Canon EOS 350D user reviews

Andrew_Field 23 April 2011

Comment: I previously owned a Canon EOS100 SLR camera and had several lenses for it and also had a "point and shoot" Canon Powershot A70 digital compact camera.

Having taken some wonderful pictures with the SLR as well as lots of dire ones, and having discovered the convenience of digital photography, the release of the 350D made me finally take teh step into buying a digital SLR. It is fully compatible with my existing lenses and the 18-55mm lens supplied is also a useful and versatile addition.

The beauty of digital photography is the immediacy of being able to review what you have shot as soon as the picture is taken. This, and the fact tbat you don't need to buy film and have it developed after the event means I now take many more photographs and can experiment with the settings on the camera with much more confidence and learn more about photography in the process.

I actually took a pretty heavy fall holding the camera and dropped it on a concrete patio in the process and although it is scratched and the lens slightly damaged, both the camera and lens are working fine still which is very impressive for a sophisticated piece of electronics.

Highly recommended, especially if you already own Canon lenses or other equipment.

Good: Easy to use and great shots

Bad: Speed of shots on 'Sport' mode

Comment: I moved from a manual Canon SLR to this camera. It's easy to use (almost idiot proof!) and takes fantastic pictures. The settings are ample for the 'discerning' amateur and give added flexibility.

All in all, it's a fantastic camera and one that I wouldn't be without.
