The wedding was wonderful but it wasn’t until a few days later that I began to feel sad. Not because my daughter getting married. Using my Kodak 290 during my daughters wedding I took nearly 200 photos but when I came to transfer them to my laptop just 9 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.

So light and easy to handle was the Canon that it took a while after using the Kodak for years. My Kodak was easy to operate but as soon as I got to grips with the Canons manual I was photographing anything that wasn’t moving.

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.

On the Kodak it was 4 batteries but on the Canon there’s just 1 which is much more handy. You just flip the latch at the top left and slide the battery in, simple. The bigger the memory card in the camera the more photos you can take.

Digital Photo Professional comes with the Canon camera package and will let you do some amazing stuff with your photos.

The Canon manual is OK it may be a good idea to buy a Canon book also. The best advice you can get about your New Canon would be someone that already owns one and has written a book about it so go and get “Canon eos 1000D for Dummies”

My Canon wasn’t simple to use after my Kodak but now several weeks on its the sweetest camera you could ever want. Now I can whip my Canon out and just soot away and not worry about the photos coming out blurred. Its fantastic what sort of photos you can get from a Canon if you know how to take them.

I always seem to be hunting round the Internet for drivers when ever I buy a new gadget and connect it to my computer but I was mildly surprised to see the Canons logo pop up the moment I plugged it in. My laptop being fairly new may be the reason the Canon showed up as fast as it did. I was over the moon when the Canon icon showed up.

After several weeks of using this model I’d urge anyone who’s thinking of upgrading to seriously think about getting a Canon 1000D.
