Image quality up with the best 10 Mpixel DSLRs, Accurate Live View with contrast-AF option, Kit includes stabilised lens, PC remote control software supplied.
Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A300, Screen fixed in position, unlike A300, Slow RAW continuous shooting, Some features downgraded from 400D / XTi.
here’s how the 1000D / XS measures-up. Compared to Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi We’ll start with the EOS 400D / XTi, the camera it replaces to become the new entry-level DSLR in Canon’s range. The 400D / XTi shares the same core speci...
Great results even with default settings, Good tonal response and dynamic range, Picture styles provides good control over image output (and prove consistent across models), Typical Canon CMOS noise-free images, remain detailed even at high sensitivities...

Great results even with auto settings, Images remain detailed even at high ISO, Lots of external shortcut controls
Compare Prices, The Canon EOS Rebel XS is the manufacturer's cheapest DSLR camera, and it is very much aimed as a "first DSLR" camera for photographers looking to advance beyond the typical point and shoot, It's $200 cheaper than Canon's next step up camera, the Rebel T2i, and it lacks some of the features that makes the T2i such a good camera. But is it a good beginner's camera?
This is a solid little camera that I would have no hesitation in recommending to those looking for a first DSLR camera. Canon has been smart with this camera and has, in many respects, just gently toned down the specifications of its higher-priced mod...
