Canon EOS Rebel XS Pro Reviews

reghardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The 1000D is a fantastic camera, packed with features and enviably upgradeable. For beginners, the Nikon D3000's on-screen help system will surely win out. And, while the 1000D's test images suggest marginally better high-ISO performance than the D3000, the difference is truly minimal. For those a little more comfortable with the technicalities of shooting with a DSLR, however, the Canon doesn't disappoint in the slightest.

Shooting with the Rebel XS is an enjoyable experience, and while comparisons between the XS and the generally similarly (and often identical) XSi are obvious and natural, Canon has done a nice job of paring down the more advanced camera's feature set for the XS without losing the essence of what has made the latest Rebel models so excellent.

We think the results of this test just go to show that if all the cameras took their best parts and put them into one super camera, we may be on the road to being happy, but until that happens, the Canon EOS 1000D has won this comparison test.

The little brother to the critically acclaimed XSi costs two hundred dollars less, but is almost identical in specs and build.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Canon will likely sell a lot of Rebel XS kits. It's a pretty good SLR at a pretty astonishingly low price, and that's what it was designed to be. Most consumers will be very happy with the Canon Rebel XS, thanks to the high quality, image-stabilized lens, the well-rounded feature-set, and impressive print quality. But there are a few technical foibles that enthusiasts will do well to take note of.

The Rebel XS is proving to be a great starter camera for the girls. Planning to shoot birds from a blind in the yard will set my 10-year-old into high anticipation mode for days. She uses the inexpensive Rebel XS and Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS Lens combination for this. The setup is light, sized properly for her and if the worst would happen, the loss is not that high.

An excellent entry-level SLR, but its more full-featured brother, the Rebel Xsi, outperformed this model in our tests.

Other than that, we can't be anything but positive about the Canon EOS 1000D. You can get by perfectly with all ISO settings at which noise is no longer an issue. An excellent performance. Also when it comes to dynamic range and colour reproduction, the Canon 1000D scores excellently and is well-matched with its more expensive EOS brothers. In addition, the beginning photographer will certainly be able to lift his photographic skills to a higher level.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit Like Unlike

When Canon first announced the EOS 450D / Rebel XSi in January 2008, most assumed it would be the natural successor to the best-selling EOS 400D / Rebel XTi, but the older model was kept on as an entry-level proposition. Then in June 2008 Canon announced the EOS 1000D / XS as its new entry-level DSLR and the true successor to the 400D / XTi.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Canon's latest entry-level dSLR, the Digital Rebel XS or EOS 1000D replaces the very popular Digital Rebel XTi from 2006. Featuring a 10.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor, 7-point wide area AF system and up to 3fps continuous JPEG shooting until the memory card is full, the Rebel XS represents a more affordable entry point to the world of EOS cameras - while still taking full advantage of over 70 years of imaging expertise.

The EOS 1000D is a solid addition to Canon's extensive range of DSLR cameras, filling the gap at the sub-£500 / $700, entry-level price-point. Canon have cleverly ensured that it's different enough to the more expensive 450D to tempt you to upgrade, yet still producing a very capable camera that suits its beginner target audience.

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.

DP Review‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Canon's lead of the entry-level market has slipped in recent years (in certain markets) and the 1000D doesn't stand out from the competition as much as previous models. It's certainly a safe bet and one of the most consistent offerings in the sector (it has few annoying quirks or niggling loose ends) and its all-round competance, excellent high ISO performance and class-leading image quality will win it a lot of friends.
