Pros: sensor, rendered similar to film, with good optics is fantastic

Cons: It's a few years old, but it's definitely not a disadvantage

Opinion: Spartan camera that I got after using the 20D for some time. This one has a larger LCD, basically an improvement on the 20D. I used both with vintage lenses and adapters for example the super takumar 50/1.4, so in manual because it is a way of shooting that is very reminiscent of film photography. The results using the raw format have never disappointed me. I found it very funny. It has the big advantage of files that are light and then have to be developed in post. What can I say: a great toy, surprising and inexpensive that is worth experimenting...

Pros: Very reliable semi-professional, good photochromic rendering despite its 8 mp. very good body, very resistant.

Cons: Maybe a bit heavy especially if you use the BGE2 with batteries.

Opinion: Anyway I had 2 one was sold. I must say that she was and still is a good companion, At the time I took photos of her at a friend's wedding, she didn't make me look bad. I keep the other one and I still use it with a 24-70 sigma former general manager who is also old, but you don't change a winning team. The old lady still defends herself greatly, remaining, in my opinion, an excellent car and worthy of interest for those who do not run too much after trends.

Pros: IMAGES OF SURPRISING QUALITY GIVEN THE AGE AND MPX OF THE SENSOR

Cons: a little bit of everything else

Opinion: Well what can I say, the age is all felt, it looks much more like an analog one also because the small display is almost unusable because of very low quality, few functions, the photos taken displayed you don't understand how they came into reality, but once you connect it to the PC...... In 2025 here is the surprise! with the right lenses TRULY AMAZING IMAGES SUCH AS SHARPNESS AND QUALITY, considering what it costs now to learn I would shoot it with my eyes closed.

Pros: Warm images (a bit like the old Minolta-Sony) that despite the 8 megapixels give a lot of satisfaction, exceptional ergonomics, very robust and metal camera, is found at low prices

Cons: Soon replaced by the 40D for which it is more difficult to find spare parts, it uses the Compact Flash, if the latest firmware update is not already present on the Canon website it is no longer available The control software to manage the camera and see the count of shots was for the old 32-bit systems

Opinion: Exceptional ergonomics does not make you feel the weight of the camera, "warm images", purchased in December 2024, the camera has a tendency to slightly lose the led information in the viewfinder and this also happened to me with the 550D but for that camera I found the spare part shipped to me from the United States, to this camera I would have put 10+ but I gave it a 9 not for the camera itself which is a pleasure to use but only because having replaced it soon (I think because of the 8 megapixels, few compared to the competition) it is more difficult to find spare parts, as camera is exceptional, depth of field button, dials for shutter speed and aperture adjustment where you expect to find them without taking your eyes off the viewfinder (otherwise what reflex would it be), This model is found at very affordable prices and perfect for photography, once you buy it at most you may regret not having taken it earlier

Pros: Magnesium body, excellent ergonomics, very large photodiodes, very light files, color profiles all usable, excellent jpg, low cost, robustness, battery life, photographic performance, fast autofocus

Cons: A few notes on the display, not always with accurate color

Opinion: Among the reflex cameras, despite its age, it is among the best built, it has an ergonomics that make you feel immediately at ease, excellent grip and manageability despite, or perhaps even, for the weight, not low, but not excessive either. Solid handle, with all controls easily accessible and rationally distributed. The viewfinder is not very large but it is bright and allows you to see all the shooting parameters; It never leaves you disappointed, as it is still an appreciable pentaprisma. Despite its age, it has a rather fast autofocus and is, above all, accurate. The eight megapixels don't make you want more resolution as they are good, at least for the most widely used sampa formats and beyond. It has a respectable dynamic range as it is based on rather large photodiodes; Even at high ISO the noise is almost always acceptable and of good texture. It is good, however, not to exceed 1600iso, although a good exposure produces photos that can be used excellently even at iso 3200. The exposition, whatever the method adopted, is always quite accurate. It is capable of producing photos very similar to the eos 5d, which is still considered one of the best cameras produced by Canon. It also has a good built-in flash, which is smooth and well-balanced. At the first grip you immediately feel that it is a semi-pro, different from plasticky and creaky entry level cameras. Although it can be used simply as a point-and-shoot, it has a configurability that can be profitably exploited even in the professional field. All this as long as you don't hope for video capabilities, wirelees and other modern features, which, however, rarely interest a true photography lover.
