Canon EOS 1000D / XS video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Canon EOS 1000D / XS. This demonstrates the 1000D / XS's design, controls, live view and PC remote control systems.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

If the video is unavailable, please try again later. This is due to maintenance at YouTube.

 










Good points

Image quality up with the best 10 Mpixel DSLRs.
Accurate Live View with contrast-AF option.
Kit includes stabilised lens.
PC remote control software supplied.

Bad points
Live View not as fuss-free as Sony A300.
Screen fixed in position, unlike A300.
Slow RAW continuous shooting.
Some features downgraded from 400D / XTi.
