Compare Prices : Canon EOS 350D - Expert Reviews

Review summary: : The Canon EOS 350D is the successor to the 300D, the first digital single lens reflex to break the $2000 barrier. The 350D has an 8 megapixel sensor compared with 6 on the 300D. The new camera is also lighter and smaller.

Pros: : The Canon EOS350D has a lock-up mirror, a boon for long exposures and a facility that the competing Nikon D70 doesn't have.

Cons: : There are two small issues with the 350D. Canon has retained the plastic body material [in silver or black] from the 300D and it looks and feels flimsy. And there is still no spot metering.

Review summary: Megapixels: 8, Media Format: CompactFlash, Type: D-SLR, Maximum Resolution: 3456 x 2304 pixels

Pros: Fantastic range of features, including two auto modes. Superb burst mode. Great value.

Verdict: This versatile, user-friendly camera is a pleasure to use, and will reward those who want to explore more creative avenues without breaking the bank. It shares our Editors' Choice distinction with its big brother, the Canon EOS 20D.

Award: Highly Recommended!
