The “live view” is ridiculous. The user guide recommends manual focussing in live view and yet Canon claim that they include the function because compact camera owners trading up to a DSLR demand it. But when they find that by holding the came...

Rebel XSi only costs a little more, Small, slippery right hand grip, Very slow contrast detect AF in live view mode; nearly useless in low light, Live view not available in all shooting modes, LCD and optical viewfinder both on the small side, Sluggish...
The Canon EOS Rebel XS (also known as the EOS-1000D) is a very competent entry-level digital SLR. It takes photos of excellent quality, its responsive, and it offers a host of useful features. Its biggest problem is that its big brother, the Rebel XS...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 1000D is Canon's 'gap-filler' answer for the entry level market. It makes up one of a trio of cameras that also includes the 400D and 450D...
Abstract: The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a decently priced, entry-level SLR that scored well across our entire panel of tests, especially with regards to low light and dynamic range. It has Live View mode to help ease point-and-shoot users into the more advanced wor...
Abstract: The EOS 1000D is Canons convincing answer to the competition, and it again places them in the highly competitive segment of the entry-level D-SLR camera. It are only minor details that make the difference between the EOS 450D and the Canon 1000D, howe...
Ergonomics and finish, value for money, menu infrastructure, small buffer, some WB issues.

The EOS 1000D is a solid addition to Canons extensive range of DSLR cameras, filling the gap at the sub-£500 / $700, entry-level price-point. Canon have cleverly ensured that its different enough to the more expensive 450D to tempt you to upgrade, y...

Excellent photo quality for its class; solid performance.
Maximum ISO of 1600; no spot meter; annoying, in-viewfinder, focus-point display.

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...
