter person, LOL) Great video, Thank you.
Thanks for watching and also for your kind words, really means a lot! Congrats on the camera and I am glad you are liking the camera so far. :-) You also got it for quite a good deal actually. I am sure that you’ll be able to produce really amazing images with it. Even though it is an old DSLR but it has more than enough features that with allow you do fully control the camera to they way that you want and there are also some more customisation functions that you can set to the camera as well. The form factor and the weight of it also makes it nice to travel with the camera and take more pictures with it as well. :-)
I thank you very much again for watching and for sharing your story, much appreciated it. :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
I still have one. For me it's important to have a cheapo "disposable" small camera when i go to places where my camera and lens could be stolen or damaged. Vacations, beach, rain, protests and riots, dangerous places in my city, hiking, etc. Places where I feel more comfortable with a cheap small camera and not exposing pricier cameras or lenses or not carrying something bigger.
I still use my canon EOS 500 in 2022, as long as you feed it with film it can be good. I also use my 1100D that I got for cheap, I must say that while I really do like my analog cameras I do enjoy not having to feed my camera with expensive silver coated plastic foil.
My favorite camera to use is probably my Konica autoreflex T3, built like a tank that thing is.
Yeah, analog cameras are nice and depending on the films you feed them, they can give you some really unique results! But of course, digital will give you that convenience and also the ability for different kind of experimentations that films can’t really deliver… But you seem to have a good balance between the system, which is good. :-) Thank you very much for watching and also for sharing your story, very much appreciated. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Quite informative. Could you do a video on the best lenses for that camera? - for those who don’t like to use the stock lens.
Hi, thank you for the compliment and for watching and yes I can make a video but it will take a while (like 3 or 4 weeks because I am currently working on a video project at the countryside where internet is not stable to upload anything:-/)
It is the only DSLR Camera i ever bought. Still using it. Works fine with my Microscope and the Eos Software.
Yeah, it is still a good and reliable camera that still produces great results when use properly. :-) Thank you so much for watching as well as for sharing your story, very much appreciated it! I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

same!!
@@DavidCuhls you too
It feels like you actually enjoyed talking about this camera
I still wanna buy 1000D 😊
truly perfect choice , as you say from 8mp you have 4k size ,means 10 mp fit the requirement, no video mode (i heard about a 640x480 one but at least obloslete) so you concentrate yourself on the photo essentials points, as you say many nice Yongnuo lens like the 50mm f1.8 ,also live view and sd slot ,easier to manage sd slot than Cf slot, this camera fullfiled everything we really need without any gadget option , for 50 usd or 50 euro it's a very good choice ,not only to got the cheapest one camera , but to got really what you want for
what you payd also this camera seems little tiny compared to some other canon eos one ,maybe eos 100d is more tiny but the 1000d is much more cheaper
I miss doing photography was using 550d 8yrs ago, i found a cheap 1000d and wanted to get back at this hobby again.
You can always get back, it’s a fun hobby that allows you to express yourself ☺️

You're welcome! And if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me at any time, otherwise I wish you a great time and have fun shooting:-)
@@DavidCuhls That's very kind! Thanks a lot for everything!:)
Great video! Do you happen to know if there is a way to turn off the shutter sounds at all? I know you can silence the beeb but I cannot seem to work out the shutter sound.
Hi, there is not way to turn off the shutter sound because it is a mechanical shutter (there are actual moving parts like the shutter curtain...).. So it is normal and natural that the camera would make noise when taking photos :-)
That's also my first and still only dslr 🙄😊 I loved it so much and still do. But my menu is black. Can you change it to lighter as yours or do you have another version?
