  1. Thank you…..

  2. my fault, my english ain’t that perfect. I think there is no meaning for “objective cab” in english :-) . Of course…. Lens cap.

  3. @ShizzlaNo1 thanx buddy!!!, but can i ask, whats the objective cab?

  4. Hi Monkey ! I got the EOS 450D and i tested it. I leaved the Objective cab on my camera and the auto ISO went up to 800 ! So i aint got any problems with that.

  5. hi, can anyone help me: on canons website it says the 450d has an auto-iso of 100-400, but the 1000d has 100-800. i know on both u can manually go higher but surely thats a big problem with the 450d for it not to go automatically to 800?? also whats the auto ISO of the d3000. thhhhaaaankkks

  6. @MrJacobFennell
    Live View is a great feature to have just in case you need it for some reason. I thought I would be using it a lot but in fact I’ve hardly ever used Live View lol

  7. Some people say that having the Live View is stupid for an slr, but i think its a really good idea. I like having the option.

  8. very helpful! thank you! =)

  9. no, but you can make some kinda “hack” where you just get the live view @ the Computer and then you can record it. It’s not HD but very good quality.

  10. @tehDL I wiil dude, thanks for advice.

  11. It sort of makes a dry scraping noise, its just a crappy mechanism. Try an expensive lens out and you’ll feel the difference.

  12. @tehDL

    Does yours make the dusty sound too. Do you think its actually dust or just something with the seal or something?

  13. @brokenchopstickz NO..but the T1i does which is the next one up

  14. you have to get into custom function (C. Fn) to do some setting first. Going to Custom Function (C. Fn) select Function 8 (auto focus) and turn on the mode by choosing one of them 1. is the quick mode which will do the same thing he showed at 3:50. Choosing 2 will do what he showed after 6:30

  15. Someone help please? I’m trying to copy what he does at 3:50 but i’m encountering problems.
    1. I dont have the two ‘squares’ that he has on the live view,only one,why is this?
    2. he says to press the AE AF button in the top right of the body, I press the AE button and nothing happens? As for the AF button,the only one i can find is on the lens itself,which is switched on? This is frustrating as it stays out of focus, please help cameralabs?

  16. @brokenchopstickz Nope!

  17. does it take HD videos? jus curious!

  18. this is part was very helpful 3:35 about the live view thanks!

  19. mine does that too, its just part of having a cheap lens… Not smooth..

  20. @humberto0984646

    The Auto Focus button you will find in the lens with two settings namely AF/MF

    AF – Auto
    MF – Manual

  21. yeah, and physically, if we take a good look at the “rebel” sticker in the camera body, it kinda destroys the already great and simple aesthetics of the camera.

  22. wheres the auto focus button? i can’t find it?

  23. I agree, it is annoying. I think they do it for the very popular models to identify their country of origin. So if you’re in the UK and you see an XSi for sale, you know it’s an import.

  24. why would these great entry-level dslrs be named differently in some places? why “rebel X—”? wouldn’t it be great to just call these cameras by their well-known “—D” names?

  25. Hi Gordon I have recently bought this camera and it is fantastic for what I want.

    However I have noticed that when I turn the zoom ring of the 18-55mm IS Kit lens it makes a mild grinding noise presumably because of trapped dust.

    I was wondering whether you know of any way I can get it out without, rather than having to send it away to Canon.
