| The latest D-SLR from Canon, the EOS 1000D, represents a new line in Canons D-SLR range, hence the breakaway from the usual three-digit naming convention. The EOS 1000D is intended to build upon the success of the EOS 400D and, although Canon is keen to stress the 1000D isnt a direct replacement for the 400D, the older model will be phased out over time. January 2008 saw the unveiling of the 450D, so will another competitively-priced Canon D-SLR confuse the market? Canon hopes not, and its strategy sees the new lower-priced EOS 1000D aimed at those wanting to make the step up from a digital compact to a D-SLR, while aiming the 450D more at the photo enthusiast looking to invest in an advanced D-SLR system. So what does the EOS 1000D have to offer, and if youre considering buying an entry-level D-SLR, is it the camera for you? |
