Canon EOS 300 - REBEL 2000 Anonymous
hi there /p/

just a little question from poor starving artist, am looking at buying a Canon EOS 300 - REBEL 2000, second hand. wanted to know if anyone has used the model before and what the quality of the images produced was like.

would ideally be using it for the creation of a portfolio. i would love a top of the line model digital SLR but, this is all i can afford. not too shabby but would love some feed back from anyone familiar with using it

its a great camera for the money. the crux of the quality may depend on what lens you get with it. it beats the shit out of any low to mid upper DSLR when used properly AND it will cost you harly anything secondhand.

yeah i was pretty lucky to find it, it seems to be a good solid little camera with decent quality output so far. will do for now until i can truly splash out.

Go for a used 1D off of ebay, trust me, its full of win. And cheap (1k)

It has depth of field preview, good metering, and it has a weird but great feature of loading your film back during breaks. So if you accidentally open it up, there will be no ruined exposures. Kind of awkward however.


Bad sides, if you can call them that are low level flash sync, plastic(for non digitals I really want metal!), and the interface feels clunky to me, but i'm sure many would disagree.
Just get some good film, most pro's love Velvia ISO50, and I do as well, and some cheap prime lenses. I'm not sure as to how far back you can mount lenses on newer SLRs, but if you can, just get some lenses from the 80's. For primes, the quality will be the same and they're faster anyways. Win/win

Go for it. A litle plasticky-feeling, but reliable light metering and a pretty good autofocus system. Get yourself Canon's 50mm 1.8 lens and some good film and you'll love it.

It's a great camera, I have one and in fact I just got a new Tamron Telemacro lense for it for Christmas. I would recommend it for beginners and even more experienced photographers.

However, it takes some getting used to and the user interface has a pretty steep learning curve if you don't have experience with similar cameras.

Also, the onboard flash isn't very good at all. Don't even try taking pictures at night from further than 10 feet away. I have a Canon Speedlite 420EX on mine and I couldn't be happier with it.

lol, what?. An old 1D isnt worth $1000. there are much cheaper dslrs that will do more AND you will have a years guarantee. the first 1d was good AT THE TIME. now things have moved on and have become much better. $1000, WOW CHEAP.

agreed. get a cheap secondhand 50m USM lens, try to get one of the earlier versions as they use less plastic . but whatever you get it will be good.
