Hi, i'm intending to get a back up body, maybe a 1000D.


I would like to know if the 1000D has live view? Thanks.

[fleaz]

yes, it does have live view.

but why do you need it?

I suggest you get a 50D and use your 450D as a backup. Or get another 450D, because for about 200-300 more you get spot metering, 9 point AF on the 450D. Not worth getting the 1000D imo.

i wouldn't say it's not worth.

rather, why do you need the backup body for? what's your budget? there are afterall a few features that the 1000D is missing.

 

[rocfreaks]

if you're a professional, i suggest u get something better...

if you want to share this dslr with your loved ones, maybe your wife/children, brother or sisters,

then i think you should get this 1000d

as many bro stated before me, there are many other things which the 1000d is lacking... but for ppl who want to start photography, buying the 1000d is a good buy.. won't burn the pocket so much

 

[mahathir]

The difference between 1000D and 450D is quite marginal... You can read about it at DPReview.com. I believe most of the users here do not even use spot metering very often. The burst mode in 1000D is slower than 450D. However, most of the time, 3 fps is quite sufficient in wildlife, panoramic, building or simple action shots. The 7-point Auto focus point can easily cover what D40 or D60 could not, as they only have 3 AF points. My suggestion is that we invest in good, sharp and fast lenses. And hence when the body becomes obsolete, the lenses can remain useful a long long time. Lastly, I believe a photographer can still get excellent pictures, not from a so called scaled down camera, but from his skills, creativity and luck.

Happy shooting guys! See ya all tonight!

Regards

More experienced than me, I only 2 months user.

The first pic would have been better if the peacock was facing the camera and taken in landscape rather than portrait.

The second pic cropped too tight, more space on the right would have made it nicer.

The third pic might have been nicer without the reflections, I guess were intentional.

The fourth pic subject OOF.

The fifth pic, buildings not my cup of tea.

Overall, very good effort. :thumbsup:
