Canon Japan today unveil the EOSDigital RebelXS , a little sidekick to the critically praised Rebel XSi DSLR camera . This is good intelligence for everyone but Nikon . When Ireviewedthe Canon XSi , the only matter that sadden me was its price rag , $ 200 more than the Nikon D60 , but with enough performance to merit the step up . The XS can do almost everything theXSican do , with a few trade - offs for what sounds like a $ 200 price drop curtain . Update : elaborate specification comparability chart below .

Here ’s the trade-off : The XS ’s sensor is 10.1 megapixel rather of the XSi ’s 12.2 . The XS ’s LCD blind size is 2.5″ , versus the XSi ’s 3 incher . And the XS has a 7 - point AF sensor rather than a 9 point . In other words , nothing that ’s going to keep an enthusiastic amateur photographer up at night .
Above , I said “ what voice like a $ 200 cost dip ” because Canon is acknowledging the XS but ca n’t yet substantiate the damage . They do confess that it will be taking the position of the Rebel XTi , and by any evaluation the XS is a far superscript machine . It ’s got Canon ’s DigicIII central processor for better images and libertine speeds , rather than the XTi ’s DigicIII . More importantly , it has the Live prospect that Ifinally figured out , a utilitarian tool on many juncture . It gets 50 % more shelling life , and weighs 2.5 oz lighter than XTi . Not only that , but when you buy the body with kit lens system , you get the nicer , image - stabilized 18 - 55 mm lense that currently get in the XSi ’s outfit .

The funniest thing is , because of the lower megapixelage , the XS is the first of this series able to draw off inexhaustible consecutive large , okay JPEGs . The XSi can do 53 in a row , but this one can go until the SD card is chock full .
So bottom short letter , you get most of the XSi ’s performance enhancement , presumably priced in Canon ’s $ 600 ( body only ) and $ 700 ( with kit lens ) XTi slots . We should have prescribed price and availability verification next month , but for now , look over the specs and start saving your bean . [ Canon ]
