I am selling this great Camera as My Partner and I have the same one and we are sacrificing one and we hope that with selling our one baby we can buy a new lense.
This Camera is awesome.
I am amateur photographer and just love Canon FULL STOP.
You cannot get a better SLR in this range. I would recommend this to anyone.
This Camera is about a year and a half old.
I lost the little rubber in the viewfinder.
I look after it very well and never dropped it and it has no scratches whatsoever.
I have all the necessary Manual / Packet Manual, Discs that go with the camera and the Neck Strap, Charger and PC connection, however I don't have the original box anymore. Does not include the Memory Stick.
I did loose the small rubber
I uploaded images from the web and will take some proper pictures pic of the actual camera and upload soonest ;-)
I will package securely and advise the cost of the shopping as soon as I find out form the post office probably about ZR 100 incl insurance.
Canon
have managed to improve many of the features on this camera. This camera packs so many features it's hard to give them all the mention they deserve but I'll try to give a breif overview - they are all brilliant..
It has the usual Canon shooting modes these include standard which are: portrait, landscape, macro, sports and night, which are all fairly self explaintory and also the creative zones.
One thing that sets this apart from other cameras is how fast it is! If you've read my A300 review you'll know that the worst thing I found with it was the delay between pressing the button, it focusing and it actually taking a picture. When you are wanting to take pictures of baby's smiles you need the camera to take the picture now, not in a few seconds when that smile is gone! That isn't a problem here this camera is fast, very fast. When the camera is off you can press the on button and the button to take the picture at the same time (this is easy to do with the camera being so compact) it will only take 0.2 seconds to take your picture! 0.2 seconds from the camera being off to you having taken the picture you want is unbelievably quick. It's less than a second, what more can you want? It couldn't be faster! It has super fast continuous shooting speeds, with upto 3 frames per second and upto a 14 frame burst. This is particularly useful if you don't want to miss that special moment or for photographing wildlife.
This camera boasts an all new CMOS sensor delivering a huge 8.0 megapixels, this really is huge and would produce amazing quality pictures. My A300 is 3.2 megapixels and until now I was amazed at how great the pictures from that camera turned out. The images here would be a good match to those produced by the 20D (which is the camera in this range that is supposed to be better than this one). It produces vibrant punchy pictures that contain so much detail and accuracy that it would be hard to not be pleased with the results. When looking at your pictures on your computer if you zoom in enough you can see the lines of blood in your eyes and the pores on your skin - that is detail for you! If the CMOS sensor is the part of the camera that captures the image then it goes hand in hand with Canon's DIGIC II proccessing (taken from Canon's Pro Series DSLR's) which converts the capture into digital information. This gives noise (grain etc) free images from ISO 100, 200 and 400, and very low noise upto ISO 1600. ISO is the equivalent of film speed on your olden days cameras!
The battery life is exceptional, it does at hundreds of shots and I used it for almost a week on holiday on and off and I still had a better left at the end of it.
This camera is compatible with all Canon EF lenses made to date, including the new EF-S range.
The sofware supplied is now the same as that previously only offered with Canon's Pro Series DSLR's.
The pictures are fast to transfer to the computer (although this may also great depend on your computer) and the camera comes supplied with a lead to connect to your computer so that you can view the pictures you've taken easily (although they may take up a bit of disk space!).
There is also software that comes with that allows you to control your camera from your computer
This is set out clearly and is very easy to use and understand. It give guidance for how to take pictures but if you want to get the most out of the camera you would be better off purchasing a seperate book to tell you how to create different effects etc. It is more than satifsfactory for an instruction manual though.
