Stuart Ryan has posted his final roundup of the Canon EOS 1000D digital SLR. The verdict? "I really have no reason that I could not recommend this camera to any new budding photographer and could not more highly recommend it. For any person that desires to really have a greater level of creative control over their photos, than they can achieve with a point-and-shoot camera the EOS 1000D seems to me like a great first step."

We are thrilled to read Stuart's feedback. Check his post out for yourself - Stuart discusses everything from the excellent battery life and picture quality to suggestions for future entry-level DSLRs. Stuart also showcases a range of photos he took using the EOS 1000D (chosen from the 4000 images he took on a recent holiday!)

Thanks again Stuart for your valuable thoughts.
