I am not saying you should buy a 1000D/XS. It is definitely limited for a 2013 camera because it was released in 2008.

I said 1000D series. The T3/1000D was launched 2 years ago in 2011 so we're not talking about a 2008 camera. But the T3 was still limited.

Again, not saying this is a bad camera or that you shouldn't buy it. It's just really the 1200D and 3rd in a line of smaller/less featured rebels.

Giving it a new name, starting a new model line always gets more attention. Plus it's the smallest and lightest dSLR ever. That is news.

It's the smallest ever by a few mm which only makes a difference in marketing and paper spec wars. That's the point of the thread.

Then perhaps you need to look at it from the point of view of a different market entirely:

Apple iPhone 5 (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm)

BlackBerry Z10 (130 x 65.6 x 9 mm)

Samsung Galaxy S IV (136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm)

Nokia Lumia 920 (130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm)

Canon EOS 100D/SL1 (117 x 91 x 69 mm)
