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. 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. Seeking the best printer for your business?

The EOS 3000D sports nine phase detect AF points, in which one is a cross-type sensor for more accurate focusing. The autofocus performed well in our lab tests in bright light and even in challenging subjects. The Auto Lighting Optimizer comes with four different setting Off, Low, Standard, and Strong. It enhances the processing to even out the contrast and correct brightness. Only, it struggles in lowlight conditions, where we noticed noise in the shots.

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.

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.If you're thinking about starting off with photography, the Canon EOS 3000D might be a decent option if you're on a very tight budget, but it does have its flaws like a very slow burst rate and poor high ISO performance.

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. Figures are based on Canon's testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using an 8GB card. Overall, the Canon EOS 3000D is a great DSLR for beginners and something I would recommend at its price point.
