Figures are based on Canon's testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using an 8GB card. While the lens might be very basic, it’s perfect for beginners and can result in stunning images if used well. The lens offers 3x optical zoom, which can come in handy if you’re trying to get closer to the subject without losing any quality. The zoom and aperture rings on the lens are quite smooth and responsive, making it fairly easy to get used to.

I do want to mention that all images were shot in RAW, where the images come out completely flat. There’s very little colour or contrast, just like the case should be when it comes to RAW files. Editing them in Adobe Lightroom really brings out the detail and depth captured by the 3000D’s sensor. The strongest point of the 3000D’s sensor is the way it renders pleasing skin-tones, especially considering the darker skin-tones we see in India. Another thing the EOS 3000D does well is the way it handles the colour green. For someone who’s starting out, the EOS 3000D will deliver image quality that far exceeds anything you could see from a smartphone or even an advanced point and shoot camera. The limiting factor on the image quality would be the kit lens, which limits the aperture and hence the visual quality. Pairing the EOS 3000D with a nice prime lens is bound to get you far better results and will be a great starting point for anyone venturing into photography, or just wants to elevate their imaging game beyond the smartphone. Please refer to the Instruction manual supplied with your camera for more information about the Auto power off settings. Overall, the Canon EOS 3000D is a great DSLR for beginners and something I would recommend at its price point. The main body comes with standard EF S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens. The lens comes with built-in image stabilization. This might sound like a very basic lens, but for beginners, it can actually work really well if used the right way. It offers 3x zoom and the zoom and aperture rings are smooth and responsive. Performance

The camera offers video recording at 1080p on 30fps, but then that again is not ground-breaking. It’s suitable for some clips of your vacation or for basic YouTube videos. Press the to select the [ ] tab, and then select [Auto power off]. Press the button. The message that appears on the screen differs depending on the computer's operating system or software installed in the computer, and also depending on whether the camera is being connected to the computer for the first time or has been connected previously. All the data above is based on Canon's testing standards and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards and guidelines. The AF is accurate with all the lenses we used the EOS 3000D with, at least during the daytime. Towards the evening, however, the kit lens starts to hunt and by the time we’re in low light situations, the kit lens basically starts losing AF capabilities. When using a Sigma 30 or 50mm prime lens, the AF does improve, which is aided by a larger aperture letting in more light. Additionally, if you were to use a Canon lens which comes with an Ultra Sonic Motor (USM), AF will become faster for sure.Press the to select [Off] from the menu that appears, and then press the button again. As you can probably tell from the sample images attached above, the Canon EOS 3000D is a pretty good performer even when in the hands of a beginner. The camera’s 3fps burst also came in handy while I was trying to capture moving subjects. The EOS 3000D is also capable of shooting 1080p video at 30fps and 720p video at 60 fps. However, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the video quality and I would strongly advice you to use a tripod if you plan on shooting video with the camera. What felt really nice about the Canon EOS 3000D was its incredibly light and compact form-factor. I switched to mirrorless years ago because of how light and compact they were and the Canon EOS 3000D does give me a very similar feeling. Regardless of whether you’re a first time DSLR user or someone buying this after having used a higher-end camera, there is definitely a learning curve involved with regards to the button placement. Canon has also bundled the memory card slot into the battery compartment, which in some ways is good because it eliminates one extra point of weakness. The battery door itself is pretty sturdy, so there’s no reason to be concerned about a combined housing.

On the upside, the lightweight body makes the EOS 3000D the ideal choice for casual photo walks and in my use, I didn’t feel any fatigue while using the camera. Another major design change that Canon has had to make with the EOS 3000D concerns the buttons and the dials on the camera.
