Hi Guys


I am currently in possession of a 450D and 1000D body.


Which in your opinion would be the better for imaging?


Do any of them suffer “Amp Glow†?


My old 350D suffered from amp glow which was quite a pain as taking darks did not seem to get rid of the problem.


Your views would be beneficial to me


Thanks


Graham

Hi Graham, I use a 1000d and have had no noticeable amp glow. However I bought a double battery pack which fits under the camera and has an empty plastic piece so reduces any battery heat there is. battery pack was £29.99 from Amazon. :)


 


Cheers


Ron

I have both the 1000 and 450d, and I haven't noticed amp glow from either, once the display on the back is turned off.

 

You can also buy a power cable to plug either camera into a 12v cigarette socket. It also prevents any problem with the camera running out of juice during a long session :)
