Book Reviews
Magic Lantern guides are a little thicker than the manuals that currently come with a camera, but approach the handling in a different way. The manuals are usually written by photographers who use that particular brand of camera, whereas instruction manuals are often writen by the japanese arm of the manufacturer and translated so often things are not explained well. With this EOS book we hope it's a pro photographer who knows the ins and outs of the market this camera is intended for. The o...
This book wont be winning any beauty prizes but the information it has on offer lets it off a little. The book covers a wide selection of topics and is written in a clear and concise way. The lack of colour lets it down a little as the black and white images mean details, such as camera diagrams, are not clear. This is a good reference guide that will help you learn more about your camera but it wont help you improve your technique. If you're looking for a reference guide that's easy ...
This book is a great guide for any Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D users who want to learn more about the camera they use . The book takes you from the basic controls of the camera to the best ways to use white balance and other such controls and finally to accessories that will work best with the camera. The book looks similar to a school text book which makes it easy to follow and understand. The text is large and split into small, easy-to-follow paragraphs and images are well captioned. ...
This book is designed to show you how to make the most of your digital camera. The book offers explanations of all the controls and menus and offers picture taking advice which both the beginner or series photographer can appreciate. The layout is simple and easy to follow and the language used will allow you to skip through this book at ease. The book is well illustrated and captions give you extra pieces of information which support and add to the main body of text. If you're looki...
This book is really easy to read and the author has made the usual technical wording very clear and easy to understand. All the functionalities of the camera are covered in detail and the colour photos illustrate the points made well. The layout is neat, easy to work through and is organised well. If you don't feel you're classed as a beginner and you need a little bit more information than what you find in the manual then take a look at this book.

Canon EOS D30
Canon's first "budget priced" digital SLR has the look and feel of an EOS with a competitive price to Fuji and Nikon alternatives. Having the EOS lens mount gives it wider appeal along with the easy to use handling that EOS owners love. Canon have chosen a CMOS chip to record the 3.11 million pixel images and there are plenty of modes to keep all kinds of photographer happy.

Canon EOS 400D
The Canon EOS 400D, called Digital Rebel XTi in North America and EOS Kiss Digital X in Japan. A mid-range digital single-lens reflex camera first released on August 24, 2006. An improvement of the 350D with a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor vibrating cleaning system, the precise 9-point auto focus system from the EOS 30D, improved grip, and a bigger 2.5-inch (64 mm) LCD with 230,000 pixels. The 400D uses the DIGIC II image processor, as is used in the 350D. It was succeeded by the Canon EOS 450D in April 2008.

Canon EOS 5D
The Canon 5D is now a modern classic. It was the first Prosumer Canon full frame digital SLR that most keen amateurs could afford and it rewarded them with smooth 12.8 megapixel files. The area where if wasn't so strong were focusing and frame rate. It struggles in low-light to focus and chugs along at a poor frame rate of around 3fps. This camera was a benchmark for Canon and certainly there are many still going strong to this day on their second and third shutters.

Canon EOS-20D: Deliveries
Good grief Andy! Was that the quote you had from Canon? You really have me worried now. The turnaround time is about 4 weeks. What really bugs me is that Lehmanns are an official Canon repair centre, but are still awaiting training on the IS lenses. I'm sure that Lehmanns would turn these repairs around quicker than Canon and they are only half an hour's drive away from us. Lehmanns do gu...

Canon EOS-1D X released
This is the samples page on the Canon Japan website, given the way this has been populated in the past I wouldn't hold out hopes for a RAW image at high ISO anytime soon though. Am I missing something with this? I can only see 600x400 pixel images. The highest ISO one being 12,800 - which looks very clean. But how could you tell at that size?

Canon EOS 300V or Minolta Dynax 5 ?
Everything said already in this thread is good gen. Eventually it has to come down to your choice, to suit your needs. As both of the cameras you are looking at are good ones, the most decisive factor is the feel of the camera in your hand. Hold on to both of them for a few minutes in a shop and buy the one that 'feels right' in your hand. If neither feels right, expand your list. If you don't ...

Canon EOS 300D - good and bad points please?
Thank you very much I am definitely liking the sound of the 350D from what I have looked at so far, if I can afford it, if not maybe the 300D which will hopefully go down quite a bit when the 350D comes out in March. A lot of people seem to be very happy with the 300D I will go and have a feel and c what I think in the next couple months. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Canon EOS 10D or 300D?
I've seen loads of excellent photo's from the 300D, and all of them have been on here, as regards to quality and level of photog, I don't see any difference between the 300D and 20D, am pretty sure they could both produce the same photo with my level of photog anyway (which is very VERY little) Regards Craig :o)

Canon eos 33
Cheers guys. I'm still looking, can't see any for sale at that price yet though. Is there any others I should keep my eye out for? Minolta, Nikon, etc... Something that's a match for the 30E/33? Price and quality wise.

Canon EOS 3D rumour??
I have 2 1dmkii bodies and 1 20d, usually i pack the 20d instead of the second 1dmkii for 2 reasons the 20d has less iso noise at iso 800 and 1600 the 1dmkii has a focus issue in bad light or nightime outdoor shots as it has a phantom delay before turning on the flash illuminator of around a 1/4 of a second, the 20d has none and locks on faster when you need the illuninator for focus...Why ? ...

which Canon EOS model
The EOS 30 is excellent, though it has now been superseded by the 30V - and that has the new flash metering system also found on the 1D Mark II, EOs 20D, and the EOS 300X. I'd be less inclined to go for an EOS 5, they've been discontinued for a few years now and parts are only readily available for seven years after production has ceased. The 30/33/30V can manage 4fps, and the only real los...

Being the market leader in the fastest growing sector of the photographic market is a tough title to hold on to, especially with most major camera manufacturers announcing new entry-level products this year. Can Canon's latest entry-level offering, the EOS 400D, retain this position in the face of such fierce competition? In this review Gary Wolstenholme takes a look whether if anyone can, Canon can.
