Canon EOS IX Lite Film Camera

Pros: Compatible with all Canon EOS lens, more advanced features than typical APS camera, Current price is a steal
Cons: Masking of panoramic and hdtv sizes is impossible to see in the dark, no depth of field preview, no multiple exposures

I purchased the Canon EOS IX because I wanted a step up from my Pentax IQ Zoom 90wr point and shoot. The ergonomics on this camera is great. It exudes quality. I only had to read the manual for a few minutes and was able to take some great shots. I...

Pros: good looking, lightweight, great features
Cons: control ergonomics could be better

This is a great camera for the amateur photographer who isn't a quality perfectionist but still wants control and flexibility that can't be found in a point-and-shoot.

I am hardly even what you call an amateur photographer. I mostly...

Pros: small, light, easy-to-use
Cons: limited film choice

The Canon EOS IX Lite has two main audiences: those who are looking to upgrade from a point-and-shoot camera, and those who are already invested in the Canon EOS system and are interested in the APS film format.

FOR A BEGINNER

I...

Pros: Ease-of-use; cost, lens selection, features.
Cons: Film speed choices; no multiple exposures; no slide film available.

I compared 35mm and APS SLR cameras and decided to go with the APS SLR option. I purchased the EOS IX because of its feature set and its reasonable price. The great prices you will find on the camera are due to the fact that is has been discontinued by...

Pros: Value, very good picture quality for APS, uses standard Canon lenses
Cons: Slightly grainy pictures

I bought this camera in April last year, with a Sigma 28-80 lens, for a price of $300! Since then it has taken excellent pictures, the only thing I have upgraded is the lens - I bought a long zoom lens - a Canon 75-300 USM Mk III. The picture quality is...

Pros: APX film, great preset functions, built in flash
Cons: normal SLR lenses won't fit body

I've had this camera for about 8 months so far and have enjoyed playing around with all of the different functions offered to get some unique pictures. I received this camera as a graduation present and had the first opportunity to use it at a friend's...

Pros: Very compact, intuitive, solid feel
Cons: For this price, most will stay with 35mm

I bought the IX as a kit with the 24-85 lens and paid about $100 more than the lens alone would have cost. I was shopping for a wide angle zoom for my other Canon 35mm bodies and thought, "why not get the IX body for $100!" My wife had used an...

Pros: size, features, ease of use
Cons: enlargement limitations due to APS format

My purchase of this camera was a perfect example of "curiosity killing the cat" :) I've been shooting 35MM for a number of years, and already owned a Canon EOS Rebel XS--but I thought that the ideas behind APS were unique and I love the idea...

Pros: Durable and easy to use
Cons: With all the extra's, kinda expensive

The Canon EOS IX was the first real camera I have ever had (first non-one use, not Polaroid camera) and I love it. The first thing I like is the APS format. Another thing I love is the durability. It's built as solid as a rock. This camera is...

Pros: This is a WONDERFUL camera with lots of great features.
Cons: Uses APS film.

First, I'll review this CAMERA. I LOVE the CAMERA. It has a lot of really neat features. It is a really lightweight SLR with everything a begining photographer needs. It's about the cost of an expensive pont and shoot yet offers complete control over...

Pros: Nearly all the APS benefits with SLR.
Cons: Small size is negated by any lens used.

I was tired of the limitations on point-n-shoot cameras, so I wanted a camera I could manipulate. Yet, I also wanted a fairly compact camera I could take with me, without getting in the way. I like the aspect ratio APS offers, and since I don't intend...

Pros: Good quality brand, great combination of technologies
Cons: Not the cheapest out there, APS not ideal for big blow ups

You will be told by photo experts that APS cameras are not for the serious photographer. Hmm... they're probably right - sort of.

If you are a true photo aficionado or professional, then you want to stick to the ole' 35mm SLRs and not...

Pros: APS, Lightweight, Solid, 3 Picture Formats
Cons: Doesn't have *all* APS features

I bought this camera new to photography. I am extremely happy with my purchase. At first I was a little worried about the quality of APS Film, there seems to be alot of negative reviews of APS by the 35MM Die Hards. After shooting a couple rolls of...

Pros: Super easy, great pictures, light weight
Cons: Processing currently more expensive but coming down in price.

Ease of use (make that "dummy" proof) and the ability to add zoom lenses were my top considerations in purchasing a new camera. I had grown tired of having 100's of soccer pictures where my kids looked like blurred dots on green. I...

Pros: lightweight/kit
Cons: aps limitations/slow lens

The Canon EOS IX lite kit combines the ultra compact, lightweight elegant Advanced Photo System SLR camera with complimentary accessories. The camera itself has many features, including a high speed selectable 3 point autofocus sytem, and AIM, a Canon...