Heyy, thanks for sharing!:-) It definitely is still a very nice camera to use :-) Regarding the menu colour, there is actually a colour menu to change the colour of the menu in the menu setting :-)
@@DavidCuhls thank you :)
You're welcome! If you more questions, feel free to ask at anytime and I will do my best to answer, otherwise, have fun shooting and have a great time!!:-)
@@DavidCuhls yes. I would like to upgrade the camera soon :) i was thinking about the 6D to go full frame or the 5D mark III. I mostly want to photograph my family and friends and animals (e.g. my dog running), as well I like macro. At the moment I only have one EF lens. The 100mm 2.8 USM. Do you have any advice? :)
I think the 6d would be a better choice at this point. Sure, the 5d mark iii has faster autofocusing point, a little bit better in video, a couple of megapixels higher, a bit bigger and more autofocusing points in a nutshell~~ But the centre autofocusing point of the 6d is more accurate and can focus much better in lower light than the 5d mark iii's centre autofocusing point which can be more useful with you macro photography. The 6d is much lighter and small than the 5d mark iii which allows you to take it to more places thus capturing more images with it:-) The colour science of both cameras is the same but due to lower megapixel count, the 6d produces a tiny bit cleaner and less pixelated images than the 5d mark iii when using higher ISO. The last point is that the 6d has wifi and GPS, which can be very useful when traveling and wanting to tag your location on your images and also instantly share your images rather than wait until you are on your computer and import the images and send it to your phone... :-)
Regarding the lens, I think it's nice to also have the 50mm 1.8 from Canon as it's a nice and budget prime lens that allows you to work in different scenarios yet still giving nice and sharp and that bright aperture for beautiful background blur. A zoom lens that I can recommend is the older version of the 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS USM lens. The price has dropped so much and even though the newer version is much better and sharper, but due to the older sensor of the 6d or even the 5d mark iii, the older version is still a great match for them. :-) Furthermore, the lens is also weather sealed which will allow you to shoot in harsher environment like in the rain. However, if the price is still too high, then the 24-105mm f/ 3.5-5.6 stm lens is also nice, it offers the same focal length from wide to semi telephoto length. However, it is not weather sealed and the aperture is not constant. But if you don't need weather sealing and if you shoot with higher aperture like f/5.6 and above, then this lens might be better:-) Overall, these two lenses (24-105mm range and the 50mm) are nice lenses to have first.
When coming from a crop frame camera, 24mm doesn't sound that wide... but because full frame is bigger, 24mm feels like a 15mm on the crop frame camera, so it is wide :-)
thanks for the video, might I know which len you are using for this camera in this video? thanks
Hi, thanks for watching, the lens that I was using on the camera was the Canon ef 50mm f/1.8 STM lens :-)
@@DavidCuhls thanks alot.
No problem:-) If you have any other questions, feel free to ask at any time:-)
How does the camera do with indoor shots? Currently using a Sony bridge 20.1mp camera, which is good outdoor, but indoor requires the flash and resulting in everything over exposed. Thinking of getting this, but I'm quite new to cameras, worried the drop in mp may be a problem? But your shots look great!
I think the camera in genera still can deliver great images in general but I do understand that if you are comparing the 20.1 mp camera it can seem that you are downgrading. I am not familiar with the sony bridge camera that you have so I cannot use it as a reference point.. But if you would like to shoot indoor with this camera, I can say that as long as if you have enough lighting indoor, then you can definitely get great results with this camera but if the lighting is not so great then using higher ISO will give you a more pixelated image (but you still can clean up a little bit in post processing if you want). I think if you don't shoot in very low light situations as well as not going to crop a lot from the image, I think that this camera would still be good. I think 10mp sounds very little because we are in the time where camera's average resolutions are between 24 - 36mp and 10 is less than half of that... But if you think about 4k videos, many people really like the resolution, but it really is only around 8mp... So I think if you don't crop/zoom in a lot and if you can deal with the low ISO range compare to today's standards, then I think that it would be a great cheap little camera to have :-) If you already have some canon lenses laying around, then this camera is only about 40-70$/euros or get a secondhand set for about 150$/euros... :-)
Can I ask this I don't know anything about camera's so I wanted to know if does it take perfect videos? Maybe if u wanna shoot a music video?
This camera does not have any native video feature... If you want a camera that can take decent videos for the budget then maybe look at the Canon eos 100d, Canon eos m50, Canon eos m5, Canon eos m100. If you don't need autofocus in video, then the Canon eos 600d, Canon eos m3. They are all very affordable second hand options that will take good videos. :-)
Can someone please tell me how to transfer photos from the camera to a pc with usb? i got the programm but it doesnt connect
If you have already installed the EOS Utility 2 software, then all you have to do is connect the camera to your computer (works for both Mac and PC), make sure that the camera is on and the SD card inside the camera is not set to "protect" so that the computer can access the card. Then depending on the settings that you've set while installing the software, the EOS Utility 2 might pop up automatically, if not, then just manually open. Once it's open, depending on how many images you have on your camera, it will take time before the selection menus will be available to click (will be greyed out for a short moment). But if the software shows no sign of recognising the camera at what so ever, then it is the problem of the mini USB cable not having enough power for data transfer which is a common problem, which is why you can't just use any mini USB cable. Hope that helps somewhat, hope you have a nice day and have fun shooting:-)
This camera was a birthday gift when I was around 15! That’s already a decade ago. I’m trying to use it again as I’m feeling nostalgic about it too ☺️. Can you please share again what were your recommended lenses for this camera? 15mm and..?
