Canon EOS 1000D (EOS Digital Rebel XS) review

Had this camera for 8 months. For $499 it is a great camera for anyone wanting to build a Canon system. The kit lens is great. The 430ex II flash matched well. Live View works great with all but the fast action shots. It works real well with the EF 70-300 IS. I gave it a 4.5 on features, only because of no "spot metering". The only reason I gave it away to family member is to move to a T2i so I could gain a little better low light IQ and no other reason. It is a very user friendly DSLR. I recomend it highly.

Problems:

None
