      Canon EOS 1000D Review

      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.

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: The EOS Rebel XS ($699 list price) is the entry-level model in Canon's digital SLR lineup. The camera is essentially a stripped down version of the Rebel XSi: it has fewer pixels, a slower burst rate, and a smaller LCD than its big brother. I put ...

      Pros: Very good photo quality, with minimal noise ; Compact body by D-SLR standards (though it's not for everyone) ; Good kit lens, with image stabilization ; Dust reduction system ; Fast performance in most respects ; Live view with contrast detect AF, ...

      Cons: Rebel XSi only costs a little more ; Small, slippery right hand grip ; Very slow contrast detect AF in live view mode ; nearly useless in low light ; Live view not available in all shooting modes ; LCD and optical viewfinder both on the small side ; ...

      Verdict: The differences are pretty clear between the two cameras. Buying the Rebel XSi gets you "bigger and better" in most (but not all) areas. The thing is, it doesn't cost you much to get those things. For $70 more you can get the Rebel XSi, which makes ...
