the EOS Rebel
XS/1000D
O
ne of the fi rst steps in photography is learning the
camera so thoroughly that you can operate it with no
hesitation and without hunting for controls. By knowing the
camera and lens controls well, you can make adjustments
instinctively and confi dently so that you don’t miss getting the
shots you want.
The simple design of the EOS Rebel XS/1000D makes master-
ing it both easy and fun; yet despite the simplicity, the camera
off ers full-function features for exceptional creative control.
Internally, Canon’s 210.1-megapixel CMOS (complementary
metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor and the DIGIC III Image
Processor deliver dependably vivid, crisp images, especially at
the highest image-quality settings.
