10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail to make A4-size prints,
even when cropping your image. Canon’s CMOS sensor technology also ensures
crisp, sharp images even in low-light conditions.
Up to 3 frames per second
For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of
large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory
card is full. With a 2GB card, this lets you shoot up to 514 images without
a pause.
7-point wide-area AF
A wide-area Auto Focus system uses 7 separate focusing points to lock onto
subjects fast. The central focus point enables focusing even under low-light
or low-contrast conditions.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system guards images against the effects of
dust in three ways: reducing dust generated inside the camera, shaking dust
from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off, and mapping
stubborn dust spots for removal with the provided Digital Photo Professional
software.

Latest Technology for Outstanding Images.
Outstanding Image Quality: 10.1 Megapixel CMOS
sensor with DIGIC III Image Processor.
Canon’s CMOS
(complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with
exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. It
offers many of the same new technologies first seen in Canon’s professional
EOS-1D Mark III to maximize each pixel's light gathering efficiency. It’s an
APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm), and there's an effective 1.6x increase in the
lens’s marked focal length when attached. Canon’s DIGIC III Image Processor
dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all camera operations for
intuitive operation. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel XS’s sensor to
achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.
10.1 Megapixel APS-C Size CMOS Sensor
DIGIC III Image Processor
Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of
digital photography, the EOS Rebel XS’s DIGIC III Image Processor works hand in
hand with Canon’s CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. The
entire electronic system is totally redesigned, giving the camera its incredible
combination of speed and image quality. Digital noise is significantly reduced
in shadow areas, and color reproduction is superior.
DIGIC III Image Processor
Control Images Right in the Camera.
Auto Lighting Optimizer for highlight/shadow
control, and Picture Style settings for in-camera color, contrast, and sharpness
control.
Auto Lighting Optimizer
The EOS Rebel XS’s Auto Lighting Optimizer is yet another image-quality tool
that comes to the rescue in tricky lighting conditions. It can actually lighten
dark areas of a scene while ensuring that bright areas maintain tonal detail. In
addition, it can increase contrast in “flat” lighting, such as overcast days.
It’s now available in all shooting modes, including P, Tv, Av, and Manual.
Picture Style Settings
With the EOS Rebel XS’s Picture Style technology, photographers can change the
look of their digital photographs. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast
settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. Changing a Picture
Style setting is almost like a 35mm film user switching from one type of color
film to another. In addition to six preset Picture Style settings, Canon offers
additional downloadable “Picture Style Files” that can be installed into your
camera for even more imaging options at your fingertips.
Professional-Caliber AF.
High-speed, wide-area 7-point AF with center
cross-type sensors.
The EOS Rebel XS
features a high-speed, wide area 7-point AF system. It can focus using One-Shot
AF mode, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and Manual. The center, cross-type focus point
operates flawlessly in lower-light and lower-contrast settings. In Live View
Function, the EOS Rebel XS can focus manually, with 5x or 10x magnification for
focusing clarity.

Precise Operation.
Excellent performance with 3.0 fps continuous
shooting and burst rate up to 514 Large JPEGs (until memory card is full).
The EOS Rebel XS
operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of
intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag,
the EOS Rebel XS is one of the fastest cameras available today. It can shoot up
to 3.0 fps (frames per second), in bursts of up to 514 JPEGs or 5 RAW files, so
you'll never, ever miss a shot.

Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function.
The EOS Rebel XS has
a bright 2.5-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of
170º. It’s perfect for Live View composition or viewing camera settings like AF,
ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options. And the maximum brightness
of the EOS Rebel XS’s LCD monitor is about 30 greater than its predecessor,
which is a big benefit when you're using the camera in bright sunlight.
2.5" LCD Monitor
Live View Function
Live View Function enables you to view your subjects directly on the 2.5-inch
LCD monitor. It’s easy to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise
manual focus. And now, there are two ways to use Autofocus along with Live View
Function in the EOS Rebel XS. You can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for
keeping lines in your subject straight in your pictures. In the studio, Live
View Function can be used remotely via a computer through the EOS Rebel XS’s USB
connection, and the included EOS Utility software.
In Live View Function, the EOS Rebel XS has two AF modes: Quick mode, which uses
the camera’s standard 7-point AF system, and Live mode, which is a
contrast-based AF system that reads the sharpness of subjects right from the
imaging sensor, and can be overridden by pressing the AF mode selection button.
A familiar feature in PowerShot cameras, Live mode AF uses similar technologies
to achieve focus, while Quick mode is more appropriate for capturing action or
for shooting in low light.
The target area for Live Mode AF is at the
center by default, but it can be moved around most of the picture area with the
cross keys on the back of the camera.
For
Capturing Cleaner Images.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System.
Photographers who
must change lenses in dusty environments will find the advanced Canon EOS
Integrated Cleaning System a tremendous time saver. Dust that settles on the
sensor surface is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor
Unit routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or
off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the
sensor collects the loosened dust. Dust particles can also be automatically
removed via software. By shooting a plain white subject, the photographer can
acquire dust position data that is transmitted along with the image (whether
JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) version 3.3 or later
software can be used to manually or automatically erase the dust spots. It’s not
one feature, it’s a built-in system to minimize the effect of dust in
high-resolution digital images.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
A key element of minimizing dust is preventing it from clinging to the front
surface of the imaging sensor. To combat against this, the EOS Rebel XS features
a Canon-designed Self Cleaning Sensor Unit. The low-pass filter at the front of
the sensor shakes off dust automatically with ultrasonic vibrations, removing
dust from the sensor assembly. The EOS Rebel XS also has a coating on the front
surface of the low-pass filter, to increase its resistance to dust sticking to
the sensor.

Dust Delete Data Detection
Dust that may still remain on the front of the sensor can also be erased with
software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.3 or
later software. A simple test shot of a plain, white object can be taken, using
a menu setting. This Dust Delete Data image is analyzed in-camera, and the
location and size of any remaining dust is added to any subsequent pictures
taken. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and
can be either manually or automatically erased in Canon’s DPP version 3.3 and
later software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image,
perfect for printing or archiving.

Compact Power In Your Hands.
Canon's lightest and most compact EOS Digital SLR to
date.*
Measuring 4.96" x 3.8" x 2.4" and weighing in at under 16
oz., the EOS Rebel XS is indeed the smallest digital Rebel ever produced. Its
lightweight and compact design does not, however, leave out controls and
displays one would expect from an EOS Digital camera. The EOS Rebel XS has the
full array of buttons and controls found on the Rebel XSi, plus a 2.5-inch,
230,000-pixel LCD monitor, which is perfect for composing in Live View mode, or
reviewing photos already recorded onto the camera’s SD/SDHC memory card
