   Now I’m going to be honest and there are a lot of things going against the 350D mainly because its slightly older, ‘ONLY’ 8MP and quite small.

   Build Quality ***

   The build quality is not the best. It feels cheap and plastic. unlike newer cameras it has no matte finish. However in practice in can take a few knocks and bumps, However I wouldn’t go smashing it on purpose.

   Size and handling *** With Grip *****

   The camera is very small, and if you have smaller hands you may find that an asset. however I don’t have big hands and I find it very difficult to hold with ease. on a more positive note the lay out is logical and can soon become second nature.

   The BG-E3 battery grip improves the size and makes the camera a wonder to hold.

   Image Quality ****

   this camera performs very well and it can contend the 30D with ease. you may look at the MPs and think is that it? However the quality is a huge step up from compact cameras. However I do believe the 30D has a better quality if blown up to 300%

   Features ****

   for the money you pay you get a brilliant spec list. 3 FPS can sort you out in most situations, and with a decent buffer size you can go on for 14 RAW (CR2) images.

   the 7 Focus points are logically placed that looks a bit like

   This is a very good set up is most cases however the corner should have some.

   Value *****
