im a professional photographer working at a portrait studio, we use a nikon there. But at home, i am saving for my own dslr. i currently have a canon powershot, but it doesnt do what i need it to do. i have never worked with a dslr outside of my studio. i was wondering how well this camera would do at concerts or weddings etc. please get back to me! thank you!

Hey Gordon, thanks for the review!
I was just about to buy a compact before going through your DSLR reviews in curiosity. This video pretty much had me sold and I found a 1000D on ebay, loving it. :D

@CrappyVlog it can’t be used as a webcam unless you use eos movrec with it (go google it)
but it’s not very flexible, you need to attach it to your laptop
good thing is, it’s just like watching the camera’s live preview =D

i need your help, it was my bday not long ago n ive been checking on some cameras, and yeah i was wondering if this is a camera for taking pics of sports for example, i do parkour/free running and i wanted a gd camera that would take gd pics cos atm im just taking the pics out of the movies we film. do you think this can do just fine or should i go for the 550d ?
plz answer :)
AshMargrove on August 17, 2011 at 1:02 pm

How much zoom does this camera have? Please Help
misterdriss on August 25, 2011 at 6:27 am
I am wondering if it is possible to take black and white pictures with the camera.
thirdee31612 on August 29, 2011 at 5:55 pm
@misterdriss Yes, it is possible. Just go to monochrome mode.
howtokillatraitor on September 10, 2011 at 12:12 pm
@SupportTheBlind Lens is replaceable, Zoom can vary.

@CrappyVlog
Facing a simular decision, I can see why you went for this. I as yet remain undecided.

When did this camera come out ? Also is it a good canon camera ? How do you upload pictures to the computer with it ?
detestosu on November 29, 2011 at 8:20 pm
@theteam305 1000D
Superalexandru2 on December 2, 2011 at 7:54 am
@BasedKelvyn Using the USB cable

Hi, I’m buying this camera tomorrow, it’s my first DSLR. Does it support SDHC?
