Canon fires off budget DSLR

Fancy dipping your toe into the world of profesional digital photography, but don’t want to warn your bank manager first? Then Canon’s new 1000D is for you.

It’s a beefy 10.1 megapixel digital SLR, packing compatibility with Canon’s massive lens range, as well as its Speedlite flash guns. No difficulty finding accessories then.

Inside there’s also a seven-point autofocus system, the ability to shoot 3 frames per second, and a sharp 2.5-inch LCD, that also boasts Live View, to show you what the camera’s seeing.
