Camera Labs Reviews Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel X

Camera Labs tested out the Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel X recently and even compared it to other DSLRs like the Nikon D60 and the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200. The Rebel X was liked for its stellar image quality, the kit lens and the accurate Live View. However the Achilles heel of the Rebel X is its slow RAW continuous shooting mode and its launch price.

Conclusion:

“The 1000D / XS will find itself discounted to a more competitive price in the near future, but until then, it makes more sense to go for one of its rivals, or spend a little more on the 450D / XSi. Once those discounts kick-in though, the 1000D / XS will become a real contender in the entry-level market. There’s certainly some very strong competition you should also weigh-up, but by delivering all the features budget DSLR buyers look for, the 1000D / XS looks set to be another best-seller for Canon.”

The Canon EOS 1000D aka the Canon EOS Rebel XS was tested out by Lets Go Digital who have posted a short hands on preview on their website.  LGD notes that EOS 450D is almost identical to EOS 450D and the image sensor is similar to that’s of EOS 400D.For now Lets Go Digital seem impressed by the Canon EOS 1000D and look forward to reviewing the a full production model.


Excerpt from the conclusion:
“Compared to a few years ago, you really get a whole lot of camera for your money's worth. The specifications are high and although some details such as spot metering are no longer available on the new Canon EOS 1000D, it is a full digital DSLR camera. It will offer the beginning photographer, perhaps making the step from a compact camera to a DSLR, a tool to fully express his creativity.”
