Canon Rebel XS (black, with 18-55mm lens) price range: $489.00 - $599.99
- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin

The good: Excellent photo quality for its class; solid performance.
The bad: Maximum ISO of 1600; no spot meter; annoying, in-viewfinder, focus-point display.
The bottom line: The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
The baby brother to the Rebel XSi, the Canon EOS Rebel XS is the typical, almost-identical, but slightly less-powerful, version of that camera.
As with the XSi, Canon offers two body designs for the XS--an attractive solid black, and a less-attractive, two-tone, silver and black style. Each only comes in a single-lens kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Though it essentially uses the same body as the XSi, it shaves a couple of ounces of the weight; it only weighs 1 pound, 1.6 ounces. Its smooth, plastic body still feels a little on the cheap side, and I'm not crazy about the grip. I can't quite put my finger on the reason; it's not especially shallow, and Canon improved it over the XTi's with a more rubbery-feeling cover. Still, I don't find it as comfortable to hold as most other dSLRs. Almost all the buttons lie under your right hand, and each feels slightly different so that you can grope them without looking. None require two-handed operation; when you push the button to change ISO, white balance, metering and so on, the menu persists while you navigate the options. (For more on the camera design, click through the slide show.)
The biggest operational advantage the XS offers over competitors is My Menu, which, unlike some other features, it inherits from higher-end models. With My Menu you can build a go-to-list of the most frequently accessed menu settings--in my case, for instance, Format and Live View settings. However, like the XSi, the menus can be--irritatingly--a little inconsistent and sometimes dumb. For instance, you can change ISO sensitivity with either the dial or the navigation buttons, but can only navigate metering choices via the navigation buttons. Also, in some cases, when you have two columns to navigate, as with Picture Style settings, it doesn't let you navigate to the right or left; you must navigate all the way down the first column to get to the settings in the second.
But, I consider the AF indicators in the viewfinder the most annoying aspect of operating the XS (this was true in the XSi, as well). The AF indicators are tiny red dots that briefly flash when focus locks. They're neither persistent nor large enough to be easy to spot, so I frequently found myself having to prefocus several times to make sure that the spot was on the correct subject and that it was focused. As you can imagine, it slows shooting a bit. Is it more annoying than the faint focus lines Sony uses? I think so.
For the most part, the XS offers a solid set of entry-level specs: 10-megapixel, APS-C-size, CMOS sensor (for Canon's traditional 1.6x focal-length multiplier) and 7-point user-selectable autofocus system. That falls between the Nikon D60's paltry three-area AF and the 9- and 11-point AF systems in the competing Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 and Pentax K200D, respectively. I also mark the switch from CompactFlash to SDHC in the plus column. Also, like the XSi, the XS includes Canon's Auto Lighting Optimizer, which automatically adjusts contrast and brightness in case the image you captured isn't quite perfect. Introduced last year in the 40D, the Auto Lighting Optimizer is now available in all exposure modes and employs face detection to prevent the underexposure of backlit faces I complained about in the XTi (and it works). Remaining specifications are in line with the XSi. For example, shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/4000 of a second, with a flash sync speed of 1/200 of a second, and the camera employs a 35-zone TTL-metering system. Canon also offers the BG-E5 battery grip.
On the other hand, the XS lacks common perks Sony, Pentax, and Olympus include in their cameras, like in-body mechanical stabilization and a wireless flash controller in the body--a feature that I occasionally find quite useful. The inclusion of an image-stabilizing kit lens doesn't quite compensate, since additional optically stabilized lenses tend to cost more in the long run. The XS' sensitivity range also tops out at ISO 1600, whereas some others go to ISO 3200 (but those models generally don't have usable photo quality at that level). Though it offers a Live View shooting mode with contrast-detection AF, Live View's usefulness is limited without support from an articulating LCD, and it functions too slowly to be of any use with live subjects. Furthermore, all the manufacturers seem to incorrectly think that the equivalent of Canon's Picture Styles--custom contrast, sharpness saturation and color tone--are more important in this market segment than the capability to save groups of custom exposure, white balance, metering, drive-mode settings, and so on. My biggest peeve, though, is the lack of a spot meter--not even the huge 4-percent spot from the XSi.
Another attribute of the XSi but that the XS lacks is the Highlight Tone Priority mode, which helps preserve detail in the brightest portion of a scene. And the XS has a 2.5-inch LCD compared with the XSi's 3-inch version (the A200 and K200D have 2.7-inch LCDs).
