Hi! Welcome to the home of the Club 1000D. We started out as a group of owners of Canon 1000D on the Clubsnap Forums. But I think it was fairly obvious fairly quickly that we are not going to be limited to that. The most important thing that kept us together was not the fact that we were proud owners of a Canon EOS 1000D. The most important thing was that we were all newbies and we were all willing to learn and improve. Hence we have since inception been very inclusive. We have ‘members’ who own other Canon cameras. In fact we have members who own non-Canon cameras. As a group we are very proud of the fact that we are a nice, friendly place to start if you are starting on photography.

We started out in the Clubsnap Forums but there are certain limitations to organizing a group strictly on a forum. The forum is pretty much created for photography discussion and it became obvious as the group grew that the normal administration of the group would make it a pain. Hence a couple of us have been toying around with the idea to create a site/blog so we can have a permanent place to store information that would otherwise be hard to find in the many threads on a forum. Some of us call it a ’super-sticky’ section JUST FOR US. This is not to say we are moving away from Clubsnap. In fact, this blog should compliment the forum and allow us to focus our discussions there on photography-related issues and not day-to-day administrative matters.

This site is definitely still in beta. In fact it is probably still in alpha or worse. It has been started as an experiment to see if this will help especially since we have been creating more and more threads all over the place.

So hang on tight and see where we go with this roller-coaster.
