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

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is the manufacturer's cheapest DSLR camera
And it is very much aimed as a "first DSLR" camera for photographers looking to advance beyond the typical point and shoot
It's $200 cheaper than Canon's next step up camera

And it lacks some of the features that makes the T2i such a good camera. But is it a good beginner's camera?

Abstract: La disponibilità sul mercato di reflex entry-level con prezzi intorno ai 600 euro (la Nikon D40x, la D60 e la Pentax K-m per fare degli esempi), ha spinto Canon a riformulare verso il basso la Eos 450D, una macchina in grado di soddisfare anche i palat...