Overall, in CNET Labs' tests the XS outperforms all but the D60 for shooting speed. It goes from power-to-photo in a bit less than 0.2 second. At 0.4 second in good conditions, the XS' JPEG-shooting lag matches the rest; its 0.8-second duration in dim conditions is quite good for any class--just a bit slower than the D60 and inexplicably far better than the XSi. Once focused, shot-to-shot time typically takes about 0.7 second for raw shots--oddly, JPEG shooting is a much faster 0.4 second (these days there's typically no difference between raw and JPEG speed in dSLRs). Adding flash-recycling time bumps it to only 0.8 second, which is also very good for any class, and is the same as the D60. Burst JPEG shooting outpaces all but the K200D, however, that camera is limited to about five shots per burst--the XS goes to at least 85. It's pretty close to the D60's burst rate, however. The raw shooting slows after three frames and, like the XSi, maxes out at six frames; you'll have to move to another class of camera if you take shooting your childrens' soccer games really seriously.
The Rebel XS' only really obvious advantage over the competition is its photo quality, which is quite good, especially at high ISO sensitivities. In general, color and exposures are accurate (as accurate as you can get when the situation doesn't require a spot meter), it renders a relatively broad dynamic range, and the kit lens delivers sharp photos for its class.
All of which leads us to two burning questions: is it worth the extra bucks for the XSi over the XS? And how does the XS stack up overall compared with its sub-$700 competitors? As to the first: if you crop a lot, need a spot meter, or merely want the larger LCD, then it's worth paying a little extra for the XSi; otherwise, the XS will probably serve your needs well. (For more information, check out EOS mio! Which Canon dSLR?) And if you want the best photo quality and/or need fast, low-light focus, the Canon Rebel XS outshines its competitors. However, it doesn't deliver the best value for the money overall; that nod goes to the Pentax K200D. You can read more about the competition in Digital SLRs on a shoestring.

A great camera for a great price! Good way to start.
by Crawdaddy2231 on December 17, 2008
Pros: Great picture quality. Lightweight and small. Easy menu navigation. My Menu settings are wonderful. Good price.
Cons: Wish it had a 3" LCD on the back, but I can't complain too much about that. There are some menu items that don't allow you to use all four directional buttons, but that is hardly anything to blink an eye at.
Summary: This is great camera. It has to be one of the better dollar for dollar DSLR cameras out there. For anyone who is a semi-serious amateur photographer, you simply can ...
Summary: This is great camera. It has to be one of the better dollar for dollar DSLR cameras out there. For anyone who is a semi-serious amateur photographer, you simply can not go wrong here. The question becomes if you want to chalk up the extra $200 for the XSI. I personally do not think it is worth it. The only major differences is a jump from 10 megapixels to 12 and a 3" LCD instead of the 2.5". Personally, I would rather put that money toward a nice lens.
This is not the greatest camera out there but that means you are not paying large amounts either. I have nothing bad to say about it so far. It is easy to use and it is a great value. If you are thinking about getting into the world of the DSLR then strongly consider this camera. I would also strongly suggest that you purchase some sort of handbook on how to get the most out of your camera.
As a side note, I also strongly suggest that you lean towards Canon when deciding on a DSLR. I say this because I believe that Canon makes the best lenses out there. I know that some lenses are compatible with separate brands, but it just makes sense to work with the same brand.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Nice, well rounded camera, but not my top choice
by burtonk14 on February 9, 2009
Pros: Well priced and a steady entry level camera. Has a nice 3 frames per second feature, decent battery life and 10 megapixels. Quick start-up.
Cons: Only has a 7 point auto-focus system and the picture quality seems a little on the poor side. The grip is formed in a way which after a long period of holding, will cramp your hand.

Summary: Overall, if this is your first experience with a DSLR style camera, you will think its a god among digital cameras. If its not your first time playing with DSLR cameras, you will thinks its horrible. I found that auto focusing was slow, the Live View feature was more annoying and ridiculously designed than it was practical. Let my tell you how much I hate the Live View Feature. To begin, you have to go into a menu, then select it. I strongly dislike that, there should be a button to switch between Live View and EVF. Then you have to press the shutter button to take a preview of the picture that you are taking. Plus, when that's all done, you only get an unfocused preview of the subject in which you are taking the picture of. For high speed subjects, this just doesn't cut it. If I was part of the Canon development team for this camera I would be embarrassed to market this as one of its key features for the Rebel XS
The image quality is poor when in low light as the camera only comes equipped with a 1600 ISO. The Noise Reduction is decent, but doesn't match Sony's Alpha series.
