3 years ago this was the video that convinced me to get myself the 1000D. I have a 50D now. The only think I ever found lacking in the 1000D all this time was spot metering and no ISO beyond 1600. For everything else, this is the perfect beginners SLR.
The Battery on this thing just doesnt die!!! ive sat here with continuous shooting taking photos for 20 mins solid, its still on a full battery on a charge from 3 days ago
@@robbyroberts3214 So, do you like the 100d? My son and me both own one with the 18-135mm IS STM. For me its a small and light alternative to my 5d mk3. You not always need full frame. My son likes the Touchscreen and the light body( he is 13). It's his third Canon after the 450d und 550d and he likes it a lot more than the others. I hope, you can enjoy this lovely camera with all it's features and the indeed good picture quality. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy
@Dylandier It can take video if it's connected to a computer and you have a certain piece of software installed on that computer. You will have to run a microphone on the side though. Not exactly a practical solution, but it can be done. Shoots in HD.
@MyoujouAdauchi no i didn't, but i think if you buy the rebel xs you will get a lens with image stabilization? I don't know but I think it'll come with a stabilizer kit. just guessing... ;D
I got exactly the same problem, with Err99 poping up everytime I try to shoot a picture. I send my camera back to the manufacturer and got a new one, and once again after 3 weeks this new one got the Err99 problem too. I chosed Canon for the image quality, the 1000D is awesome for the price, you have a huge range of lenses available, the pictures are very sharp even with the 18-55IS kit lens, but once you got the very commun Err99 problem you start having regrets ..
Really good video, thank you so much, I've had this camera for a few years and was too lazy to read the manual. I didn't know I could do half the things you've shown me. :)
@mmoby1 I know this is like month later but live view only works on certain settings like manual. It doesnt work on premade settings like "no flash automatic".
Great review. If I understand correctly, in manual mode , the wheel is dedicated for the shutter speed by default, but if you press 'ISO' or 'av' buttons you use the wheel to set sensitivity and aperture? What's the lens like? I've read it;s really difficult to manually focus? What's the viewfinder like, considering MF? Is it possible? Can it record video? I don't see movie mode on the ring?
Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
@Reallush Can you recommend a good video camera? i have been searching for sometime now, looking at sites n stuff looking for camera's and the watching some tests on youtube to see how they are. I need one for 800$ at the most. It would mean a great deak to me if you could help me out. I usually focus alot on the coloring of the videos, and i've been inpired by some of sony's stuff
I got this for my birthday last month and I'm loving it! I take mostly live band photography and snowboarding photography... What bits would you recommend..? I was looking at the 50mm 1.8 because it was cheap and I could get a better shutter speed from it... Both the bands and the boarders tend to come out blurry from the kit lens... Better to buy the lens or a cheap flashgun? Cheers!
Lower resolution gives better ISO sensitivity. So you get more clarity and less noise while shooting at high ISO settings. Higher resolution is good for low ISO picture detail which is useful if you're deciding to print posters of your pictures but thats all its useful for. Resolution has little significance when it comes to SLR. The big high resolution pictures just use up more space.
Would this camera do a good job today 10 years later since the release taking pictures of landscapes as I'm going to be traveling around a lot? I've got the opportunity to by an unused Canon 1000D for £65...
@Suzan2k Probably because you have to high of an aperture setting .. go to tv mode and move the dial to change the setting to 1/1000 that will get a sharp image
@hellaflushlove If you but it new it will have a battery, but I always recommend getting a second. All* SLR lenses are manual zoom only, if you meant focus, you can toggle between manual and auto focus on most lenses- including the one included with the camera.
The Autofocus refuses to work on mine , the square never goes green , and the picture gets very blurry unless you press the * button on the righ top corner . Is the Autofocus on the lens or in the camera ? I hope it `s on the lens , since then i just need to replace the lens . Or i have to send it in for repair since it refuses to focus when press the shutter button down halfway like all other cameras i have had .
@duffz The only thing that helped me was looking trough the viewfinder instead of using live view . When i used Live View the camera diden`t want to focus . But in the viewfinder it does focus .
Well, i swapped my first camera for a new one, which I did for free (under warranty), i'm gonna bring back my 2nd new camera to the store I bought it from, and I hope they'll swap this one too .. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 450D which seems to have less problem like those. The 40D is famous too for the Err99 problem ..
Please help me. I want to take interior photos with my Canon 1000 D . I have a Sigma wide angel lens 10-20 but it is impossible to get nice and focused picktures in a room. And how do I do to see the nature from ouside in windows? . I always use automatic focus and green mark on the weel. Can you tell me exactly what to do please .
thanks for the quick tutorial - I especially enjoyed the metering segment - you definitely showed the differences there very well. I have a better understanding for metering now, thank you.
Is this a good starter camera? Is it good at snapping things in motion? Is there anywhere I can see samples other than the 4 pictures on the canon sight. Thanks everyone.
i cannot thank you enough, for the past two weeks, i'm terribly confused between a Nikon D40, D60 and a Canon 1000D. This review has made me to choose a Canon over Nikon!
How does 1000D with 18-55mm kit lens, with extra battery, 4 GB SD card, carrying case and cleaning cloth for 500€ sound like? I also thought about Nikon D40, but it doesn't have AF built in, so, I'm not sure. It would be my first camera, so, any suggestions?
hello there , i own a Canon 1000D , i dont know if my camera's buildin stablizer works or not . i dont feel any difference when i switch it on and there is no any indication in screen when i turn it off or on how to know that my lens image stablizer works ... ? any help will be really appriciated .. thank you !!
I know this is like 6 years later but there goes nothing. I have the same camera and there is no liveview option. Actually there are only 4 menu columns and many options are missing. Do you have any idea what's going on? Do i have to firmware update?
maureen Ohcoiuq Yes it is good looking at the features available on cameras before 10 years,, but nowadays you can find a really good new cameras with more features and less price.
so you can say that this is the manufacturing fault for Canon 1000D ... actually i also want to buy this model ... but by reading your comment .,.. i am confuse .... so what u suggest to me ?
Can someone please tell me why I do not have the live view function although it is a canon 1000d? I do not even have the stabilizer. Thanks for the test. Indeed useful for a beginner like me.
i can't show my live view , i just got new canon 1000d , i read the manual , but i can't , is any one know about the settings, means it's don't show live view in LCD monitor , the live view is enable ??? please tell me...
@Bauzi514 As far as I know, the 1000D is the top of the pop in low level DSLRs at the moment. I have one myself, my first DSLR, and I'm really enjoying it.
thanks ive learned from this vid new stuffs...i just got canon eos 1000d last sunday and im still learning...tnx again..hopng to see mre vid and learn..
The 1000d has more features and was introduced to market from a different aproach,The d40 may note have live view,7point autofocus. but the Image quallity is way better/The ISO sensibillity is also more performant on the d40
I have been very down at my eos 1000d but there is not thing , not one i like about it . Espcially not mine on which it seems the autofocus is defected .

