An excellent choice for a true photo lover. Buy Body, do not spare money for a good lens and you will be happy :-))) Different pros: Of course, the most important advantage of 1000d is the price-functionality ratio. All the latest technologies used in DSLRs are here (with the exception of video) plus even a larger pixel in the matrix compared to 450d (which in practice gives less noise). Very comfortable case and control on it. I don’t consider the cheap-looking plastic case to be a disadvantage, since it only looks cheap and nothing more, but in general a very worthy case. A very convenient and useful function of manual focus in LiveView, and in general there are a lot of useful features in the device. Got cons: It depends on what to compare with, if with classmates, then this is only a smaller number of points on autofocus, which is absolutely not critical. When compared with a full-size mirror, this is mainly a smaller matrix size (much more noise) and a lower rate of fire, although people have to pay three to four times more money for these advantages (although it's worth it when they are :-) )). According to personal feelings, this is not a convenient location for the button for checking the depth of field (aperture) and the loud operation of the mirror.
