Digital Photography Tips

The Canon EOS digital SLR camera range contains a diverse
range of models. Choosing the right type of Canon EOS DSLR
camera will depend on a few fundamental factors:

Photography Skill

As a general rule, the smaller the model number is, the more
professional the EOS camera. For example, the EOS 450D, 500D
or 1000D are ideal for entry-level photographers upgrading
from compact cameras. They offer excellent quality shots and
are very easy to use.

The 40D, 50D and 5D Mark II are great for amateur
photographers and serious enthusiasts. Compared to the
beginner range, they have faster shutter speeds, more robust
bodies and better image quality. Finally the EOS-1D Mark III
and EOS-1Ds Mark III are for true professionals. These are a
standard for many professionals around the world because of
their outstanding durability and superior image quality.
Know your own photography skill levels and choose the right
model accordingly.

Accessories

What type of lenses and flash units is the camera body
compatible with? Even entry-level cameras like the Canon EOS
450D are compatible with over 60EF/EF-S lenses and all EX
Series Speedlite flash units. Budget for accessories
(tripod, lenses and flash) if creative digital photography
is a serious pursuit. If not, ‘enthusiast kits’ – which
usually include starter lens and a camera body – are great
options for beginners.

Frame rate and Continuous Shooting

Unless there is a real intention to pursue a
photojournalism, action or sports photography career
(requiring a digital camera with at least 8 frames per
second, or continuous shooting of at least 40 shots), a
digital camera with 3fps and a burst rate of at least 6
shots will suffice for beginners and amateurs.