Thanks for sharing your story! Regarding your questions, I don't think I was recommending any lenses in the video though... But it really depends on what you need to shoot with this camera. I would recommend the ef 50mm 1.8, ef-s 17-55mm 2.8 (if you need an all-in-one lens that still produces sharp results, let in a lot of light into the camera and has great contrast to it.. a little pricey but worth it if you only want one lens for everything on a cropped sensor camera like the 1000d). :-) Then I would recommend getting the ef 40mm STM, the ef-s 24mm STM and the ef-s 10-18mm STM lens. You don't need to get all of these lenses because that would be over killing it as well as more than you would generally need with this camera (I think)... haha.. But just to give you a general idea of what you can look at and determine for yourself of which option you think might be a good option for you base on what you shoot/plan to shoot... :-)
Sorry again for the late reply but I hope that helps somewhat. :-) Otherwise, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls thank you very much! Will look into them. Stay safe!
hi, great video, I bought the camera now because I want to start taking pictures, and it seemed like the right choice at first. Is he still taking quality photos for Instagram in 2023? sorry for my english😅
Yes, but youll eventually switch cameras like mine 😅
Great Vid!
Thank you! Have fun shooting :-)
Do you have any budget lens recommendation for this camera? It came into my hands and it would be nice to find some used good lens for it. Good video!
Hi, budget lenses that I would recommend for this camera would be the ef-s 24mm stm, ef 50mm 1.8, ef-s 10-18mm.. All very affordable and in most cases can get it very cheap second hand as well.. But they are very sharp lenses and have nice contrast controls to them :-)
@@DavidCuhls You rock! Thanks for the answer 😁
Thank you! And if you have anything other questions feel free to ask me at anytime and I will do my best to respond or if you have want to share your experience/stories, feel free as well! :-) Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
Thank you for review. I have been offered this camera second hand as an entry level camera for beginners such as me and your review has given me the confidence to go ahead and purchase!
Please help me how to video record on that camera canon 1000d I can't find the video recorder I hope you help me Sr. I'm from Philippines ☺️☺️
This camera cannot record video... There used to be some hack where you could connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable and then just use a third party software to actually record what the camera is seeing. However, that is not very practical and I am not sure if the option is still available...
@@DavidCuhls thank you so much Sr☺️
You're welcome and thank you for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
how do you connect that camera to wifi
There is an SD card that allows you to transfer the images wirelessly to your device that you connect to it. You can search for eyefi SD cards or wifi SD cards
Where are the 'CROSS KEYS' on the 1000d..As I'm trying to start over?
What do you mean by "cross keys"?
@@DavidCuhls In the book about the Canon EOS rebel XS/1000D - digital field guide...to reset the camera to the default settings, just press the Menu button, press the right cross key to select the Set-up 3??? But where are the CROSS KEYS?
If by "reset the camera to the default setting" you mean factory reset the camera then:
Switch to M mode then
- press menu
- menu second from right
- clear settings
- clear all camera settings
I hope this helps
Thanks for the video it was really informative, so even in 2021 does this camera produce high quality pictures for Instagram ?
I am glad that you found the video informative. :-) Regarding your question, in my opinion, this camera definitely can deliver more than good enough quality for instagram. It is really a matter of how you set the camera, your editing process and so on... But the camera itself has the more than enough capability to deliver for sure :-)
Hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
Hi I bought one but do I need to buy a card as I can't see my photos, maybe it can't store them?
Congratulation on getting the camera, regarding your question, the camera does not have internal storage, so you will need to purchase an SD card in order to store taken images. :-) Hope that helps, hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
I have found canon 450d body in good condition in €50. I haven’t used any dslr before. Am a beginer. Is it worth to buy in 2020.
I used it 1 year before i bought the fuji Pro2 .. but .. to learn this perfect to understand Manuel photography !
Planning to buy 2ndhand cam just like this canon 1000D for ur opinion what is better lense for portraits shots?
I think a good portrait lens for this camera might the ef 50mm 1.8 STM and the 35mm f2.0. :-) They are very affordable, light and deliver great results! Hope that helps, thank you very much for watching and congrats on planning to get it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
What lens are you using?
For the sample images I was using the ef-s 10-18mm STM, ef 50mm 1.8 and the ef 35mm 1.4 USM L. I hope that helps. :-) Thank you very much for watching, i wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! 😊😊
Its still worth it in 2024 as it has a 10 mp sensor and I consider a 8 mp sensor the smallest useable one I recently got one great condition from a pawn shop and it cost me less than what I spent on a brand new compact camera that has an 8 mp sensor and has an iso
Setting of up to 1600 which is good for a compact camera
So it is a very good choice if you just want to dabble in DSLR photography or are just starting off
And don't want to spend a lot of money on a usable DSLR camera
Hi can you suggest or even link a decent all-round lens that will fit this camera?
