Canon Announces EOS 1000D or Rebel XS
By Tyler | June 10, 2008
Canon has announced the EOS 1000D, a new entry-level DSLR that slots into the model lineup beneath the 450D. The 10 megapixel digital camera, known as the Digital Rebel XS in the US, takes many of the new features of its big brother and presents them in a lighter, less expensive format that Canon hopes will re-shape the market in the same way as the first Rebel (300D) did. No word yet from Canon US about their intentions.
It will be interesting to see how this camera fairs when dpreview can get a review out to the public. The front of the body looks similar to the 40D but the rear of the body still holds true to the EOS Rebel form. Sporting the DIGIC III processor is a nice bonus. I personally would like to get my hands on this new Canon camera, if canon would only send me one to play with!
