Over-priced compared to closest rivals
Activating Live View requires detective work
Light sensitivity settings offered could be higher still
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
The Rebel T2i
And it lacks some of the features that makes the T2i such a good camera. But is it a good beginner's camera?
Um solchen "Budget-DSLRs" wie der Nikon D60, der Sony Alpha 200 oder der Olympus E-420 etwas entgegen setzen zu können, brauchte Canon keine ganz neue Kamera zu entwickeln. Man nahm die mittlerweile etwas betagte EOS 400D, wertete sie mit einigen Feat...
Abstract: Die von vielen erwartete Billig-SLR ist die EOS 1000D mit einem Preis um 500 Euro nicht, der Kit mit dem EF-S 18–55-Bildstabilisator-Objektiv liegt bei 600 Euro. Ist das der richtige Preis? Für 50 Euro mehr gibt es die besser ausgestattete EOS 450D. Be...
Abstract: Mit einem Ladenpreis von unter 500 Euro für ihren 10-Megapixel-Body bläst die EOS 1000D zum Angriff auf den breiten Markt. Ob Canons kleinste Spiegelreflexkamera auch in der fotografischen Praxis mit Menschenmassen zurechtkommt, klärt unser Test beim F...
Abstract: Top-Bildqualität: Kaum RauschenZwar ist die EOS 1000D das kleinste Pferd im Canon-Stall, aber bei der Bildqualität ist davon nichts zu merken. Die Messungen im Testlabor zeigen, dass sie nicht nur besser abschneidet als die EOS 400D, sondern sogar die ...
"Met de introductie van de Canon 1000D is dus ruimte gekomen en kan de consument bij Canon ook terecht voor een volwaardige digitale SLR met een aantrekkelijk prijs. Kijkend naar de EOS 1000D zou je ook kunnen concluderen dat het een iets uitgeklede EOS 4...
Abstract: Det var i oktober 1990 som Canon introducerade Eos 1000 som skulle bli en stor succeé. Kameran var liten, lätt och väldigt billig. För många blev den steget från manuell fokus t...
Abstract: Systemkamerorna utvecklas åt två håll; funktionsrally å ena sidan och extrembudget å den andra. Nu lanserar Canon ett riktigt billigt och strippat system som klarar sig bra ändå. ...
Abstract: Canons nya instegskamera i spegelreflexkamerasegmentet heter EOS 1000D och kamerans CMOS-sensor är på 10,1 megapixlar. Automatisk sensorrengöring vid start ingår även den här gången. Sensorn erbjuder alltså samma upplösning som Canon EOS 400D, men t...