I think it really depends on what you shoot mainly. I would recommend, Ef-s24mm STM and Canon Ef-s18-135mm
I just bought one for astrofotography with my telescope :)
Congrats and have fun shooting! ☺️☺️
You mentioned the metering but actually spot metering is missing. So it’s less than what modern cameras offer. I bought this camera because your video made me curious and I had the 1100D as my first DSLR but this is cheaper now ;) I love the side memory card door and the ISO button. The image quality is in RAW quite stellar to my surprise ! I have the feeling that all the higher megapixel cameras except the 20, 24 and 32 megapixel ones, only introduce more noise at base ISO and don’t have real advantages. I had the 1100D, EOS M, 100D and the 50D (12 mp,18mp, and 15mp) and they seem not be really better, actually the EOS and 100D photos look worse! The 20 mp class brought a change IMHO
Hi, thank you for correcting me and also for sharing:-) Much appreciated. I always use evaluative metering on all of my cameras, so I totally forgot about the spot metering, sorry about that. I can agree that that some of the higher megapixels cameras from canon have introduced higher noise in the base iso. I only experience this with my 7d but even then, the noise is still cleaner than my 1000d at the base iso... I never own the other cameras that you've mentioned though so I can't say much about them but thank you for sharing:-) But I do think that noise isn't really everything because if those cameras can get you the shot, then it will get the shot :-) But thank you for sharing again and have fun shooting!:-)
Im thinking if im gonna buy this one.. if i do this is my only and 1st dslr.. what can you say about the photo quality?.. can you tell me whats the pros and cons if i buy canon 1000d thankyou so much.
I think that the image quality is definitely alright even if you are planing to edit with the files from the camera... though it might not be as smart as a modern smart to pick which mode to set itself to achieve the best image quality whereas the modern smart is a smarter chip inside to decide a better auto settings for you.... Other cons would also be the dynamic range might not be as good as the more modern high end smartphones as well... the autofocus can be slow in low light compare to smart phones as well... but the pros is you can change lenses to get new and different perspectives that will surely please you (if you also invest in lenses). For a small dslr, if used properly you can get some really amazing results ☺️☺️ (there are also sooo many good but cheap second hand lenses that you can buy as well that you give you different perspectives and effects...) and this camera will allow you to learn the fundamental of photography from the technical side which will help you to creat the images that you want one the long run ☺️☺️
hi i just watched your video after searching on youtube about a cannon 1000d.It was the best video i've seen about the camera.It's the wifes camera she purchased it a number of years back i dont know when it came as deal with the body and two lenses a 18-55mm and 55-250mm with a bag.Recently i retired and got camera out and manual is missing so im working in the dark.We are in lockdown in melbourne australia at the moment so my question is if you can help me i would appreciate.
I needed a new sd card without the manual it makes it hard to work out what size to buy,so i brought a lexar 16gb professional sdhc uhs1 663x95mb/s which i have no idea if thats the right card.Question two you mentioned about a wifi sd card what size card do you recommend and that goes about to the first question as well and what brand.
Example a toshiba flashair 16gb sdhc/sdxc which i dont think its the right card is $143.09 delivered then the next size up is a ez share 32 sdhc class 10 $46.00.I don't think this camera can take a 32gb card.Cheers Gary
Hi Gary, I am very sorry for such a late reply, I've been very busy lately... Regarding your question, this camera is definitely capable of taking cards with higher capacity than 32gb, so you don't need to worry about that. That being said, this camera produces relatively small files anyway, so getting something lower than 128gb will do it (or just get many small capacity cards, so incase you lose a card or two, you won't be loosing a lot of images).
Regarding card type, I think the normal SDHC cards with any class from class 4 and above will do the job. This camera does not shoot very fast and the files are small and a lot of these SD cards are also very affordable nowadays (I remember back in the days when this camera was still new in the market, even an 8gb SD card (class 4) for this camera was already super expensive).
Regarding the wifi card, I am not sure about the possibilities of options as it seems like there are different brands and variation of wifi SD cards available in different countries. But I would go with the Toshiba because that was the one that was recommending to many people and this brand seems to be available in many countries as well... But if it's too expensive, then you can choose other brands and options as well (I am not sure why it is so expensive there...) but just read the reviews. Again, the speed of the SD card does not need to be super high for this camera as the files are not large. So if you can find the lower class but still above class 4 cards, you can save a bit of money and it would still work!
