Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD

Took the plunge on the EOS100D + the 18-55 STM lens after lugging around an EOS60D in the hot weather earlier this summer. Totally justified the money spent on this. The camera is a joy to use, the lens is sharp and so much better built than the older 18-55 standard lenses. The 4 stop IS in this lens gives sharp pictures where logic says they ought to be blurred and the stepper motor (STM) focussing is unobtrusive - fast and silent. The whole outfit is so small and light it's so easy to take it everywhere while away from home where before one might have just carried a compact or nothing.Wonderful photos, even up to ISO 3200 indoors. If you're used to using EOS cameras just pick it up and start shooting - it just works. With the touch screen a beginner would soon be up and running as well. The small battery doesn't mean a short life, it's good for 400 shots I found. No ergonomic problems with the small body, although it does look a bit odd with a big L series lens on the front it works fine.Don't think the 60D will be getting a lot of use now.....Consider getting also an EF-S 18-135 STM lens for travel, that one lens will do everything well and it's still a very portable option with the 100D body.Highly recommended.

I bought this camera as a smaller option to my semi pro stuff for when I didn't want to carry my larger kit around or I wanted to look less conspicuous.I've tried top end bridge cameras, including Canons own SX50, SX30 and Panasonic FZ1000 etc, and always been slightly disappointed with the results, particularly with noise at lower light levels, even though the flexibility and features are excellent.I considered a mirror less camera but the reviews on the net haven't been too great either.This is a different matter. The results I get with the 100D are excellent. It is completely compatible with all my EOS (EF-S) lenses and Canon flashguns and is much much smaller and lighter than the 7D, 5D etc.I recently took it to the motorbike show at the NEC and was amazed at the results I got, being close to the quality of the 7D and 70D as far as the images are concerned.It doesn't have some of the snazzy features of the higher end cameras, like a top LCD, weatherproofing etc., but for a smaller option to carrying around the fuller size DSL-Rs and still having the best of both worlds in terms of lightness, size, and image quality it is the best option I have come across so far.

The Canon EOS100D is a very nice, very small DSLR. I also own an EOS7 which costs nearly three times as much, and the results from the 100D are evry bit as good. There small size takes a bit of getting used to, but once you put a lens on it, there is plenty to get hold of. I know from experience that it can be quite uncomfortable carrying a heavy camera around all day, and the lightness of the 100D is very welcome in this respect. Despite being light, it feels very robust and well made and the polycarbonate case feels almost the same as Canon's more expensive magnesium bodied cameras.there are two things I don't like. Firstly, the camera is a bit patronising! Every time you change a setting it explains what the new setting is used for, as if you know nothing about cameras. This is a waste of time. Perhaps you can turn it off, but I haven't looked at the DVD handbook, so I'm not sure. There is a small but quite comprehensive instruction book as well as a DVD so you don't need to use the DVD unless you really want to know everything about the camera.The other thing I don't like is the batty case cover. It feels flimsy, so you would need to be careful when using it. Cards are also accessed using this cover. So you will be opening it quite often. A shame really because it spoils an otherwise quality product, and is the reason why I have only awarded four stars. It's not a major problem however, so don't be put off by this.The shutter allows 4 frames per second. I thought I might find this a bit slow compared to my EOS7 but it's fine and in fact I have difficulty just taking one shot when it's set to multi- shoot.To summarise- an excellent camera, particularly for someone with small hands and also a worthwhile buy as a second camera when you want something a bit compact without sacrificing quality
