Canon EOS 1000D
All of which leads us to two burning questions: is it worth the extra bucks for the 450D over the 1000D? And how does the 1000D stack up overall compared with its sub-AU$1,000 competitors?
Pros:
- Excellent photo quality for its class
- Solid performance
Cons:
- Maximum ISO of 1600
- No spot meter
- Annoying
- in-viewfinder
- focus-point display

[REVIEW-CANON EOS 1000D camera]
This 10 megapixel camera is the first SLR from Canon to break (just) the $1000 barrier. The construction uses a lot of obvious plastic, including for the lens mount. It is small and light and is well suited to small hands. Ergonomics are just so-so.
Pros:
- The picture quality is excellent, especially when a better quality Canon lens is fitted
- Dynamic range is wide and the Auto Lighting Optimiser is useful in tricky situations, such as backlighting
- Auto focus and exposure are very fast and accurate.
Cons:
- The "live view" is ridiculous
- The user guide recommends manual focussing in live view and yet Canon claim that they include the function because compact camera owners trading up to a DSLR demand it.

Canon EOS Rebel XS
The baby brother to the Rebel XSi , the Canon EOS Rebel XS is the typical, almost-identical, but slightly less-powerful, version of that camera. As with the XSi, Canon offers two body designs for the XS--an attractive solid black, and a less-attractive, two-tone, silver and black style.
Pros:
- Excellent photo quality for its class
- solid performance
Cons:
- Maximum ISO of 1,600
- no spot meter
- annoying, in-viewfinder, focus-point display

Canon EOS 1000D digital SLR
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the Canon EOS 450D , the latest in a successful line of consumer digital SLR cameras, and discovered that although it is a good camera it is too expensive to be considered an entry-level model.
Pros:
- Live view
- Lightweight
- Speedy operation
- Good high ISO performance
- Good image quality
Cons:
- Overpriced
- Noticeably plastic build
- Slow live view focussing
- No video

Having helped create the 'affordable' DSLR, Canon has taken a while to respond to the latest, comparatively wallet-friendly offerings from the likes of Nikon and Sony. The 1000D is a pretty convincing response - it does just about everything it needs to do, and everything it does, it does well.
Pros:
- Great results even with default settings
- Good tonal response and dynamic range
- Picture styles provides good control over image output (and prove consistent across models
- Typical Canon CMOS noise-free images
- remain detailed even at high sensitivities
- Optional High ISO NR removes all chroma noise...
Cons:
- Continuous shooting ability in RAW very limited (small buffer and low speed
- Average automatic white balance performance
- still very poor under incandescent light
- Comparatively small viewfinder
- Limited exposure compensation range (+/- 2.0 EV
- Live view only useful for specific applications,...