I hope that helps, I am sorry again for such a late reply... I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting!
David :-)
Any possibilities to use this camera for video capture?
Unfortunately it can’t natively capture videos on this camera....
What lenses are the best for this camera?to make portraits. Thank you
It really depends on what kind of look you are going for and your budget really... I think if you are looking for a nice standard focal length lens that is really good but also cheap, I'd recommend the Canon ef 50mm f/1.8 STM but if you are looking for more of an intimate look for a budget, then I'd recommend the Yongnuo 35mm f/2.0. They are both very affordable, lets in a lot of light, creates nice background blur and give you really nice and unique look actually. :-)
@@DavidCuhls thank you very much!
I want to start with photography and I’m thinking about getting the 1000d or 450d, which should I get?
In my opinion, the 450d is better because it is better in lowlight, gives more control options, cleaner images with slightly more megapixels. Better screen to judge the images, more autofocusing points and slightly better built quality. So on the long run, I think that the 450d is a better choice and since they cost almost the same, might as well just go for the slightly better option. :-) Hope that somewhat helps, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting :-)
Have found a deal where you get the camera body, 18-55mm lens, camera bag, charger, battery and lens cap for £150 is that a good deal?
I am not sure what the average price of the camera in your country is but I think it’s a good deal if it comes with all of those accessories ☺️
Ok! Ty!
someone know how i make streaming with canon ? 1000d
Do you think or know if that this camera has a limited number of shots?? (and after that starts to work badly?)
If you mean the buffer, I think the camera's buffer is big enough to capture majority of fields but it only has 3 frames per second. But if you mean the shutter life, then every camera including this camera has a shutter.. but it will be a while until you can out-run it:-)
I'm planning to buy this but i am torn between 1000d and 1100d. Which one is better? I am into street photography.
I think for the long term investment, the 1100d might be better because it will be able to take pictures in lower lighting condition, the colour reproduction of is also smoother as well. Furthermore, if you would like to shoot videos, the 1100d has a video feature and the 1000d does not have a video feature. These are general differences that made me think the 1100d might be a better investment for the long run. :-) I hope that helps, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Got one yesterday the best camera I have had hands on
Congrats on the new camera!:-) have fun with it and thank you for watching and for sharing. If you have any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting!:-)
Love mine handy size makes it fantastic for shooting on the fly. I've seen some amazing shots done with it by my freind whos a pro he also has one he keeps in the glove box just in case. Great first Slr and very capable in the right hands. Great watch thanks.
Yeah, it is indeed a great DSLR and is still capable of many professional work actually. Thanks for watching and for sharing. Have a great time and have fun shooting:-)
I'm surprised bc mine doesnt have the live view mode and it was a used one when i bought it. Are there versions of this camera or mine is just broken?
Hi, I think it's not about the version of the camera and certainly not a broken camera (assuming that you still can take pictures with the camera)... I think that when you got it used, might have have been reset by the previous owner and by default, these cameras have the live-view function switched off. You will need to go into the menu and find the live-view function and then enable that function. Once it is enable, go back to the home screen and press the 'set' button. Then you should be in the live-view. If this is not the case, please let me know about your situation in detail and I will do my best to fix it. :-)
@@DavidCuhls it worked!!! Thanks a lot man!!!!
I am glad it worked and you're welcome!:-) If you have anything other questions, always feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer:-) Have fun shooting man:-)
Would you say this camera would be good for beginners?
I would say that this camera is still pretty good for beginners, though at this point in time, for a very similar amount of money, I'd say something like the 550D or the 600D would be a better model to go for just for that extra quality and reliability. That said, this camera will still allow you to learn all the settings that you need to know about photography. It may not be the best camera in the world but it is still able to produce great quality images once you master how to manually control the camera. :-) Hope that helps, I thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Is there any other camera with the same features and price range
You could try checking the canon eos 1100d, nikon d5000. They are generally around the same price range (depending on where you live). Furthermore, both of those cameras will offer video mode as well whereas the 1000d does not :-)
Can you get the ES full frame lenses on it ? Thx
If you mean the ef lenses, then yes. :-) All crop sensor Canon cameras can mount both Ef and Ef-s lenses :-) Hope that helps, have fun shooting;-)
I just got my new 1000d camera and learning the manual mode so that i can shoot freely but why does it shoot very dark even if I'm not on a very dark place? Hope you'll notice me and God bless🙂
Maybe your shutter speed is too fast or the aperture is too high? Or maybe you set the exposure metre to low? these all could the possibilities :-)
No Video Feature?
