canon d1000
Which series or model should I buy from Canon? canon EOS D1000, PowerShot G10, PowerShot SX10 IS or IXUS’s?
I looking for a solid camera for taking great photo as a hobbyist on anything, really everything like scenery, animal, people, etc. I’m between entry to mid level. I never use a SLR camera before. Thinking to try one, but it does not offer video recording and may seems too bulky. I need something that can take great photo with ‘not so complicated’ functionality.
I need something that have 28mm wide eg. for group photo, quick shot (not the slow type that take 3sec for a shot like compact), high quality photo result for anything that beautiful, maybe good video resolution too, zoom power, image stabilization. Budget is SGD600 to SG1000.
Basically a great overall camera that is great for all kind of shooting be it in the park, the beach, outdoors, indoor, food taking, insects, animal, clouds, people, something at night too.
You’re asking for the best of everything, with all the features, but you don’t want to pay too much and you don’t want to have to think too hard, either.
I believe you need to really think about your priorities and make up your mind which is more important – basic and limited (but cheap, easy and small), or good quality and features (at higher cost, bigger size and more perhaps more effort to learn).
Anywhere, should you decide to choose this Canon D1000, then here is my canon d1000 review:
The Canon EOS Rebel XS Digital Camera incorporates a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor; enhanced sensitivity up to ISO 1600; High-ISO Noise Reduction; Auto Image Optimization technology; and a precise 7-point autofocus system. The large, 2.5-inch LCD monitor makes it a pleasure to review images and scroll through menus. The Live View feature allows you to frame shots using the LCD screen rather than the viewfinder. Canon’s Integrated Self Cleaning System removes dust automatically from the sensor using ultrasonic vibration.
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Zoom Lens is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology to allow sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible.
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS telephoto Zoom Lens with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer is compact and lightweight. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster.
The 2 x Transcend 8GB SDHC Memory Card. Store More Photos With most point and shoot digital cameras quickly climbing the megapixel ladder, 6,8, and even 10 megapixel ratings are beginning to be commonplace. With Transcend SDHC cards, you can keep up with the larger files these high resolution cameras produce. With 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB capacities, you can store more photos without having to delete old photos on the card before you have the chance to save them to a PC or print them out.
