Outline/Reviews

Making digital SLR photography accessible

Outstanding image definition

The EOS 300D's 6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor provides stunning image resolution, allowing detailed prints to be made up to A3. Canon's high-performance, purpose built DIGIC processor links all key camera functions together and allows for high-speed continuous shooting. Images can be recorded simultaneously in both RAW and JPEG formats for greater post-shooting flexibility.

Wide-area AF

Wide-area 7-point AF allows accurate auto-focus on any one of 7 focus points within the viewfinder. Focus points can be chosen manually or automatically.

Precise exposure control

You can choose between 35-zone evaluative metering (linked to the selected AF point), centre-weighted average or partial metering for complete exposure control.

The EOS 300D has a shutter speed range from 1/4000 second to 30 seconds. Together with an ISO range from 100 – 1600, it can capture images across a wide range of lighting conditions.