HI, unfortunately it does not have any video feature, the camera came out during the time when higher end cameras had standard video features. However, there are some hacks you can do to get the camera to record videos. However, you won't get any sound because there is no internal microphones. That being said, within similar price range, you can get other DSLRs or older mirrorless cameras that offers video capability as well. :-)
@@DavidCuhls Wow Thanks 😱💖 ive learned a lot of things from yoy
You're welcome!:-) if you have any other questions, always feel free to ask at anytime and I will do my best to answer :-) Have a great day!:-)
@@DavidCuhls What kind of hacks can i use to record just video with my canon 1000d?
This camera can't take video??
I see a couple on yt, so..?
The 1000d cannot take video unless you connect the camera to the computer and hack it to record the live-view... Maybe you saw the videos from the 100d that can take very good video... But the 1000d cannot take video natively from the camera...
This camera and iphone 12 pro max, which takes better photos?
I think that they are very different. The iphone 12 pro max will have the advantage of computing photography where it will be able to combine images instantly to create a higher dynamic looking image thus using faster shutter speed. The images from iPhone 12 Pro Max will also deliver a much more pleasant looking images straight from the camera. However, the 1000d will give you the possibility to change lenses to change your perspective without loosing any resolution and details. The 1000d will also have a better RAW file if you want to edit adjust your images quite heavily somewhere later on in you photography path. With the ability to change lenses, you are also able to mount lenses that allows more light entering the sensor thus giving a more natural blurry background than what any smart phone can achieve as well as better in low light with those lenses. Lastly, the 1000d will allow you to have a complete manual control of your camera so that the you can achieve the precise image that you are after.
So at the end, it depends on your priorities will determine which camera will produce better looking images for you needs. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls Thanks for breaking it down
I'm close to ordering this camera online for 50 euro, I'm actually newbie in photography
Yeah, the 1000d can be found for around 50 euros nowadays. That being said, if you do order it, make sure to invest in nice lenses later because the camera sees the lenses, so a lot of time soft blurry images are produced because of the lens rather than the camera. But the 1000d will definitely help to teach you a lot about the mechanism in photography as well as some of the core rules. :-) I am glad to hear that you are getting into photography too and I wish you all the best with it. I am sure you'll be able to produce nice results! :-)
Which Lens did u use in 1000d
I used the Ef-s 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6, ef 50mm f/1.8 STM, Ef 35mm f/1.4 L USM, ef 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM, ef 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM...
I realised some of the lenses are expensive but I mainly shoot with full frame cameras for my photography/filmmaking jobs and to me it didn’t made that much sense to look for cheaper lenses just to fit on the 1000d when I have some lenses already from my professional setup.
That being said, most of the photos shown in the video were taken with the cheaper ef-s 10-18mm, ef 50mm f/1.8 STM and the ef 35mm f/1.4 L USM lens :-)
Do you still recommend. It on 2020? For first time photographers?
If you are looking for a budget DSLR option and don't care about video, then I think that this camera is good and I recommend it. However, I think you could save up a bit more and look at something like the 1100d, 1200d and 100d. They all are around similar price range and better in lowlight as well as can shoot video. They also have more features and the image quality is also much better as well. Hope that helps, if you have more questions, feel free to ask me at any time and I will do my best to respond. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting:-)
@@DavidCuhls nicee.. thank you so much
I’m wondering what’s the difference between the 450d and 1200d. 450d is a liitle cheaper so I’m thinking about getting this one.
I am going to buy one dslr camera. I haven’t used any dslr before. Is 1000d is good for me. Or if i will buy 1000d body which lens should i buy for it?
I personally think that this camera is still a good camera if your concern is getting good images but you don't shoot too much in low light. If you still want to get this camera, I think the best and first lens to start with is either the kit lens (18-55mm lens, the image quality is not great but it will teach you the basics and will give you okay results but it will give you the basic focal length that you will need to get started with DSLR). The other lens I recommend is the 50mm 1.8, it is a cheap lens that gives you really good images and nice blurry background. Furthermore, it allows in a lot of light into the camera, which means that you can take nicer pictures in the dark with this lens. However, the down side is that the lens is a little bit too tight and you don't have the flexibility to zoom. A third lens that I could recommend is the canon 10-18mm, it is an ultra wide to wide angle zoom lens but it is also affordable and has good sharpness and contrast control. If you would like to know how this camera performs, I've created a video shooting with this camera here: th-cam.com/video/32UMnCuvEAA/w-d-xo.html
If you have more questions, feel free to ask at anytime. Otherwise, I wish you a great time and have fun shooting! Thanks for watching!:-)
I got this just yesterday secondhand. It comes with the kit lens and 70-300mm lens. I'm planning on using this outdoors in daylight and in the night. I'd stay on auto most, but the kit lens AF seems damaged (it only refocuses one way). I'm looking for other lens (like 18-135mm) but I'm not yet decided as the lens cost more than the price I bought the package for. Any recommendations will do for beginners like me. Also, watched that other video and you took epic shots! You got a new subscriber here. 🙇🏽♂️
In getting this do the lenses come off or not
It is an interchangeable lens system, so you can change different ef and ef-s lenses with this camera :-)
Great thanjs
What kind of WiFi cards can you use for this camera?!