I know that this is only a entry level camera, but I expected more from a company like Canon. This camera would be great for the amateur users who wants to upgrade from PS digital cameras and advance a little further into photography.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Just buy the body, don't get the kit lens
by Let_Them_Eat_Cake on April 18, 2009
Pros: The menu is intuitive enough. The buttons are in the right place. The navigation is smooth. Camera body is made in Japan.
Cons: The kit lens is junk. It makes people look uglier than a decent point and shoot. This lens doesn't do well in low light, some point and shoot camera can actually do better in low light.
Summary: When you buy a digital SLR, you have to ask yourself a question - what do you want to do with it.
If you want to turn pro in the ...Summary: When you buy a digital SLR, you have to ask yourself a question - what do you want to do with it.
If you want to turn pro in the future, then you probably know you have to spend a lot more money (thousand) to add on good equipment in the future for professional photos. I would suggest you to just buy this camera body without the kit lens. The lens is junk. You can't use that for professional shooting anyway. It's just waste of space. You probably get frustrated with its' limitation and mediocre results while learning anyway. It's pointless and not even good enough for beginners.
If you want an SLR for semi professional looking photos for business purpose. For example, you are an entrepreneur and you want to DIY and shoot some nice photos for marketing material. I love your spirit. But with that kit lens, it won't look semi professional. Again, body is OK, lens is useless.
If you want a DSLR as a hobby because you saw some nice photos in the magazine and you want to create that. Keep in mind that an entry level camera kit won't cover your needs at all. DSLR photography as a hobby is a money pit, you have to spend a lot more than you imagine, then you can finally create something semi pro or like pros. Otherwise, an entry level camera kit with a lame kit lens will barely make your photos better than your point and shoot snapshot. Sure, you get shallow depth of field with an SLR, that a point and shoot or bridge camera can't offer. But the rest of the picture quality is just not there.
If you want a DSLR as a hobby to produce better shots for your personal photo albums. You are not really trying to create something looking like magazine photos. You just want your photos to look better than your regular snapshots. Then you have you consider if you really want to much more than this camera kit to just achieve that. Because this camera kit won't necessarily make your photos look better. To achieve your goal with a DSLR, you need to spend more money to buy decent lens. Then you need to consider if it's worth it or you prefer to spend something on something else. Many friends of mine think they will be able to create better personal photos with an entry level camera kit and lots practice. They are disappointed the default lens won't create better shots after all the study and practice, and they only find out the lens is so limited and in poor quality. Their original budget was just the price of this camera kit. They have never been willing to spend a lot more. So they are stuck with a camera with a useless lens and no extra money for this hobby.
Do some research about good lens first, then you will know the real price tag of getting the right and necessary equipment for DSLR.
This lens is so lame, it makes people look uglier in the photo. I am not kidding. We know that those point and shoot cameras actually create excellent macro shots because the way the camera is built. If this lens doesn't make you look prettier than point and shoot, then what's the point having it?1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great DSLR for the creative photographer
by charlesdurdle on April 17, 2009
Pros: Price, kit lens, bracketing feature (for HDR images), decent flash, nice screen (both in clarity and functions it shows), very robust feature settings, lightweight, easy to use out of the box, battery life, this camera won't be obsolete for 20+ years
Cons: no date stamp on images, only RAW+ large image no RAW +m or small, smallish grip, big learning curve to exploit the features, strobe flash for autofocus in dark rooms, owners manual could be better

Summary: My dad was a professional photographer in the 70s and 80s and I have been an avid photographer for a while. Until digital, I used a Pentax ME Super 35mm and sometimes a Yashica D twin lens medium format.
The first digital camera I ever saw, I bought. It was a Casio QV-10, 320X240 for $300 in 1997. I then got a Kodak DC215 1MP.
My last camera was a Canon Powershot A610 5MP point and shoot. It did a GREAT job for snapshots.
I wanted to step up to a DSLR to tap into my creative side.