Very nice review.
This review is almost 2 years old. Is there maybe a new DSLR on the market that has the same awesome price/power value?
I got one of these about 4 months ago. I love it. It's my first dslr, and I recommend getting this camera if you can't splash an extra £300/400 :)

@ArabianKnight7771 . You can find it in the menu but it won`t work in all programs sadly .
It has an Autofocus, which you can use to make blurry background. But you can also use the selective focus.

This one or the nikon 3000D?
Love macro though. So will get a lens for that later on.
How do I use the LCD screen instead of the little look-in-to thingy.
That's called 'Live view', you can find it in your settings
Michael Wong thanks bro, I will try it out when I'm home

I got mine for $380 used a few times maybe but trying to figure how it works. This is a first time SLR camera for me.
do you have to enable live view each time you turn the camera on ?

Hi! Among Canon EOS1000D, Sony A350 and Nikon D60 which one would you recommend for a beginner to start with? thanks for the help in advance!

I love the baterygrip of this camera!
this camera or the d40?? which is better> considering the price pls.. thanks
What would you choose? Canon EOS 1000D or Nikon D3000
@ArabianKnight7771 you have to put it in the letter P on your scroll setting at the top, P gives your more options : )
how fast is the continues shooting and is it full reselution?
Is this a good starter camera? Is it good at snapping things in motion?
Is there anywhere I can see samples other than the 4 pictures on the canon sight.
Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know if there is two rings on the lens (one for zoom and one for focus)?
@MrLeoisdaname well I went for the D3000, thing it's been a good choice. Especially if you just started using a DSLR, it's nice with the guide thing.
The 1000d has more features and was introduced to market from a different aproach,The d40 may note have live view,7point autofocus. but the Image quallity is way better/The ISO sensibillity is also more performant on the d40
@tarrizzzzzzzzz no it doesn't shoot video it only has live view. why not buy a videocam for video.. a slr is made to make pictures in my opinion.
