Product Description
For perfect photos, fast and simple, there’s nothing better than Canon’s
EOS Rebel XS Digital SLR Camera. With powerful features including a
10.1-megapixel CMOS Sensor, Canon’s
DIGIC III processor, fast shooting and more, it’s a digital powerhouse. With simple, easy-to-use controls, a compact design, a
2.5-inch LCD monitor, and
Live View Function, it’s a beginner’s dream come true.
The camera also incorporates the
Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise Reduction functions (previously found only on Canon’s Professional Digital SLRs) and the camera is equipped with Canon’s
Auto Lighting Optimizer technology, which corrects image brightness and contrast automatically to prevent underexposure with backlit scenes.
The
EOS Rebel XS is also fast – capable of
continuously capturing 3 frames per second for bursts of over 500 images. The faster frame rates and finer focusing capabilities of the
Rebel XS together with its impressive image burst rate will help photo enthusiasts capture split second action at just the right moment.

I am verry into my family pictures. I’ve been using point and shot cameras forever this is my first SLR and what a difference!!!! I can never go back. The pictures come out so crisp and clear. The price was also great as an added bonus. I recommended this camera to my friends & family, and those that took my advice thank me every day.

Ever since I started using a Canon camera (the old F model of the late Sixties), I have followed the rule that it is better to spend one’s money on good glass than slightly better body quality. I chose this model over the XSi because of the price difference. The two megapixels more was not worth the $155.00 extra to me, and a year of use confirms my decision. As does the comparison by Bob Atkins. The dollars I saved went to buying a 7D this year, a major body quality upgrade, and the dollars saved from buying that rather than a 5D are going toward another first class lens. Make no mistake, this is a first class camera for almost any kind of photography. It is five star quality all the way across the board, and I recommend it highly to anyone on a tight budget.

I was informed to buy this camera without a lens because the lenses available to purchase are much better. I bought the 50mm lens, and it is great. I suggest buying some sort of zoom lens though because you will want to be able to zoom in and zoom out.

I love this camera, but the reviews were right about the auto focus not being very good. I deal with it because an upgrade would have been much more expensive. Great features, easy to use.

I got this because I’m a starting photographer, along with the 50mm this camera is insane. I liked the controls on the olympus e-520 a little better, but got the hang of this. Don’t like that the scroll wheel is next to the shutter button, if it were like the Nikon or the Olympus where you can scroll with your thumb i think it would be faster to change speed & aperture. noticed the LCD screen is clearer than the olympus, but it seems sorta dim to me in daylight. i like that the anti-dust feature turns on when you shut it off to not slow down turn on time. portability obviously not good cuz its a big dslr, but i gave it 4 stars anyway because its lighter than my old film camera and just as solidly built. Grip was my main concern, not really comfy and doesn’t allow as firm a grip as nikon d3000 or olympus e520. those cameras feel like they were designed for the contours of your hand. Still, you could hold this with greasy hands, unlike those crappy slippery plasticky Pentax cameras that feel like those used up sweaty playstation controls at walmart. the buttons and layout of this camera remind me of the original xbox controller, it looks cool but when you try to use it its uncomfortable, sorta hurts, and you find that the shape of the buttons does not go well with the shape of your fingers or hand. I ultimately settled on this XS because Olympus has limited lenses, and i can’t afford any of them. The nikon d3000 although equally priced, has no live view or anti shake. regardless, im glad with my purchase, gave it 4 stars cuz it looks really cool but its actually kinda uncomfortable, the button layout once again focuses on aesthetics and looking cool, but could be more functional (thumb scroll wheel anyone?) it only uses SD cards so might be bad for ppl who want fast RAW photos. for JPEG though it is very fast. anti shake automatically turns on when you focus a picture. didn’t get the stock lens kit cuz i heard it sucks, but supposedly the newer IS version is way better than the old one, but i got the 50mm for this and it is crazy good. The fact that there are so many canon-fags out there kissing up to canon means i will find lots of used lenses for this. Anyway, respect to all cameras, they all have their ups and downs, but ultimately the canon had the most features for me, and lots of lenses means i can luckily find a cheap used one.
