I study photography, and really like this camera
At the moment, I'd say that the price is reasonable, especially compared to the newer EOS models - it is only an earlier model, and is a cheaper alternative to the others, especially if you don't need all the extra features

This camera is generally really easy to use, for example it is very easy to attach and remove different lenses, and nowhere near as fiddly as other cameras. It is also really easy to switch on and off, and alternate between different features.

There are lots of different modes like other similar cameras, where you can change the exposure, iso and aperture etc. There is also a setting where you can create your own mode to shoot, and alter the settings which is very useful.

The camera looks nice, is all black, and comes with a strap. The battery life is also very good - I find I don't have to recharge it very often, and the battery generally recharges very quickly.

The camera is also very reliable - it has always been very good. I've had it for a while now, and found it to be one of the best cameras I've had.

It also connects with a computer very easily through the regular canon cable. The quality of the photos are very good, so don't be turned off the camera because it 'only' has 10 mega pixels. Also, as mega pixels refers to the size of the image, not the quality, don't be fooled into paying £100s more for a camera with 2 more mega pixels!

This camera is really good, and I would recommend it to anyone - one thing it doesn't have is a video camera, but if you don't need one, this camera is a great alternative to the pricer, later EOS models
