DPExpert have reviewed the new Canon EOS 1000D, it features a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, Up to 3fps, 7-point wide-area AF, Self-Cleaning Image Sensor, 2.5” LCD with Live View mode, DIGIC III processor, auto lighting optimizer, SD/SDHC card slot. The Canon EOS 1000D is available for pre-order for £398 with IS kit lens, or £351 body only:

“Stupid gimmicks apart, this is a good way to buy into a system than will grow with the user’s expertise. And when the time comes to move up to a better body the Canon lenses will still be in the bag to use on the new camera. And as decent lenses generally cost more than the price of the EOS 1000D camera body this is an important consideration. So the two good reasons to buy this camera are Canon’s outstanding image quality and their extensive range of options and accessories.”
