Regular readers will know that I’ve been borrowing a Canon 100D DSLR from Canon-Ireland over the last few weeks. Sadly I got the call I’d been dreading today and the camera has to go back 😦 I knew it was going to happen sometime but I really will miss this wonderful little camera.
It’s the first time I’ve had a DSLR and I always said I couldn’t really see the point as I was happy with my Fuji bridge camera, I’m now firmly converted to DSLR’s now. The 100D is so versatile and I was happy using it in all different conditions for all different kinds of shots.
I hope this blog post will give you an idea of how good a camera it really is. It’s also the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market, which suited me wonderfully as I never leave the house with a camera.
The camera is great with every situation. It’s an 18 megapixel camera so the first one I’ve had where I haven’t had to bump the pixels up.
I’ve taken so many photos with it, it’s hard to pick ones for the blog post.
The only thing I would have liked the camera to have (and this is very minor) is a lens cap tether, because I kept forgetting where I’d put the lens cap.
The camera also takes movies but I was so busy taking photos with it I didn’t get to try the movie setting.
Thank you so much to Canon-Ireland for lending me this wonderful camera. I highly recommend it and if I had the money I would buy it.

We bought a Canon DSLR for our trip and lost the lens cap somewhere in Ireland. So I agree with you – a lens cap tether is a must!
I’m surprised I didn’t lose my one.
You got some fantastic shots with it Val. Yes, a DSLR does help produce quality images but it’s the photographer’s eye who sees them in the first place.
Thanks Mairead 🙂
You’ve done such a good job with this, I think Canon should donate one… 😉
Oh I wish 😉
Your photos are great anyway, but I have been really impressed with the quality of the photos you took with the Canon. Great advertisement!
Thanks 🙂
Lovely pix Val, but you didn’t need a Canon to take great pix in the past either?! Hope you get the camera you want soon.
Thanks Anna, yes I guess you are right. I just really like the quality of these pics, less noise in them.
Your photos are magnificent! Maybe the money will be found for such a camera!
The quality difference between a DSLR and a normal compact really is amazing; but yet I managed taking some of my best pictures using a camcorder! 🙂 The prices for DSLRs have really come down in the last while, so maybe it is worth a look to buy one…
I suppose as the saying goes it’s the camera you have with you at the time that’s the important one 😉
