With its class-leading, eight-megapixel resolution, large continuous-shooting buffer, excellent auto-focus, superb feature set and accessible metering modes, the Canon 350D is a brilliant camera The handling could be better – some of the controls are awkwardly placed – and image quality is just a tad less than exceptional.

Great all-rounder.

Have owned my 350D for about 5 months now and have so far been extremely pleased with it. It's nice and easy to use, handles well and most importantly, produces some great photos.

I don't know enough about cameras or photography to give an expert opinion but for someone fairly new to photography I have found this camera does everything I could possibly want it to at my current level of ability.

nice camera, EOS 350D

Reviewer: Frito, Oslo, Norway

I got my EOS350D due summer '06 as my first SLR, and I really can't complain much, exept about the fact that the camera is a little bit too small for me, and every other guy with large hands. (I would have enjoyed Canon EOS 1D Mark III more) hehe..
Well.. That's my review. So I give the camera a minus for it's size.

A nice piece of kit & a good dealer to!!

Reviewer: Rayk, Luton, UK

I have recently bought the 350D to upgrade, i used to have a Fuji S700 zoom - well I can only say two things, firstly this has taken my hobby to a new level, and secondly I had some dust problems, the dealer "Jessops" could not have been better if they tried.

I've owned this camera for 1 year already. It's a good entry level DSLR. I've taken heaps of images with it and have more keepers than anything else. Picture quality is superb right up to ISO800.(Noise are creeping out at ISO1600) .Recently bought a new canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens to go with this baby....., i can't be happier ever since.

350 D= DELIGHT!!

Reviewer: ahaywaal, Telford - Shropshire, England

Fantastic camera......i bought this 2 weeks ago at the new price of £485 with a 18-55mm lens...i know the price drop was due to upgrades to other canon cameras, but this camera still got it!!
Great picture quality easy to handle ........worth every penny

I'm in heaven

Reviewer: keyren, Walvis Bay, Namibia

Canon 350D
I've only had this camera for a few weeks and the results are incredible. The comments from friends and others on the quality of the photos are fabulous.
I feel like I've gone from being a person with a camera to a Photographer....Amazing.
