Canon EOS 1100D: Verdict
With this being a basic model aimed at budding photographer looking for an introduction to DSLR photography, the Canon EOS 1100D was never intended to set the world on fire with new technology.
The improvements Canon has made internally to this Canon 1000D replacement are more than welcome, and well overdue, especially in the area of high ISO performance. In this respect the EOS 1100D blows its predecessor out of the water, bringing this camera's image quality at high ISO settings in-line with other contemporary models from higher up the pecking order.
With the Canon 1100D UK price at just over £400 with the standard non-stabilised lens, the Canon EOS 1100D represents a solid, good value choice in a no-frills package that is certainly more than capable of producing excellent results.
Considering the features added to improve ease of use, this camera should find a home in many a beginner's kit bag, and even maybe in the camera kits of some more advanced photographers.
We liked
With the Canon 1100D priced at just over £400, it represents great value for money.
Solid improvements over its predecessor, the Canon EOS 1000D, make this camera very easy to use and quite capable of producing quality results.
We disliked
While we like the Canon 1100D price at just over £400, you do get a sense of this in the camera's build quality.
Though it's much-improved internally over the Canon 1000D, the EOS 1100D is ultimately a beginner camera and one you might quickly outgrow.
