Editorial Reviews:

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.

Well, I have only had this camera for a few days,but I am very happy with it. The price is very reasonable and affordable.This also is my first SLR having owned several point and shoot film and digital. The only "negative" about this camera is the "Live View". I see this as nothing more than a selling point aimed at point and shoot users. You cannot use the live view in full auto setting, you have to be in one of the manual settings. You cannot use the shutter button for auto focus (read the review on dpreviews.com), I don't want to go into a long explaination here. The view finder is very easy to see and use for taking pics so I probably wont be using live view except maybe to compose a tripod shot,take it out of live view and take the shot.The 18-55mm IS kit lens is really a very good lens and I have no complaints about it (well maybe the plastic mount). Focus is fast and the image stabilizer is great.The 18mm is a very good wide angle although the 55mm is not that great a zoom,I have the 28-135mm USM IS on the way and cain't wait to try it out.
As I said I am very pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone wanting to make the jump from point and shoot to SLR's.

As a long time professional Videoographer, I find little time to enjoy working with fillm cameras. When my old SLR got dropped I finally broke down and got a state of the art entry level camera in digidal. Who needs all the bells and whistles if you know how to use a camera? they are all her in spades and show a lot of fore thought. There are things I would have never thought of putting on a camera, post work yes just not on the camera. It is for all who think they are going to grow into the photo job field, and will make a lot of money if the tallent is there. If not it is a low cost camera and will not break the bank if the tallent dos'nt show up later in life. I love this camera and would not want the next level up, it was more than I would ever use, I'm never going to be Jimmy Olsen, so I will keep the XS, thank you Cannon it is great.

I have had this camera for a couple months and I can finally say that I am getting the hang of it. I am not overly excited about it and still find myself grabbing my little aim an shoot for snap shots around the house. I know light weight is what people look for but to me this camera feels very cheap. Picture quality is good and as I continue to work with it I feel that it will grow on me.

I am most happy with the camera . . can hardly wait to get the 70-200mm IS telephoto lense (when I can afford it). The versatility, fairly easy to follow instructions, and quality of image are all welcomed.

I am definitely a novice who just got tired of using compact pocket type digital cameras and getting bad pictures (usually due to the shutter delay).

I know nothing really about photography but I like the size and weight of this camera. Some reviews suggest it is too expensive for its features but for me the size, weight and supports SD memory were very important. Quality of the images are amazing (well I think they are!) but I may need to tweak it a bit as the images are huge (3MB+).

I am sure as I get better with photography I may start to notice deficiencies but in the meanwhile I am happy with my purchase.
