Comments on: Canon's EOS Rebel XS

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a new entry-level digital SLR that provides an update on the older EOS Rebel XTi in the body of the new XSi.

According to Canon the spec for Continuous shooting for the Xsi is:
Continuous: 3.5 fps up to 53 JPEG / 6 RAW frames

There seems to be some confusion (or typos)

The XS replaces the XT NOT the XTI.

You point out that the XS will be 12-bit rather than the 14-bit of the XSi but then say there will be a change in quality versus the XTi... but the XTi was also 12-bit (and uses the Digic II so in theory the picture should be BETTER than the XTi but not as good as the XSi).

The XS it is true is using 7 point focus, which is less than the 9 of the XSi and XTi models, but is a step up from the 5 point focus of the XT which it is replacing.

Canon Rebel XS is also know as 1000D.

I own the XSi. The spec for spec comparison brings the XS (1000D) between the XTi and the XSi. Having shot several hundred pictures with the XSi, I would pic it over any of the oth Rebel series DSLRs even at its higher price.

If you had considered buying the XSi, why wait for the lesser 1000D? Unless you feel pricing will drop significantly. I've already seen price reductions on the XSi of $50 to $75 for US warranty. But why not continue to wait for something else. At some point you just have to buy and be happy with your decision. I know I am.

Live mode is an interesting feature, but I prefer looking through the eye-piece. Maybe because I'm an old fashion film SLR photographer. I don't use LIVE mode much at all.
