Canon EOS 1000D Competitors

As well as being compared against other entry-level DSLRs, the Canon EOS 1000D is also often compared to pro DSLRs and super zooms. The Canon EOS 1000D's top rivals come from Canon (such as the EOS 1100D and the EOS 550D) and Nikon (such as the D3100 and the D3000)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon 1000D compared to other entry-level DSLR competitors include: it has a built-in focus motor and is thinner (2.6" vs 2.9").

However, on average it doesn't record movies (none vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a much smaller screen (2.5" vs 3.0"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 1,040k dots), takes significantly lower resolution photos (10.1 MP vs 14.2 MP) and slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 6,400 ISO).
