Canon EOS 300D Digital Camera Review

By Ian Bell February 29, 2004

Quote from the review at HardwareZone:

“The Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL is also known as the Canon Digital Rebel in the United States of America and most certainly rebelled against prices set by previous DSLR cameras in the market when it was first introduced. Released in later half of year 2003, the Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL is currently priced at S$1899 (body alone) or S$1999 (kit version) and seem to be the answer for many budget-wise consumers looking for a stepping stone into the realm of digital SLR photography. Similar to the Canon EOS 10D DIGITAL, the Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL boasts a 6.3 megapixel CMOS image sensor along with Canon’s PictBridge support for direct printing on PictBridge compliant printers as well as Canon’s proven DIGIC technology. “

I work with the best people in the world and get paid to play with gadgets. What's not to like?

Canon’s EOS R5 and R6 will dominate mirrorless — and kill the DSLR

Canon EOS R5

Canon is done holding back. Its full-frame EOS R5 and R6 won't just be its best mirrorless cameras, they may well be the best cameras of this generation -- of any brand and any type. Maybe it wasn't Canon's stated goal, but these cameras have what it takes to end DSLRs for good. This isn't a reason to be scared, but excited.

A DSLR pioneer, Canon didn't appear comfortable with this idea before now, but the inevitable death of the DSLR seems to be something the company has finally come to embrace. The EOS R5 and R6 represent a revolutionary leap for Canon, and they're going to make it near impossible to recommend a DSLR to just about anyone.

Don’t upgrade your camera. It won’t make you a better photographer

I recently wrote an article that compared the Fujifilm X-T4 and X-T3. Released just a year-and-half after the X-T3, the X-T4 isn’t a full replacement to its predecessor, but it does include some enticing upgrades. Upgrades that look even more enticing if your current camera is even older, like my now ancient-feeling X-T2.

Four years have passed since the X-T2 was released. That’s a long time in the tech industry. And after the release of the X-T4 in April, I felt an overwhelming pressure to upgrade. But is that really necessary?
A photographic arms race
Today’s camera industry has become overwhelmingly competitive. The rise of the smartphone -- while it wiped out point-and-shoot camera sales -- got more people interested in photography, while YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have given people platforms to display their work. These photographers, videographers, and creators are wanting to move beyond the camera in their pocket and up to something that will let them stand out on these new platforms.

Cheap DSLRs: Huge savings on Canon, Nikon ahead of Mother’s Day

These days with the ubiquity of smartphones and the ever-advancing camera systems within them, most of us don't see the need to carry a separate camera anymore. For the vast majority of people, these cameras have become so good in recent years that it's just not necessary anymore. But there are limits to smartphone cameras, and even the best can't rival the quality of a DSLR.

DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex and is a staple in photographer's setups, both hobbyists and professionals alike. But they're quite expensive, so when good deals come around, it's a good idea to take advantage. If your mom is one that takes pictures of everything, why not consider an excellent affordable DSLR instead? Mother's Day is right around the corner.
