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.

Opinion: 1.5 fps raw speed and a giant price tag? Who is this camera designed for? The Live View is so awful as to be worthless. I guess if you do studio work and set it up on a tripod and use a light meter etc you'll take some nice photos. If you use your camera in real life situations (family photos, vacations, special events), it just can't keep up.

Opinion: I've used the Nikon D60 for some time before I got the D1000. And honestly speaking the picture quality in Nikon is sharper. With the canon I've to almost sharpen every shot in photoshop.

Otherwise the make of Canon is much better and its quality shows. The only thing missing here in the body is a IS/VR lens. But overall its a good buy cause the D450 which comes next in the list is way more expensive.

Problems: - No IS lens with Kit
- Its a bit slow when you're clicking a burst of shots
