Advantages: Easy to use with manual overide
Disadvantages: No external flash connection
The EOS 300D/Rebel, what a great bit of kit, I sold my old Bronica medium format setup to buy this camera. Not disappointed in the slightest apart from the flash positioning, when taking close-up photos.
It only took around a day to familiarise myself with EOS 300, which is all credit to the Canon quick guide and simple to use menu. The EOS 300 is very light considering it is a full size SLR camera, even with a 200 mm lens, but robust (after dropping mine twice).
The auto-focus system is accurate and easy to use, helping you to achieve the depth of field, maybe a few too many beeps!
The manual over-ride control dial allows you to set the camera's automatic ISO setting and at the same time setting the correct film speed. The EOS300 gives you a wide range of choices from full manual to fully automatic, allowing you to dial to what type of photograph you are taking (portrait, landscape, Macro, sports, night-time) and the camera then works out the shutter speed against the light conditions.
The EOS300's built-in popup flashgun is ok for family snaps and removing shadows in bright sunlight, but you will need separate flashgun for serious indoor photography. The 10 second self-timer is very useful and is great for tripod work to avoid shaking the camera in low light conditions.
Overall a great looking and easy to use camera producing some of my best pictures.
Summary: Great value for money with excellent results

- 29/09/05 I'm confused. The Eos 300 isn't a digital, yet you say it is in your title. It also sounds like you don't really much about your camera. I can only rate this as not useful as in it's present form, it's confusing.
