 Canon EOS 1000D Preview : Not entirely unexpectedly, Canon announced a new digital SLR; the Canon EOS 1000D (US model name; Digital Rebel XS). In addition to the fact that this is a new DSLR, Canon introduce a new segment at the same time; that of the absolute entry level camera class. This means we have finally reached the thousand so we will find a sequence row from 1000 to singular figures. Introducing this new segment, Canon create space for their assortment, which was considered somewhat tight over the last few years. I am speaking for myself here.• Read our full Canon 1000D Preview.

Canon EOS 1000D first impression
The new Canon EOS 1000D will soon be available, but for now has only a pre-production status. Therefore, it is not possible to publish pictures taken with the camera, despite the fact they already circulate in several European countries, accompanied by the simple yet clear statement that the image quality cannot be judged since it is only a pre-production camera. The following review will offer you an first impression of Canon's new digital entry level DSLR, the Canon EOS 1000D.
Canon EOS Body
At first sight, the Canon EOS 1000D looks exactly like the EOS 400D. The latter will disappear from the assortment as of now. A logical decision, considering the 400D and 450D are very closely related. With the introduction of the Canon 1000D, Canon create room and offer the consumer a full digital SLR with an appealing price tag. And it is the price that gives this SLR the right to exist. Don't expect any innovations or spectacular improvements, as these are more likely to happen at the Photokina show. Looking at the EOS 1000D, you could come to the conclusion that it is a stripped down version of the EOS 450D, because as a camera the Canon EOS 1000D leans closely towards its 'predecessor' the EOS 400D and the actual model; the EOS 450D.
Canon 1000D hands-on review
Knowing that the Canon EOS 450D bid farewell to the CompactFlash memory card, it is hardly a surprise to see that the Canon EOS 1000D is also supporting the small memory card. CompactFlash seems to be dedicated solely to the professional EOS cameras, although most of them feature a dual card slot for supporting the SD format as well as the CF format. Thanks to the support of the SD format, the Canon EOS 1000D has 32GB of storage capacity at its disposal that is if the current maximum storage capacity of SDHC is actually supported, which I presume it is.
