Product Description:
Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series -- a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.

After having it for a couple of days, I can say that the image quality on just the auto shots are amazing. I bought the book for "dummies" for the xs to help with the advanced exposure options. But for now the auto is damn good. Then again I'm coming from a point and shoot.

I debated on getting this or the XSi, and went with this. It's 100 bucks cheaper, and this was my first DSLR. I didn't need the bigger screen or the extra MP. What I don't like about this camera is the fact it won't accept a wireless shutter remote. Other than that, I am happy with my first DSLR. If you were to get a DSLR just to replace your point and shoot or your first DSLR, this is your camera.

Excellent photos. Live view is awesome. Will have to get some hi-power lenses. Works great on my telescope.

I owned a Nikon D40 and used it heavily for six months last year. I wanted to try Canon just to see what it was like. I'll compare to the D40 as I remember it:
Pros:
* Great image quality, low noise even at ISO 800, nice bokeh, sharp -- seems to me to be better image quality than the D40 (newer sensor and processor maybe?)
* Nice features the D40 doesn't have like exposure bracketing, white balance bracketing, sensor cleaning
* More physical buttons than the Nikon, so you can set e.g. ISO or white balance without going through menus
* More auto-focus points
* Feels really light weight
Cons:
* Menu system is fine, maybe better than Nikon's, but the controls just aren't as good as Nikon's. Especially as a left-hander, having almost all the buttons on the right felt so weird.
* Feels cheaper, not as good a grip, too smooth. The rough pattern feel that other cameras has is much nicer to grip.
* Noisier auto focus, sounds like grinding gears, it's awful
* Live view mode is way too hard to access, like Canon was embarrassed by it (but I don't use liveview anyway, so no big deal)
(I returned the camera and bought a Nikon D3000 on Amazon instead. The ergonomics was a huge issue for me.)
My suggestion is to go to a physical store, try out the cameras in your hands and with your eyes (viewfinder) to see which *feels* right, then buy on Amazon. :-)

I just wanted to make a small review for the average Joe to read, mainly cause I know all the "camera guy" lingo and myself would rather just have a point black "Yes" or "No".
So in a word, "Yes". If you're thinking about grabbing this camera, do it, especially with the kit lens, it's a very nice lens for a kit anyway; you'll be able to do a lot with just that lens alone.
That's without touching in the camera, it does almost everything it's big brothers can do, with a lower price tag! So yes, buy it, use it, love it.
I do.
