Good feature set; relatively low noise at all ISO settings; Live View; low price.
No dedicated Live View button; slow shooting speed when recording in RAW format.
Overall, there’s very little to complain about with the EOS 1000D, as it’s affordable, has all the most important modes and snaps photos at a fairly good speed when shooting in JPEG mode. The camera has all you need to grow as a photographer a...

De sobra esta decir que nos encantó, la Rebel XS continúa la tradición de Canon de ofrecer cámaras DSLR de bajo precio que ofrecen algunas de las características de sus hermanas mayores. Cierto que ahora la competencia es mucho mayor, y hay buenos exp...
