Canon EOS 350 Reviews: Digital SLR Camera

+ Very simple to use, features adequate for my use as a very amateur photographer. Easy access to features. Love my camera look forward to learn as much as I can about all the features.

- Very disappointed with lense, in hindsight would have just bought the body and then purchaesed a good lense seperately, 70-300 for example. The viewer is rather small should have gone that little extra and bought the 400.

+ Good first time slr with excellent quality of image.Also a good range of additional accessories which are compatable.

- none to mention

+ Very good price, easy to use. A good camera to try as a first SLR digital camera.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Great value & quality.

- Some buttons can be caught quite easily by accident.

+ Great if you already have a Canon SLR and want to convert to digital

- now superseeded by a newer model

+ excellent performance generally, image quality very high, many good features and versatility, as small and light as could reasonably be expected. Battery life is amazing and spare batteries cheap.

- Finish a little cheap, quality of plastic poor, with a tendency to scratch easily, also dust on sensor from new! Controls a little too compact and can be fiddly, especially with large fingers. Kit lens is not the best and does limit the performance of the camera. The grip is not as good as it could be, it is a bit small and smooth and makes the camera easy to drop in some situations, especially with a larger lens. Default settings did not give the best image; it took some time and experience to get the results I expected.

+ Compact,light and yet with all the features of a much bigger camera

- Only had it a couple of months, but cant find any yet.

+ Excellent easy to use quality digital SLR with interchangeable lens capability

- Rather small body - I prefer the 300D for size but the 350D has improved features - can't win them all I suppose!

+ The image quality is supurb and with the different modes you can experiment and improve your technique and results.

- For people with large hands it can be a little awkward to hold but with the Battery Grip added it's brilliant.

+ The Canon 350D is a superb camera offering excellent photographs. The clarity is beyond any other camera I have found for the price, it is also very easy to use in full auto mode but can be set up to be used by a more expeienced photograher.

- None

+ Fully specified D SLR, compitible with Canon lenses, flash guns etc. Instant on - no descernible shutter lag. Best spec. for the money at this time.

- Week points (not bad points really) are:
LCD is small
Viewfinder is small
Max flsh sync is 250 (though HS sync works with Canon flash guns)
no PC-sync - Canon claerly expect you to use their (expencive) wirless system for multiple flash. It's got 'Canon' printed on it so all your accessories cost more than they would with a non-Canon/Nikon.

+ Very quick start up. The most frequently used features eg. ISO setting, metering and white balance have short cut button so that you don't have to scroll through the menu to change them. Good ergonomics - it fits nicely in the hand. Simple to use - it can be used straight out of the box. Battery life is excellent.

- Haven't found any yet. It is bulky but that is to be expected with an SLR.

+ Professional pictures even when enlarged to huge sizes. Prints are fantastic. Features easy to understand. Download is easy and very sensible.

- Battery life could be better.

+ easy to use lightweight camera with good quality images

- with lots of digital slr type camera's on the market price could be better

+ Image quality is excellent,even set on high ISO the noise is very low. Lighweight easy to use and good value for money

- The LCD screen could have been bigger but the 400D covers that
