Especially when a better quality Canon lens is fitted. Dynamic range is wide and the Auto Lighting Optimiser is useful in tricky situations
Such as backlighting. Auto focus and exposure are very fast and accurate. Res...

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...
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...
Continuous shooting ability in RAW very limited (small buffer and low speed), Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent light, Comparatively small viewfinder, Limited exposure compensation range (+/- 2.0 EV), Live vie...
Having helped create the affordable DSLR, Canon has taken a while to respond to the latest, comparatively wallet-friendly offerings from the likes of Nikon and Sony. The 1000D is a pretty convincing response - it does just about everything it needs ...
Our Take Canon’s current DSLR line is in our estimation the best of the entry offerings. However, the XSi is priced more like the Sony A350 and Nikon D80 than the entry models from both these manufacturers. The XSi competes well against these pric...
Abstract: Stepping out in the the highly competitive glare of the entry-level dSLR market is Canons new 10 Megapixel snapper, the EOS 1000D.The compact dSLR packs a 7-point wide area AF system, 2.5" LCD and continuous JPEG shooting ratcheting up to 3fps until t...
Abstract: As I reported here last month (Rebel XS rumors), the Digital Rebel XS is real and Canon have officially released information on it. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS will be known as the EOS 1000D outside the USA. It appears to be something of a hybri...
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...
With this being a basic model aimed at budding photographer looking for an introduction to DSLR photography, the Canon EOS 1100D was never intended to set the world on fire with new technology. The improvements Canon has made internally to this Canon 1...
The 1000D is a fantastic camera, packed with features and enviably upgradeable. For beginners, the Nikon D3000's on-screen help system will surely win out. And, while the 1000D's test images suggest marginally better high-ISO performance than the D3000, t...
