Canon Digital SLR EOS 300D

Features :

High Image Quality

.	High-resolution 6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor for professional quality images. Images can be enlarged up to A1 size (equivalent to 8 A4 Size) for poster quality display

.	High-performance DIGIC Imaging Processor - for greater picture quality and fast processing speed.

.	Store images in several JPEG compression qualities or Canon's proprietary RAW compression mode which compresses image file with no lost of details

High-speed performance

.	Fast continuous shooting at 2.5 frames per second so you won't miss any scene.

Perfect Focus All The Time

.	7 selectable auto-focusing (AF) points ensures that your subject is in focus regardless where it is place within the viewfinder.

.	'One-shot AF' gives you fast and accurate centre-focused shots .

.	'AI servo AF' tracks your moving subject and keeps it in focus constantly, which is most suitable for sports photography.

.	Manual focus override is selectable from the lens.

High Adaptability For Different Shooting Conditions

.	5 creative zones to control the camera's aperture and shutter speed settings to create special effects. (Program AE, Shutter-speed priority AE, Aperture-Priority AE, Manual and Depth-of-field)

.	7 preset image zones automatically select the best camera settings for the selected image composition. (Auto, Portrait, landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait and Flash Off )

.	Selectable ISO settings to adjust the CCD's sensitivity to light (100-1600).

Complete Mastery of Light

.	35-zone metering covers the entire viewfinder to give you an accurate assessment of the amount light.

.	3 metering modes (evaluative, centre-weighted, spot) to evaluate the lighting within the viewfinder and select the best exposure for the ideal shot.

.	8 white balance mode to reproduce natural colour and skin tones under different lighting conditions (auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, tungsten, white fluorescent, flash and custom)

.	Selectable speed range of 1/4000 - 30 seconds, bulb and high-speed x-sync at 1/200s for different lighting needs.

.	A built-in automatic flash pops up to give you sufficient lightings under dim conditions.

Pick and choose the perfect shot

.	Auto Exposure Bracketing automatically takes 3 shots of the same scene with different exposure settings.(±2 EV in 1/3 Step increments)

.	Auto White Balance Bracketing automatically takes 3 shots of the same scene with different lighting settings (warm, normal and cool)

Full Creative Controls

.	Allows for manual setting of processing parameters - either Adobe RGB or standard sRGB - to optimise the image for printing

.	Optional wired or infra-red wireless remote control is available for complete control of the camera even when you're not at the scene

Changeable Lenses and Optional Accessories

.	Select from over 60 EF and EF-S lenses, from ultra-wide angle to telephoto zoom.
