[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've had the EOS300D for 3 weeks now, and I must say I'm very impressed, OK the 18-55mm EF-S lens supplied in the bundle is not too hot wide open, Sigmas and Tamrons and the prime Canon lenses I have for an EOS 500N all work perfectly on it, only one complaint, as far as I can find out it's not SCA compatible (only E-TTL flash capability, my Metzes are all A-TTL). I'm now considering a Leica on EOS adapter, either Novoflex or Cameraquest, anybody used either of these ? BTW the software is pretty intuitive, and I can really recommend shooting in RAW mode,the possibilities of rescuing a duff shot are incredible - change the colour temperature, contrast, colour, change the exposure parameters and, and and ......... If you've ever used another EOS/Rebel model the change to digital is no problem at all.
