Best budget Canon DSLR

[Adz]

Hey all,

I have a 350d with many lenses. But I find it hard to get my head around the current range.

What is the cheapest model with a full frame sensor, live view (for focusing) and finally, video recording.

Thanks,

[JohnC]

I beleive it may be the 1000D

[Bizibilder]

1000D is now out of production - the replacement is the 1100D - should do all you want.

[milkyjoe]

Either a 1000d or the new 1100d, the latter has the added bonus of 720p video recording. :-D

[ashworthacca]

The 1000d or 1100d have cropped sensors.....not sure on the cheapest full frame model though.

[Zakalwe]

Full frame?

That'd be the 7D at £1200 (ish).

[milkyjoe]

That is a very disturbing profile picture, 'zakalwe' :-| lol

[Psychobilly]

not really the 7D is also crop 5D MkII

[Zakalwe]

not really the 7D is also crop 5D MkII

Whoops...so it is!

@Milkyjoe...... that's me on a good day...

A full frame sensor takes some filling... Premium scope territory to do it justice...

Very true, also APS sized sensors mostly need field flattened optics to do it justice.

Thanks, not much point chasing up a full frame camera on my budget then. I shall be on the look out for 1100D

Keep an eye on: Camera Price Buster - UKs cheapest camera gear for the "best" prices - don't forget to shop around as well but these are pretty good.

Thanks for the link! Any idea what the spanner icon next to some models means?

[Bizibilder]

I think it means "work in progress" ie they have not yet completed their searches.

Warehouseexpress without any doubts at all, I've spent 10's of thousands with them. The others I've no knowledge of

[Adz]

Thanks, I have just seen the 1100D only does 720p at 30fps which I know is ugly...

[BigTfromNotts]

Currys are selling the 1000D at £349.99

[milkyjoe]

Lots of them on ebay, but don't overpay for one; you can grab the body only for less than £300. ;-)

I tried the first link, listed EOS 600D at 688 from Amazon, followed link through actual price £726! And an Amazon reseller. Just bought a 600D today, Jessops are now doing them for 699.99. I had one ordered from Dabs for a month, they were not able to get any stock.

Also be careful if you are buying using a credit card on the net - apparently the credit card insurance isnt valid if you buy through a third party transaction type.

As far as I am aware the cheapest full frame sensorCanon DSLR is the 5D Mark 2 - not cheap at £1600.

I have one for conventional photography and it is amazing.

The cropped sensor DSLR's are good though

[Adz]

Thanks again for all the input guys

I just picked up a Canon 1000d from Argos for £349 with the 18 - 55mm lens kit. Overall i'm very impressed so far. Now to save up for some motors for my mount.
