Canon has melded the EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D and EOS Rebel XSi/450D to create the EOS Rebel XS/1000D, its latest entry-level digital SLR. Announced today, the new model combines the body, control layout, battery, SD/SDHC card slot and DIGIC III processing circuitry of the XSi/450D with the 10.08 million image pixel CMOS sensor and 2.5 inch (diagonal) rear LCD of the XTi/400D to come up with a starter camera that is expected to sell for about US$200 less than the XSi/450D.

Other differences include:

  • While most of what constitutes the XS/1000D comes from either the XSi/450D or XTi/400D, the 7-point autofocus system hails from 2005's XT/350D.
  • The XSi/450D fires at 3.5 fps, the XS/1000D at 3 fps. Canon is stating the Large Fine JPEG burst depth specification a bit differently with the new model, to emphasize that its smaller files (owing to the XS/1000D's lower resolution sensor) and reasonably quick SD/SDHC slot enable the camera to shoot continuously, at 3 fps, until the card is full (this trick will undoubtedly require a fast memory card). When set to RAW, the XS/1000D's frame rate drops to 1.5 fps, for a total of 6 frames before buffer stall sets in.
  • The XS/1000D shares its DIGIC III processor with the XSi/450D, but the new model's analog-to-digital conversions are at 12 bits per colour, rather than the 14 bits per colour of the XSi/450D (and all other DIGIC III-based Canon digital SLRs). The XS/1000D lacks the Highlight Tone Priority option of other DIGIC III SLRs too. It does have Live View, however, implemented with the same range of features and options as in the XSi/450D.
  • The XS/1000D's viewfinder magnification is slightly reduced from the XSi/450D.
  • The XS/1000D metering options are comprised of Evaluative, Centre Weighted and Partial but not the XSi/450D's Spot.
  • The new camera is compatible with Battery Grip BG-E5 and Remote Switch RS-60E3 (a wired remote), but not Wireless Remote Controller RC-1 or RC-5.

The price and ship date for the EOS Rebel XS/1000D will be revealed for the U.S. market on July 8, 2008. As noted, the price is expected to be about US$200 less than the EOS Rebel XSi/450D, which would make it roughly the price of the EOS Rebel XTi/400D now. The XTi/400D will continue to be sold in the U.S. through the month of June and into July at least, says Chuck Westfall, Technical Advisor at Canon USA.

What a weird product. That 1.5fps and 7pt AF is damn disappointing--get a 400D instead for cheaper.

It's $200 cheaper than the 450D which is significant, and I for one can't care less about FPS and 2 points loss of autofocus since I'm not a sport shooter. IMHO a very good step from Canon (Y).

I guess it will be alright for a beginner camera, live view is something i find very stupid considering it just drains battery etc, and 1.5fps when shooting RAW is pretty bad.

However it seems good in general, i will stick with my 400D i think :p

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
