About the Canon EOS 1000D DSLR with 18-55mm Lens
The Canon EOS 1000D (also known as the Rebel XS) is a straightforward entry-level DSLR designed for beginners. Its 10.1-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers much better image quality than a phone or compact camera, especially in low light, and the included EF-S 18-55mm lens covers everyday wide to short telephoto shots. The 2.5-inch LCD supports Live View for composing on screen, and the 7-point autofocus system is simple and reliable. Lightweight and easy to handle, the 1000D is a great way to learn manual controls and interchangeable lenses without spending a lot.