Depending on where you live there will be different brands such as Eye-fi SDHC cards, Toshiba wifi SDHC cards, etc. :-)
Hi just saw this video, I found a 1000d for very cheap 180 euro. Do you think its worth it for me to purchase it. I want to use it to take photos of models for my business, I sell hair products and head wear? Please reply
Hi, I think that the camera is still worth but but a 180 euros is not worth the money unless if the camera already comes with a lens and some other essential accessories. Otherwise try looking at the canon eos 1100d, canon eos 500d, canon eos 100d and canon eos 1200D.
David Cuhls thank you 🙏🏿
David Cuhls sorry David have another question found a 100D for a reasonable price but it's just the body no kit. Do you think I should buy a kit lens or 50 mm. I'm only a beginner so I don't know too much
If you are mainly going to be focusing model, then I'd recommend the 50mm 1.8, the 35mm 2.0 (or the 24mm STM if the 35mm is a little over budget), hope that helps :-)
David Cuhls thank you so much
Is it availablea vedio recording
There is not built in video mode, sorry
Hi, I recently got it as a graduation gift from my aunt. Does this camera can be connected to a mobile device? If not then how do you transfer photos to mobile phone without removing the sd card? Thank you 💕
Hi, congratulations on your graduation! ☺️ regarding your question, this camera does not have the ability to wirelessly connect the camera to the smartphones, it’s simply is too old for that, unfortunately... But there is a WiFi SD card that you can cheaply get nowadays and you can set it up that it transfers images to your smartphones automatically after taking the photos☺️
@@DavidCuhls thank you for the immediate and positive response. 💕
@@DavidCuhls can you recomend a Brand or somethin? Thank you
This really depends on where you live, but where I live, there are two major brands that makes them, the first one is Toshiba (just search for Toshiba THN FlashAir SD card) and the second one is Gudoqi (just search for Gudoqi wireless wifi SD card). But if where you live don't have any of these brands just search for wireless (or wifi) SD cards. :-)
@@DavidCuhls thanks mate. It really helps a lot. Love your work. Make tons of them btw.
As a webcam is possible?
I remember that it was actually possible to have it has a webcam when it was first released... But with the camera being technically outdated now and with newer generation of operating system out since, I am not sure if there is still any software that would still support the camera as a webcam...
Can it record video?
It cannot record video, I am sorry :-/
Thanks this is helpful!
You're welcome! I am glad that you found it useful!:-) Have fun shooting!:-)
Heyy.. Can i get this cam??
Yes, this camera is very accessible in many second markets for a really low price nowadays, so it is very easy for you to get this camera nowadays. :-) Thank you for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
How do you live view
The “SET” button allows you to enter the live-view feature of the camera. But if after pressing it and it still wouldn’t get into the live-view mode, then you have to enable the function in the menu settings. :-)
I am getting mine for $150. So I wanna know about this camera
So I broke my 1d ... And planning on getting this just for a trip.. maybe it can handle a bit od astrophotography
Sorry to hear about your 1d... I think that paired with a nice lens, you can really get some really nice astrophotography shots with this camera. Furthermore, the live-view system will help you to frame your Astro shots as well. I think that if you are not doing a lot of action nor a lot of super lowlight, this camera is still really good budget option to really go for:-)
@@DavidCuhls update: Saving up for a 5d2 ! ( Not sure if the 1D can be repaired) ,I'll go one trip with my phone camera 📸,5d2's are getting cheaper now days
I think that's a much better choice, the 5d mark ii will be much better in low light condition as well as giving (in my opinion) nicer colour production and dynamic range for what you want to do. Hope you are enjoying your trip and have fun shooting! :-)
You too David! I'm 19 with 41$ in my account lol ,have some saving up to do
Ok, I’m confuse now. I want to give to my wife one of this cameras. But the info says the camera has a 10.1MP, and her phone has 16MP. Is it for real? I mean, the camera of a smartphone can really be better?
