Excellent starter DSLR
This review is geared toward complete newbies (such as myself) who are coming from the point-and-shoot world.
I purchased this camera due to a budget constraint and after reading numerous reviews. For what you features you get, you simply cannot beat the price for an entry level DSLR camera. You may have looked at the XSI (as I have) and have been tempted to put forth the extra $100 or so to get that one. If you get down to the nitty gritty between the specs of the XS and XSI, you'll ...

For the money, the Rebel XS delivers.
**Revised 18 Apr 2009**
(4.5/5 stars)
This year I decided to finally get a digital SLR. The market is filled with excellent choices and early January saw a plunge in prices that has since receded, so I feel like I picked a good time to buy. The downside of having so many options, though, was trying to decide which one was right for me. Not being too familiar with dSLRs, I read lots of reviews and learned the terminology, and after a couple weeks finally decided on the Canon...

Canon REBEL XS simply a beautiful experience
I spent several weeks reviewing the REBEL XS vs it's many 10 MP adversaries, I even checked it against the ultra zooms as I wanted the convenience of video as well, but too many good things stood out with this camera and so I decided upon it. I bought the rebel XS and after days of dirt testing this camera I've found it a beautiful experience.
Now I'm a professional videographer attached to a tv station in Trinidad & Tobago, my purpose for this camera was the need for a quick shar...

Canon XSi and XS Features Comparison
* December 7, 2008 *
When I originally wrote this review back in August 2008, the price of the XSi and the XS kits were the same. Back then, you would have been foolish to buy the XS kit when the XSi offered a lot more at the same price. During the second-half of 2008, the price of the XS kit has dropped significantly. Due to the significant price difference between the Canon XSi kit and the Canon XS kit, I have revised this article.
The Canon EOS Rebel XS is the "little brother"...

Best Affordable DSLR (Canon XS vs. Olympus E-510 or Nikon D40/60)
I want to save you the time and uncertainty in choosing the best affordable DSLR. For those considering the Canon EOS Rebel XS, the Olympus E-510 or the Nikon D40 / D40x / D60, I believe the Canon XS is the best choice. Also, at the price difference between the XS and the SXi ($150-200 as of December '08), the XS is an excellent alternative--both take exactly the same high quality pictures, save the 2MP difference, which is negligible at the end. Please note that the XS's new lens kit comes wit...

XS 10.1 is okay. Not great.
"I should have spent the extra hundred and gotten the XSi" should have been the actual title to this review. My dissatisfaction revolves around the XS' focusing challenges. The camera itself is great - image quality is good, the sensor works fine -- the uptick in image quality between the smaller sensor on a point n shoot is (to me) very noticeable -- but the XS, with its 7-point focusing system has problems, especially in low light.
I understand the XSi's 9-point system is more accu...

Very pleased
Well, I have only had this camera for a few days,but I am very happy with it. The price is very reasonable and affordable.This also is my first SLR having owned several point and shoot film and digital. The only "negative" about this camera is the "Live View". I see this as nothing more than a selling point aimed at point and shoot users. You cannot use the live view in full auto setting, you have to be in one of the manual settings. You cannot use the shutter button for auto focus (read the rev...

Excellent Value and Features
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The Rebel XS is a superb beginner D-SLR that takes excellent pictures and gets most everything right. It’s a great blend of last year’s XTi and this year’s XSi, with few premium features removed (7 point focus instead of 9) and some added (live-view and self-cleaning sensor). What the XS has in spades is dollar value, superb feature...

I love this camera
I am definitely a novice who just got tired of using compact pocket type digital cameras and getting bad pictures (usually due to the shutter delay).
I know nothing really about photography but I like the size and weight of this camera. Some reviews suggest it is too expensive for its features but for me the size, weight and supports SD memory were very important. Quality of the images are amazing (well I think they are!) but I may need to tweak it a bit as the images are huge (3MB+...

Cannon XS Rebel SLR Digial Camera
As a long time professional Videoographer, I find little time to enjoy working with fillm cameras. When my old SLR got dropped I finally broke down and got a state of the art entry level camera in digidal. Who needs all the bells and whistles if you know how to use a camera? they are all her in spades and show a lot of fore thought. There are things I would have never thought of putting on a camera, post work yes just not on the camera. It is for all who think they are going to grow into the pho...
