The precise auto focus system of the EOS 1000D keeps you focused for sharp images. Featuring a diamond-shaped array of seven AF points, this newly improved system delivers outstanding coverage of nearly any subject, both in horizontal and vertical formats. The seven AF points — one high-precision cross-type center AF point with f/2.8 sensitivity and six others compatible at f/5.6 — provide fast, accurate auto focus for any Canon EF lens even when shooting in low-light environments. Focus points can be assigned automatically using one of three different AF modes or manually. Less

I bought this camera on a cruise when my other camera failed. In general, I've been pleased with it. the resolution and color balance are very satisfactory.

Pros Qulality product Feels substantial Looks good Weather-proof
Cons Viewfinder too dark! Deal breaker.
Recommended it? No

I've been using a 3.0 mpxl Olympus Stylus for the last 2 years.. LOVE it!! Weather-proof.. bullet-proof..Idiot-proof. The only problem is my wife and I are constantly fighting over it so last week we agreed we'd buy another. Did my usual anal research and decided we'd try the Olympus Stylus 740....

Pros easy to use, lightweight,affordable, good value, overall good starter camera
Cons lacks some of the features ou might expect/want from an entry level DSLR
Recommended it? Yes
