Canon EOS 1000D (EOS Digital Rebel XS) review

My Review is as the ratings state. I'm in love with this
camera as a throw around. Being the user of 1D-MIIN's
and 5D-MII's, this little push toy is great for what it is,
based on price to value ratio. Love the ease of use, its
great for my mates compared to when they hold the
1Dmark II N, makes life simpler that way, and i do
admit that the camera feels like a toy, but it pushes
out great pictures with the right combination of lenses.
Though i have preference to looking without the
eyecup, feels like its going to destroy my brow. but
other than that its a great all rounder.

Problems:

would have preferred the body to not be made of
plastic

takes its time in burst, very laggy.

big hands arent made for this camera without a battery
grip.

no dedicated liveview button so i can use "SET" for
flash comp.
