20. Conclusions

To Summarize, The Pros And The Cons

So far, the EOS 300D is quite simply the best digital camera currently on the market (taking all categories into account) in terms of value for money. It's a good idea to know this first before looking at what else is out there. The images are of excellent quality (colorimetric, contrast, exposure, definition, noise) and the reactivity of the camera makes it a perfectly operational SLR camera.

Its limitations are the result of the fact that it is aimed at the "amateur" photographer. The plastic casing is too flimsy, the fine-tuning (AF type or light meter) are based on the mode chosen, and there is some concern as to the major difference between the weight of professional lenses and that of the camera box itself. Then there is the absence of a synchro connector, a viewfinder that only shows 95% of the final picture, etc. None of this would be indispensable for the "basic" amateur photographer.

In the end, the little Canon is thus a perfectly recommendable camera, which will delight many people. As a digital camera, it has a great future.
