Walks And Walking – Canon EOS 100D Camera Review – The Perfect Camera For Walkers

Canon have a great new camera that is perfect for walkers and they very kindly sent me one to test out. As I only received it yesterday I took Tedi for a quick trip up to Chingford Plain in Epping Forest to visit the Long Horn Cattle.

Having looked at the range Canon’s EOS 100D is the smallest and lightest DSLR available. Smaller and more compact than a 1L water bottle, and weighing only 407g (less than half a bag of sugar) it’s the ideal take-anywhere camera for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. With a range of clever features built-in, the EOS 100D is perfect for capturing stunning images at the click of a button, while on a long walk or hike through the beautiful English countryside.

The EOS 100D offers a range of simple controls and a helpful in-camera feature guide which makes it easy to use, even for beginners like me. It’s a great option for those looking for the quality of a DSLR but without the bulk normally associated with a larger camera – making it the perfect travel companion for walkers. It also features a range of easy-to-use shooting modes, creative filters and a large touch screen so it’s really simple to adjust settings and capture stunning images with ease.

In addition to all of the above the EOS 100D is capable of shooting at high speeds meaning you can easily capture images while on the move. One of the photos below was taken whilst I was running just in front of Tedi running and it came out perfectly. I was sitting in the long grass when Tedi pointed out the cricket sitting on my walking trousers so I managed to get a few close ups, as well as capturing one in the grass. It’s a shame that Tedi always refuses to look into the camera but managed to get a few snaps of him enjoying the morning.
