Canon Rebel XS (black, with 18-55mm lens) review

By Lori Grunin (cnet.com)

Excellent photo quality for its class ; solid performance

Maximum ISO of 1600 ; no spot meter ; annoying, in-viewfinder, focus-point display

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.

Canon EOS 1000D Rebel XS Review Round-Up

By Photocrati Staff (photocrati.com)

The 1000D does just about everything it needs to do, and everything it does, it does well. It can produce great images at any of its ISO settings and, viewed as a whole, makes a great first DSLR. Canon seems to have gently toned-down the specification ...

Canon EOS Rebel XS - A Review of the Canon EOS Rebel XS Digital Camera

By Dana Wollman (laptopmag.com)

Very good image quality, Fast focusing and shot-to-shot speeds, Automatic sensor-cleaning system, Intuitive interface

Relatively small LCD, Fewer manual options than other entry-level DSLRs, Live View settings difficult to access, No ISO 3200

Like other cameras in its class, the Rebel XS' Live View created a four-second shot-to-shot lag, including a pause as the screen goes dark. Without Live View, there was virtually no shutter lag.

The Camera has intuitive controls with dedicated buttons for almost any option. This means less time trying to navigate thru menus, more time taking pictures. Vibrant screen

MegaPixel count close to on market point-and-shoots, flash can be sluggish to recharge if taking a series of quick shots

Manufacturer's Description

With a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor and technology inherited from Canon's professional models, the EOS 1000D offers EOS imaging power in an affordable, easy-to-use package. For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory card is full.
