I bought the Canon EOS300 35mm SLR camera with the 28-90mm lens from a family friend for only £60!! They had only shot a dozen or so rolls of film through it, so it was practically brand new.
My previous camera was a Praktica MTL5-B, from which I had about 15 years service. It is now leaking light slightly.
The EOS 300 is a great camera. The amount of features it packs in is impressive. Those that are unfamiliar with photography can easily take good snaps with this when in full auto ...

Canon EOS300 - Tends to overexposure for no real reason. I lost a lot of lovely photos because of this. I took a picture of 3 people standing in a line in the same lighting and 2 were overexposed and 1 was not...strange.
Also some photos are not as sharp as other SLR cameras I have used such as Nikon and Pentax. I am quite disappointed with the quality as it came highly recommended. I will be selling my camera and investing in a quality Nikon now. I'm not sure about buying a Canon camera ...

I'm relatively new to photography and was advised to buy the Canon EOS300 after I'd mistakingly bought a second hand AE1 Program. The EOS 300 is a brilliant little camera and is so easy to use. Even loading a new film into it has been made idiot proof.
I'd recommend the EOS 300 to any one who is thinking about photography as a hobby, but is stuck on what camera to go out and buy.

My first SLR and I've been really happy with it. Some of the pictures I have taken with the Canon EOS300 reside framed on my wall, although like most learners there are 50 awful shots for every one of these. Definitely user error rather than the camera though. The metering on mine also seems pretty accurate unlike a couple of other reviews/comments on here.
I like the way you can stick it into full auto mode and snap away like you can with a disposable one minute, yet have full control over ...

The full manual/auto option with precise focus even in darkness let all range ages to shoot with this valuable camera, I personally advise all semi prof. and amateures to have one of EOS300.
For better result in tele ranges use single 90-300mm canon lense. However a 28-90 mm lense is included in the EOS300 package. 1 year guaranty insures you of any detections due to manufacturer.
In full auto option My 4 year old child can shoot us a perfect picture!!

I have used Canon SLRs for 25 years now and upgraded to two EOS 300 with Canon 28 - 90 and 70 - 300 lenses a year ago. Initially I found that I was getting about 1/3 stop under exposure which caused problems with transparency work. I had both cameras and the lenses recalibrated under warranty.
I have found the gear to be reliable and quick to use under all conditions and am very happy with the quality. I also have a dedicated flashgun to give me more power than the built in unit. This was ...

Sharp images are not possible, with manual or automatic focus. Expensive. I will never buy Canon again!

I had this camera for two years or so.
Autofocus works well and fast in most situations. I succeeded to shoot in total darkness due to the built-in pre-focus illumination.
It has DOF (Depth-of-Field) preview, which is normally associated with higher-end cameras.
Has opposite mode of sequence of picture shooting: the new film is initially prewinded to the take-up spool and then is rewinded to the original cartridge as you shoot your pics. This prevents the shots of being exposed if the camer ...

The body of the Eos 300 is light, not expensive and has many features. Because the body is small, I use the Batterypack BP300 with second exposure button. I use two very good Sigma lenses 28/105 mm and 70 / 300 mm. I think they are better than the Canon standard lenses.

The Canon EOS 300 is a great 35mm SLR camera. I had high expectations when I got it, I'm pleased to say it surpassed them :-)
Very versatile, excellent quality pics and a great price, I'd recommend it to amateur and pro alike. 10/10

This EOS300 35mm SLR camera from Canon is a great little camera, easy to use but produces very good quality pictures. As yet I haven't had to compensate the light meter, even for backlight subjects, and the pop-up flash gives very good results.
The colours on the prints are excellent and the red-eye reduction works a treat!
I would recommend this camera to anyone who is on a budget, but wants a camera that gives quality results.
