Canon EOS 1000D (EOS Digital Rebel XS) review

I purchased this camera in Feb-2010 in a promotion having the 18-55 and 75-300 lens.

Overall image quality is excelent, it has a superb low-light performance. (ISO 800, 1600 with relative low noise.)

I dont like the default "greyish" soft colors (low saturation for my taste); no problem, I created my picture style with high color saturation, contrast and sharpness and got what I like.

Problems:

Movie missing.

Low Value for money (today): the evolution since 2008 has been large, rendering 1000D obsolete.

Today I would buy the Canon 550D which has been recently released.