CONS: NO DATE STAMP - This is my biggest beef! Canon uses the EXIF system to implant date, time, f-stop, ISO speed, shutter speed, etc into the image. My A610 only has date stamp on 1600X1200. It may be weird to date stamp a top quality photo, this camera is made for soccor moms and proud fathers, not a pro. I still like to print them out to give to relatives and it would be real nice to have a date stamp. Also a name stamp (type in your name) would be nice so noone would steal your photos. ONLY RAW +L - I like to shoot raw but would like the option of saving it as a 2.5MP JPEG so I could 'preview' the RAW before converting it (not really a big deal). I am male and have big hands and the grip feels small but my tiny mother in law likes it (personal taste). This thing is a computer, many different modes and styles and functions, may take a while to really understand it all and the owners manual is good for getting started, not real good for advanced features. STROBE FLASH FOR AF - when I'm shooting people and the flash strobes, some people think I've taken the shot and start to move, my A610 p+s uses a red beam for AF.
2 BIGGEST PROS: BRACKETING - this is the reason I chose the XS over Nikon D40 or D60. It has both Auto Exposure Bracketing and color bracketing and its 1 button for 3 images, perfect for HDR! Other big pro is that it could be a great camera for years and years to come. Lenses and accessories will still be available for a very long time. If you hook up a $1500 USM AF super zoom lens, you'll get shots like the pros. Only Canon and Nikon are generally used by the pros and can rightfully claim they are pretty much future-proof.
Other pros (pretty much same as Nikon): good kit lens, flash is decent if you don't want to spend $300 and lug it around, screen is easy to read in direct sunlight and show settings in an easy to read format, very lightweight and small for a DSLR, battery life is excellent - I get 300-400ish shots with full AF, screen on and some flash.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Nikon D40 or D60 would have been my choice except no bracketing on either model and lenses were a bit more expensive in general. Olympus e520 was OK but has a smaller sensor and much less local availability for new and used accessories. PENTAX K2000 - much less local availability but it comes with an external flash and can use ALL the old Pentax lenses. SONY ALPHA A300 was available and uses the Minolta lenses but image quality was a lot worse than Canon and Nikon.
BOTTOM LINE: Great for people who want a camera for a long time, want to use it creatively and don't care about spending a little more cash in the future. I think the Canon edges out the others just a little bit. If you just want to point-and-shoot, forget this or any DSLR.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Fantastic Camera for Making the leap into dSLRs
by kalel130 on August 4, 2009
Pros: The Camera has intuitive controls with dedicated buttons for almost any option. This means less time trying to navigate thru menus, more time taking pictures. Vibrant screen
Cons: MegaPixel count close to on market point-and-shoots, flash can be sluggish to recharge if taking a series of quick shots

Summary: The Rebel EOS XS delivers. I've worked with this camera for eight months now and I've held off reviewing because I've wanted to provide my accurate opinion. this camera performs rock solid in any situation, and it's pictures look absolutely beautiful. It's a fantastic camera for hobbyists and amateurs alike. The XS delivers dedicated buttons for almost any feature which is rare in the dSLR realm. Most cameras will have you struggling thru menus within menus to find options. The menu system it does have is simple to navigate and honestly makes sense, which is a nice departure from typical menu systems that have options spread out between multiple in-menus.
Is this camera the end-all, be-all of digital photography? Of course not, but this camera does exactly what it's supposed to do and it does it amazing. I've taken photos with this camera that rival my sister's wedding pictures which were taken on a Nikon D300. It's a fantastic learning camera that will assist you in every way.
As you get more comfortable with the camera you can start exploring it's different modes. Go from fully automatic to completely manual in just a couple turns of the dial on top. I found the viewfinder to be nice and large and that I could hold up the camera comfortably; it's much lighter than a traditional SLR and I must say that it does help when trying to hold zoom lenses by hand.
I don't use the included software (I use Aperture 2) so I can't comment on that, but I can say if its as user friendly as the camera then it should be great too.
It's true you can get more expensive dSLRs out there that will have higher MP counts and ISO levels (although I don't understand the appeal of having astronomically large iso levels - unless you love grainy shots) but IMHO I believe unless you are a professional and looking for the absolute top-of-the-line, you're wasting your money if you decided to go with a different camera just because it's more expensive. When I was in the market I was considering the Nikon D60, but after looking at and reading some reviews I decided to go with the Rebel and I'm glad I did. I couldn't get be happier.
This is a not an investment you will regret in any manner; if you are in the market and looking for a great dSLR, stop reading reviews - go out and get this camera -
Starting off? this is a great launch pad :)
Pros: Great Photo quality, great metering, has everything you need to start up and get shooting and you dont need no 1000$ setup to make your images look good this will start you off just fine.
Cons: Would have like to see the infrared on this as well as audio and video, though there is a video hack floating around in the cloud.
Summary: All in all a great camera to get your creative juices flowing. Aftab Sayed says "GET ONE" I Have it.
