Product Description
Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series -- a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.

 Excellent choice January 6, 2009
O. Viera (Woohaven, NY)
This is my first DSLR since the days of film and the AE1. I owned various Canon point-and-shoot models and it was time for an upgrade. After many weeks of researched, I decided to go with the XS model and I am sooo glad I did. My other options was the XSi or the Nikon D60. However, the features and price Won me over.
This is an excellent camera for beginners as well as advance photographers. It is easy to learn and the photo quality and saturation are just perfect.
Go out buy it and shoot, shoot, shoot!
A Lot of Camera for Not a Lot of Money January 6, 2009
M. Stempler (Columbus, OH)
This camera is a FANTASTIC value...as long as you don't buy it for full retail price. I believe full retail for the kit with the EF-S 18-55mm IS lens is about $600, but I bought it on Amazon for about $460. There are deals to be had on this camera, so make sure you find them.
CNET has a good review of this camera, so I'll just list the pros and cons as I see them.
PROS
-Phenomenal photo quality/color fidelity
-Intuitive menu/user interface
-Sensor cleaner
-Lightweight, comfortable to hold
-Fast autofocus
-Basically non-existent shutter lag
-Takes only about 1 second to turn the camera on and take a picture
-Compatible with almost all recently (last 10-15 years) manufactured Canon lenses
-10.1 MP is PLENTY
-Poster size prints are excellent (as long as pictures are crisp)
CONS
-Relatively few photos per second (3 in ideal lighting conditions)
-Multiple frames per second requires ideal lighting conditions
-Lack of spot metering makes taking pictures with lots of contrast VERY difficult (i.e. sunlight through trees or behind landscape). This is my biggest complaint with the camera.
-Not compatible with wireless remote control
-Kit lens is not great in low light conditions
-Lenses with image stabilization are very expensive
Overall, this is, in my opinion a terrific starter's digital SLR.

This camera was purchased for a trip to Africa and it was well worth the investment. There were no issues with it and the pictures were great. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't change the default settings of some of the features. If you want to do something like bracketed shots you have to reset it every time you turn it on or change a lens.
excellent price/value January 3, 2009

This camera is awesome! It takes bright, sharp, beautiful pictures. And for that price, you can't be wrong. The 18/55mm lens is very good also. Excellent from beginners to pros. If you have the change, take it on your hands and feel it. Is so lightweight and comfortable compared to other cameras in the same range, and it's also very resistant. You definitely should consider buying this camera.

Love this camera! I am used to a film SLR, and a small point and shoot digital, but with how slow the point and shoot is, and not being able to see my shots right away with film, I just had to upgrade to a digital SLR! I did a good bit of research and was deciding between the XS and XSi. I have always been a Canon person, so that part was easy. We were looking for an econoical choice, and though there are some features on the XSi that are a bit better - the main differences appear to be the XS has a slightly smaller screen and slightly slower fps and only a bit less on the megapixels. To me, it was negligible and the cost was a few hundred dollars less. We have been getting beautiful pictures and have been having lots of fun with it. And with the fast shutter speed and quick ability to review shots, we haven't missed out on getting the shots like we used to on our point and shoot. I highly recommend this camera!!
