Replaces the EOS 5000 and is better, with plenty of advanced features if you want them. If not, it's as simple to use as a point'n'shoot compact but with the advantage of interchangeable lenses.

I recently bought a number of Canon and Pentax film cameras as I thought I should try different things to see if I like the whole film photography idea. My review will mostly compare the EOS 3000 with the EOS 500n, both acquired on ebay at the same time. Some things will be obviously rooted in the age difference between the two cameras. I found the picture quality to be superior in the EOS 500n in almost all situations. While picture quality in film photography is very much connected to the film you use there's still a lot to say about how well the camera meters when you set it to P or automatic. Focusing is lazier in the 3000, metering was also more accurate in the 500n. Strangely enough the 3000 focuses better in low light in many cases. Build quality and design are definitely better in the EOS 500n. As you're probably looking at this review because you want to buy a used camera, knowing that the plastic on the 3000 is more prone to wear may be useful. Using a newer lens will make the differences between results of the two cameras less visible. After all the seemingly negative feedback I gave I'll close by saying the EOS 3000 is a good camera if you want to give film photography a go. It will help if, like me, you're an art student looking to get his homework done. You'll get accustomed to the camera very easily if you come from a Digital EOS background.Read full review
I wanted something that I could use my Canon EF lenses with to shoot black and white film. Mono film has a quality that digital still can't quite emulate and there are many Canon bargains to be had now that film has largely been superceded by digital. This model offers a fully automatic shooting but includes creative and manual options. Advantage over more expensive models: it's light and small.
I am a keen photographer and photograph in all formats :digital DX,digital FX and film.I have both Canon and Nikon equipments but I did´not have any Canon film body ,so this Eos 3000 was for that gab. It is a lightweight and reliable basic camera without any sophisticated functions but I am satisfied with it ,specially when concidering the very low price about 35€.
