Canon EOS 1000D (EOS Rebel XS / Kiss F Digital)
10.1 megapixels | 2.5" screen | APS-C sensor
Introduced as an entry-level model (below the EOS 450D (Rebel Xsi), the EOS 1000D (Rebel Xs) offered a slightly cut-down spec (fewer megapixels, smaller screen, slightly downgraded AF and metering, slower burst mode), but in our tests showed itself capable of excellent results across the ISO range, and even today stands up well against the latest entry-level products. The biggest downsides are the slightly dated spec, which lacks any of the live view and movie mode bells and whistles now common, and the sluggish burst mode.

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, it's responsive, and it offers a host of useful features. It's biggest problem is that its big brother, the Rebel XSi, costs just $70 more. Upgrading to the XSi doesn't buy you better photo quality (you just get large images), but it does get you a larger LCD and viewfinder, faster continuous shooting speeds (especially in RAW mode), spot metering, and more. On it's own, the Rebel XS is a great entry-level camera, easily earning my recommendation. At the same time, it's hard to resist the Rebel XSi for just a little more money.

When Canon first announced the EOS 450D / Rebel XSi in January 2008, most assumed it would be the natural successor to the best-selling EOS 400D / Rebel XTi, but the older model was kept on as an entry-level proposition. Then in June 2008 Canon announced the EOS 1000D / XS as its new...
