Looking at the Canon 1000D
December 8th, 2011 | Author: admin
The wedding was wonderful, but it wasn’t until a few days later that I began to feel sad. Well it had nothing to do with losing a daughter. Using my Kodak 290 digital camera wasn’t such a good idea because when I transferred them to my laptop only 12 or so were any good.
That’s when I decided to buy a Canon eos 1000D from Amazon. There’s no contest between the Canon and my old Kodak due to the Canon’s autofocus which captures pics over 50 feet away and in such clear pictures too.
The Canon was light in my hand and it handled extremely well after that big bulky Kodak of mine. Once I got the Canon out of the box I had to rummage for the manual which I sat and read before I started snapping away like mad.
The Canon is sold along with a lens that is 18mm to 55mm letting you take great pictures before you upgrade to something a bit larger. The battery life seem reasonable as I’ve already taken over 300 pictures and its still going strong. Once you take the Canon out of the box the battery needs a good 2 hours to give it a head start but after that it just needs an hour or two.
I’ve got two batteries for My Canon just to be on the safe side. Its just a matter of slipping the hatch open on the top and dropping the battery in. A 16 meg memory card is ample for this type of camera which lets you take a staggering 500 pictures on one charge.
Digital Photo Professional comes with the Canon camera package and will let you do some amazing stuff with your photos.
I’ve always wanted to take professional photos with my camera so getting a 3rd party book may help here. I always look out for a book on the gadgets I buy it seems like a good idea when you may not get what you want out of the manual.
My Canon wasn’t simple to use after my Kodak but now several weeks on its the sweetest camera you could ever want. I’ve definitely come up in the world since I bought my Canon. Posters are not the sort of thing I would have thought of doing with my Canon but if it can do that what else can it do.
One problem that crops up a lot when you buy separate electronic gear is that when you plug it in to your laptop the machine says it can’t find anything but that’s not the case here. I plugged in the Canon via the USB line that came in the kit and the laptop recognized it immediately without me having to run any software first. All of a sudden there it was as if by magic.
When I was choosing a camera the Canon wasn’t my first choice but am I glad I changed my mind and now I urge anybody thinking of buying a camera to look long and hard at this model.
