Been using this as my only camera (with 50mm lens) for ~13 years. While it has many cons, and misses out on many features, I have an emotional bond with it which isn't allowing me to dispose it. The 50mm transformed this camera for me. The kit lens was trash, I haven't used it since I got the 50. The strong point of this setup is daylight portrait shots. The color tones, saturation and sharpness is perfect when shooting in golden light at around f4.0. That is the sweet spot. I definitely wont get rid of it even if I get a new camera. If you're a beginner who wants to get into portraits, go for this, its probably the cheapest setup you can get that takes impressive portraits. (Its not suitable for shooting kids / fast moving objects though)
@@leonpeonleon I'd say yes it's quite capable for cars and moving stuff. It all depends on how you use it, and if you can be satisfied with a low frame rate. If that's OK for you, then certainly, it can do the job, otherwise go for slightly more expensive 50D or something like that.
picked up a 1000D for 60 bucks and I've been having a lot of fun with it, and learned a lot. Think I'll pick up a t6i once I learn all the ropes and want something better
Thanks for your comment. I think t6i is named 750D in Europe, but if may advice you, I would pick up one from the two digit line (in Europe - don't know what they are called in txx naming), if you can get one for a reasonable price. They are semi professional and gives much better opportunity for expanding your photography knowledge, when you are beyond the entry level cameras - like the 1000D.
@@Zack-xz1phYes that line. I have owned several like 20D, 40D, 50D, and 60D and been very happy with those. I haven't tried the newer ones like 80D, as I changed to the 7D, 5D, and 1DX line for my professional work.
Can someone please help me i have this exact camera and all my photos keep coming out looking really old like they were taken 15 years ago i need a fix someone please help me
@@sihlemkhize60 No I don't think so, the images can come out amazing. The only time you'll see the age is if there is huge contrast in the images or if you enlarge them so crazy big sizes. Otherwise this camera should do very fine images.
