Mixed in all the hoopla of SLRs today, Canon sneakily released the baby brother to the Canon Rebel XSi. Officially called the Canon Rebel XS, or the EOS 1000d).

We think this was Canon's effort to stay competitive in the low price SLR market. Nikon's D40 (priced at $499) seemed to help sway buyers towards Nikon. Canon's counter punch? The Canon Rebel XS. We think this will turn out to be one of the top rated digital cameras of the year. We'll have a full review for you soon.
For you comparison shoppers out there, here is some online pricing for the Canon Rebel XS and the Canon Rebel XSI best price. Both include the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.
