Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel XS

By June 2008

Award: Highly Recommended!

When Canon launched the EOS 300D back in 2003 it was widely regarded as the first affordable digital SLR and secured Canon a seemingly indomitable number-one spot in the market. Since then the 'small' Canon has gone through three further iterations ...

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 ...

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 ...

Note that throughout this preview we will refer to the EOS 1000D by its European name; if you live in other parts of the world you'll know the camera by Rebel XS or Kiss F Digital, but they're all essentially the same camera. Canon has now...

By Tim Barribeau

The EOS Rebel XS (1000D in other territories) is Canon's newest entry level SLR. Physically similar to the Rebel XSi, it offers 10-megapixel resolution, a 2.5" LCD and Live View mode. Priced at $699 with a bundled 18-55mm lens, the XSt impressed us ...

Good low light and dynamic range score ; Access to a wide range of lenses ; Live View and strong automatic mode make it friendly for new users ; Decent results for an entry-level SLR

Plastic rather than rubber grips ; Average color and resolution scores ; Barely less expensive than the XSi ; Nospot metering

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 ...

Based on the Rebel XSi, it’s marginally cheaper and less powerful, with a resolution of 10 megapixels versus 12 for the XSi, a smaller 2.5” LCD screen. At the same time it’s only barely cheaper than the Rebel XSi, and is more...

Canon EOS 1000D / Rebel XS

By Gordon Laing

The EOS 1000D, or Digital Rebel XS as it's known in North America, is Canon's latest entry-level DSLR. It's the true successor to the best-selling EOS 400D / Rebel XTi and positioned below the EOS 450D / Rebel XSi which was launched six months earlier

Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A300., Screen fixed in position, unlike A300., Slow RAW continuous shooting., Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A300., Screen fixed in position, unlike A300., Slow RAW continuous shooting.

We tested a final-production Canon EOS 1000D / XS, running firmware version 1.0.3. Following our convention of testing cameras using their factory default settings unless otherwise stated, the EOS 1000D / XS was set to Large Fine JPEG quality, Auto ...

Physically speaking the new EOS 1000D / XS is a slightly different shape to its predecessor, and closer to the recent 450D / XSi; indeed it also shares the same battery pack as the 450D / XSi along with its optional grip and a swap from Compact...

Canon EOS 1000D Review

Award: Highly Recommended!

The Canon EOS 1000D (also known as the Digital Rebel XS) is the new entry-level model in Canon's extensive range of digital SLR camera. The 1000D inherits features from both the more expensive EOS 450D and the older EOS 400D cameras. It has an almost ...

Compared to the likes of the Sony A200, Nikon D60 and Olympus E-420, the new 1000D offers a little more, but for a little more money - the street price was hovering at around 450 / $700 when writing this review, significantly more than its main ...

Canon EOS 1000D review

By Dennis Hissink
