Compare Prices : Canon EOS 1000D

Review summary: Canon's Digital Rebel XS is an excellent entry-level digital SLR, but advanced photographers may find its features too basic.

Verdict: Priced at $575 including a kit lens, the XS is cheaper than the XSi--and fortunately, very few of the features we loved in the XSi have not been compromised. The XS comes in a single-lens kit with an 18mm-to-55mm IS lens (f/3.5 to 5.6), which provides ...

Pros: Very good image quality, Fast focusing and shot-to-shot speeds, Automatic sensor-cleaning system, Intuitive interface ;

Cons: Relatively small LCD, Fewer manual options than other entry-level DSLRs, Live View settings difficult to access, No ISO 3200 ;

Verdict: Like other cameras in its class, the Rebel XS' Live View created a four-second shot-to-shot lag, including a pause as the screen goes dark. Without Live View, there was virtually no shutter lag.

Review summary: The new EOS 1000D is Canon's answer to the low-price, entry-level DSLR market. And yet it offers a specification worthy of a much higher-priced camera

Pros: Good quality with high resolution sharp images, easy operation and handling, great ISO performance ;

Cons: Kit lens not the sharpest, JPEGs sharper using DPP software, body not robust ;

Verdict: I would still put my money on the Nikon D60 at the moment. It feels more robust. However, it lacks Live View and if this is important, choose the EOS 1000D.

Review summary: The Canon EOS 1000D is the Canon camera in charge of attacking the largest volume of the digital SLR market: the entry-level segment. To succeed, Canon equipped the EOS 1000D with numerous up-to-date technologies, and this seems to be the most ...

Verdict: The main settings and parameters are repeated on the back screen