I think if you just purely judge a cameras based on the number of megapixels that they have, then sure, many smart phones will be better. But smartphone sensors are smaller thus, the light gathering per pixels is less, giving your less performance in low light. Furthermore, smaller sensors also means you cannot naturally blur the backgrounds as nice as you can with DSLR cameras. Adding on, you can add different high quality lenses to DSLRs to give high quality different perspective to the images you are capturing. Not to mention the colour science, colour reproduction, skin tones of each camera sensors that also matters...
DSLR cameras will also generally give you more manual controls than smartphone cameras and also better and more robust files to edit should you want/need to.
Also, when you say “one of these cameras”, it also depends which model of “one of these cameras” you are looking for. You can find more features cameras with high resolutions as well. You can easily go for 24mp, 30mp, 50mp, 100mp models as well. If the number of mega pixels matters that you will always have the option to upgrade to a higher megapixel count.
But if you are not ready to take controls of any of the features and prefer the camera to decide a lot of things, then maybe the smart phone might be a better camera to use at the end of the day...(?). But that’s just what I think..
Nice video
Thanks! Hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)

No firmware? Strange…
If you mean no recent firmwares, then yes, the camera has been discontinued for a very long time now. Even if you want the latest firmware for the camera, you might have to manually select the operating system that the firmware was available for in the time period... If you are using more modern operating system, the website will not show any firmware at all simply because there are no firmwares for the 1000d made during the time period of more modern operating system to be compatible with... Hope that helps somewhat~~ I thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
I also live in rotterdam
That's cool! haha, it's a cool city :-) Have fun shooting!:-)
dude, was this 1 take?
Yeah.. haha~~ Most of my videos are 1 take... If I make a mistake, I'd have to start over again. This is because I don't write scripts for my videos as I know I will sound even more unnatural when talking in front of the camera if I were to read from a prepared script... Also, I just prefer saying what I actually think about the camera (or other equipments that I am talking about) on the spot... This "method" also allowed me to be more honest I feel...(?) Not sure how to explain but I hope you get the idea. I am sorry if the one shot didn't go as smoothly as scripted videos... I am doing my best to improve it.... Thank you so much for watching though. :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls no i was actually impressed, thats not easy to do, even with notes. thanks, you too.
I really want a camera but i dont have money
I want to become a good photographer because it is for my allowance in school and for everyday
yeah, I really understand the situation being a foreign university student myself. That being said, there are so many affordable cameras and if you don't mind, even more second options out there that are still very very good and will deliver you amazing results at the end of the day! :-)
canon 1000d price
I got mine for 50 euros (as mentioned in the video). That being said, you can get it much cheaper or just a little bit more expensive depending on where you live (also as mentioned in the video) :-) Hope you have a nice day and have fun shooting:-)
I am using this camera from 2010
Thanks for sharing, keep rocking the camera! It's still a great camera :-)
ROTTERDAMMMMM
Haha yes, most of the images shown in this video where taken in Rotterdam :-) Glad you recognised it! Thank you very much for watching, hope you have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls I was born in Rotterdam :) Thank you for uploading the vid and giving some love to the canon eos 1000d. Purchased this camera ages ago for my studies as an art teacher and felt like it became outdated. You inspired me to start using it again!
"Takes ok images time to time" dude...the Rebel XS paired with a good Royce lens.....only ONLY 1 or .5 */* of humans would notice nor CARE. Sorry to burst all you photo snobs bit anything from rebel eos up pretty much owns all cellphone cameras....
I do beliefe that this camera can still take great images and I have done some videos about my light photography with this camera. However, when I do say “takes ok images from time to time” it really refers to the technical side of this camera when compare to more modern rebel cameras to date or even other low end entry level cameras. Can the 1000d still take great images? I would say absolutely but I also have to be realistic when comparing it to more modern cameras when it comes to the technical side of the images. But of course, the creative side of the images does depend on the photographer, not the camera. Thank you for watching and for sharing your comment, much appreciated it. Have a nice day and have fun shooting! :-)
@@DavidCuhls I understand that but dude...the way I said that is silly....like your comi g off casual but now your saying basically, this is high detail very professional spec shit review.....this video did not have that vobe bro... And everyone knows photo snobs are BSers when it comes to the adv. Human ...like 99÷ of humanity can NOT tell the difference from a rebel XS from ,2013 vs a brand new 2020 camera in a photo that's 1080.......
