Design: Offering two body designs the Canon Rebel XS comes in black and black with silver. Each comes with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and weighs in around 1 pound and a bit more. While this makes it quite lightweight it also makes it feel a little less substantial. The 2.5 inch LCD is good enough for the job while the body has a nice rubbery cover for a better grip with almost all the buttons in reach of your right hand. This allows you to use the camera one-handed with ease.
Specifications: At 10.1 MP the Canon Rebel XS is quite solid for its class. Its feature-set includes APS-C-size, a CMOS sensor with a 1.6x focal-length multiplier and a 7-point autofocus. The DSLR also switches from SDHC to CompactFlash for faster more reliable operation and features an Auto Lighting Optimizer for post capture contrast and brightness adjustment. The DSLR also offers a flash sync speed of 1/200th of a second with shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000th of a second. Other features include a TTL-metering system (35-zone) and a BG-E5 battery grip.
Features & Performance: While the My Menu allows some menu customization, the overall interface is quite basic. With ISO sensitivity up to 1600 the camera is very entry-level. However, in shooting speed the DSLR is very fast with a startup-to-shot time of less than 0.2 second and a shooting lag of 0.4 second in good conditions. In dim conditions this extends a bit to 0.8 second but shot-to-shot time redeems it at 0.7 second for raw shots and 0.4 second for JPEG shots. With flash-recycling the speed goes to 0.8 second while burst mode goes at 85, outpacing nearly every other DSLR in its class.
Image quality is top-notch, typical of Canon digital cameras with the Canon Rebel XS delivering great color and accurate exposures even on high ISO. Overall the Canon Rebel XS delivers awesome photo quality with faster performance in low-light focus conditions than any of its other competitors in the same class, making it ideal for most DSLR beginners.
