Pros: ergonomics, robustness, battery life, photo rendering, autofocus

Cons: no live view, dense pixel not very high, no automatic sensor cleaning

Opinion: This is not a REFLEX but it is a tank, as soon as you take it in your hand you feel it, the grip seems made specifically to be grasped, the weight is not heavy or light, the right that makes it feel solid, the controls are all in the right place, reminiscent of those of the Minolta SLRs and the first Sony, the beautiful bright and faithful viewfinder immediately makes you enter the action, it has a good speed of autofocus to be old and has an exceptional photographic rendering despite having only 8 megapixels, this is not at all a point against it indeed, I find it right also because it allows you to take full advantage of the full dynamic range and light available even at high iso, tried up to 1600 and the noise is almost imperceptible , I own several Canon reflexes and I believe that with what it costs today (something more than 120/150 euros is enough for a machine body in good condition) you can take it with your eyes closed and it is much better than all the plastic entry levels (this one has the magnesium body). Of course there are no more modern features like wireless connectivity and live view and videos, but if you wanted cool stuff you would buy yourself a mirrorless

Pros: Great Refle now at a bargain price

Cons: Nothing for age

Opinion: Bought used last year with 500 shots practically new perfect without wear. Aesthetically perfect. Purchased for just over 100,00 euros with batterygrip and N.2 batteries one original and the other competitive. I also have a Canon eos 10D and a Canon eos 20D this is also better because it is newer and has a better dynamic range with good color tones.

Pros: Price of the used. Solid structure. Infinite battery. Recommended.

Cons: The limits of the product when compared with modern SLRs.

Opinion: Bought on Ebay at a really small price, with very few photo shoots and kept very well. It was a pleasant discovery! For work I use two different brands and Canon has always been put aside although it is a high quality brand. At the reflex I added a cheap lens to which I will review, brand Yongnuo. What I liked most about this reflex, are the colors that even in raw, do not need special changes if you set custom parameters in the machine. A few AF points, but they do not create problems for me, indeed sometimes I prefer situations of this kind. Of course if we take into account the fact that she is 13 years old and we compare her to the most modern, something different or missing, you will notice. Nevertheless, you can get very beautiful, interesting, clean images, etc... just pay close attention to its use. This talk is valid for both a vintage reflex and a last-minute reflex! What I always say, especially to my clients, is not so much the arnese that one has but how it is used. I will try, as soon as I can, to upload more photographic examples with this reflex. I recommend it as a purchase and as a staple if you are looking for a valid product for your photographs. I got to see in the gallery a lot of images taken with great Canon lenses. Really a great machine that can give a lot of satisfaction.

Pros: ergonomics, burst, really impressive dynamic range.... colors, simple resolution but with good detail, good raw.

Cons: the display, noise from the 500 iso, autofocus sometimes swinging.

Opinion: I come from a 20D and I have to say that it has everything that in 20D made me unnerving, spot measurement, (a godsather for portraits), improved iso stops, picture style processing with sharpness and nice manageable contrasts, a sensor that keeps simple and not too "digital" resolutions in my photographs, very nice manageable raw files , focus points improved compared to the 20D, display finally larger and well readable (I do not know why everyone discriminates against it and find it horrible), a body that has a beautiful design and well robust, very comfortable and with well sliding rings, iso 1600 usable if you correct the noise well ... obviously the 8 megapixels give me some limitations in crop, but for someone like me carves out the shots little, I don't know how much of a problem it can be, the autofocus is completely improveable, but after all, since I don't take sports photography I don't get too many kidneys.

Pros: Excellent yield of the pictures, in either JPEG or RAW really need very little pp.rnResa colors really ideale.rnFiltro absolutely not invasivo.rnBatteria almost infinita.rnIndistruttibile.rnAffidabile.

Cons: Yield at high iso ENOUGH. The few MPs (8.2) are not a problem (unless you're fanatics crop!)

Opinion: With good optics (24-105, 70-200 f4 is 35 and Sigma Art) returns the image as the gallery below riportata.rnhttp: //www.juzaphoto.com/m_me.php? Pg = 93526 & l = itrnrnI colors, the yield to iso "human", the reliability in any condition (from the heat of Rajasthan in May, the sand of the desert in Africa, the humidity of Victoria Falls) make it, today, a second body at a phenomenal price that is, it used, from 100 to 200 euro. Frankly I do not know that you could buy a new body that figure ... rnrnPer personal experience: a serving 30d 150 € today? RnRajastan, second day. Travel dreamed for years. Optical kit built on this trip anni.rnClic. Et voila '! Skip the side of the 5D !! Terror! The FF was out! I take then the 30d and ... Magic, three weeks of shots and never a problem, never! Good optics on this body gave me back pictures that adoro.rnrnPer those fans of newcomers, for all supporters of the most esasperate.rncon this taking pictures. Punto.rnrnALTAMENTE RUIN A CHI: rn "BUT I WANT TO SPEND MUCH OF PI?" RNE rnrnAGGIORNAMENTO 29 April 2015 at the end, after nine years of honorable service and over 140,000 shots .... the shutter has decided that it was right to retire ... Flow immediately repair ... alas spare parts are gone.
