Canon EOS1100D – Bold by Robert Blume
As it stands, the 1100D is a good camera to buy for upgraders from a 1000D, or even Nikon shooters with a D60 who want to change over. If you are using a compact camera and looking to upgrade to a dSLR, the 1100D will expand your shooting possibilities, but remember that investing in lenses is a cost that you should consider, and the kit lens does not do the sensor justice.
Even as the lowest rungs of the dSLR ladder become a fiercely competitive space, canon dslr fans have had a lot to gripe about. There’s been a steady inflow of joy in the opposite camp though as Nikon has introduced entry-level after entry-level. The D60, D3000 and D3100 all followed in reasonably quick succession, while Canon chose to stick with their comparatively ancient EOS 1000D. Launched on the 10th of June, the 1000D has enjoyed a good, no great innings and together with the D60/D3000, brought Digital Slr cameras to the Indian masses.
But dSLRs aren’t meant to be updated every few months, and while Nikon obviously intended to make a dent in Canon sales with newer offerings. After all, we’re consumers who buy stuff, and then like to see it obsolete within 6 months, right? Planned obsolescence is evilâ
