Canon EOS 1100D: Overview
Canon has long catered well for the entry-level digital SLR market. Its EOS 300D was the first digital SLR available for under £1000 and as technology has advanced, their cameras aimed at this market have gotten cheaper and more compact, whilst still sporting a decent array of features.
In fact, the features on offer must have been good on this camera’s predecessor, the EOS 1000D, as Canon introduced it around three years ago. This is quite a long stint for any digital camera in Canon’s range, as more are tweaked or overhauled much sooner.
So why have we had to wait so long? It is probably due to the fact that the EOS 1000D still represented good value and was still very popular with those on a budget. That is until very recently, as the range of features it offered were never too far off the next model in line for a more palatable price.
Canon’s recent announcement of the EOS 600D, with its 18 megapixel CMOS sensor, swivel screen and full HD video recording facility, DIGIC 4 processor and 14 bit RAW output has obviously changed matters somewhat. Without an update to its entry level offering, the gap in specification would be noticeably bigger, making the venerable EOS 1000D look positively dated.
