Canon announced this week that it would be adding a new D-SLR camera to its line in the U.S. and other countries. The new camera will be the Canon EOS Rebel XS. The Rebel XS will replace both the Rebel XT and XTi.
The Rebel XS gets a 2.5-inch LCD, 10-megapixel sensor and Live View feature. Live View allows you to frame a shot with the LCD and see the image live just like you would through the view finder.
The XS has a 7-point autofocus system and can shoot bursts at 3 fps until your memory card fills up. The camera saves images to SD/SDHC cards rather than the much more expensive CompactFlash cards of higher-end D-SLR cameras.
Pricing for the new Rebel XS is not yet announced, but its big brother the Rebel XSi retails in the $799 to $899 range. That would likely put the Rebel XS at about $200 less than the XSi. The EOS Rebel XTi the Rebel XS is replacing was first introduced way back in 2006.
