Canon EOS 1000D is a 10.1-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon Inc. on 10 June 2008. It is known as the EOS Kiss F in Japan and the EOS Rebel XS in the United States. The 1000D is an entry-level DSLR that has been described as being a step below the 450D. [Butler, Richard and Lars Rehm. [http://www.dpreview.com/previews/Canon_1000D/ "Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel XS Hands-on Preview"] . DPReview. June 2008. Accessed August 15, 2008.] It will retail for $699 USD.

The camera shares a few features with the 450D. It offers Live preview, DiG!C III, and SDHC media storage. However, it only has seven focus points (opposed to nine) and does not have spot light metering. The 1000D is also the second Canon EOS model (after the 450D) to exclusively use SDHC instead of CompactFlash.
