Latest News
2012 April
16th There is a problem with some cameras (EOS 60D, EOS 450D, EOS 500D, EOS 600D & EOS 1000) and Eye-Fi X2 series cards (incl. Connect X2, Mobile X2, Pro X2). This from Canon:
It is possible that the EOS digital SLR cameras which have had their main PCB replaced during the specific timeframes listed above may not turn on normally when Eye-Fi brand cards are used, or if any brand of SD card is removed from the camera within a certain time after opening the card slot cover. If the camera is not turning on normally when using an Eye-Fi brand card, a temporary workaround is to use SD cards instead of the Eye-Fi card when capturing images. If the camera is not operating normally when the SD card is promptly removed after opening the card slot cover, a temporary workaround is to remove the battery pack, then re-insert the battery pack.
2010 October
13th Firmware update to V 1.0.7
Fixes a rare phenomenon in which “Cannot create folder” is displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor, after which shooting is no longer possible with the SD card in your camera.
2009 October
13th Firmware update to V 1.0.6
Version 1.0.6 incorporates the following changes:
Some cameras may exhibit a phenomenon in which the LCD monitor does not display, the shutter does not release, and the busy indication remains lit in the viewfinder.
The message, “Err 99 Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to <OFF> and <ON> again or re-install the battery”, appears on the camera’s LCD monitor, and after the above operation is carried out, the LCD monitor displays in a language that is different from the actual language setting.
April
23rd Firmware update to V 1.0.5
Firmware Version 1.0.5 incorporates the following improvements.
Supports the AF assist beam feature of the new flash, Speedlite 270 EX, which is scheduled to be released in April 2009.

Specs below are from Canon
10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail to make A4-size prints, even when cropping your image. Canon’s CMOS sensor technology also ensures crisp, sharp images even in low-light conditions.
Up to 3 frames per second
For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory card is full. With a 2GB card, this lets you shoot up to 514 images without a pause.
7-point wide-area AF
A wide-area Auto Focus system uses 7 separate focusing points to lock onto subjects fast. The central focus point enables focusing even under low-light or low-contrast conditions.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system guards images against the effects of dust in three ways: reducing dust generated inside the camera, shaking dust from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off, and mapping stubborn dust spots for removal with the provided Digital Photo Professional software.
2.5″ LCD with Live View mode
In Live View mode, use the bright 2.5” LCD to frame and take shots from awkward angles. During playback, the LCD provides detailed review of shots, and features a wide viewing angle for easy sharing with friends.
Large viewfinder
A large, bright viewfinder allows framing of subjects even in the brightest conditions.
DIGIC III processing
Canon’s cutting-edge DIGIC III processor – as used in professional EOS models – delivers rapid operation, accurate colour reproduction, fast start-up times, and low power consumption.
SD/SDHC memory card compatible
Shooting to the popular SD/SDHC memory card formats, the EOS 1000D is ideal for those who already own SD-compatible devices.
Total image control
Take control over the look and feel of your images with easy to use Picture Style presets. Contrast, sharpness and saturation can be customized in-camera or with Canon’s comprehensive software suite, supplied with the EOS 1000D.
Compact, ultra-lightweight body
The smallest and lightest Digital EOS model yet, the EOS 1000D weighs just 450g – and is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling.
EF lenses and accessories
The EOS 1000D is compatible with the complete range of EF/EF-S lenses, Speedlite EX flash units and EOS system accessories.

| CANON’S NEW EOS REBEL XS CAMERA LOOKS TO INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF DIGITAL SLR PHOTOGRAPHERSPhotographers Looking for the Next Step Up From Their Point-and-Shoot Camera Will Enjoy the High-End Features and Fun-to-Use SLR Technology of Canon’s Newest Rebel Camera
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., July 8, 2008 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today announced the introduction of the EOS Rebel XS, a new entry-level digital camera that affordably puts Canon SLR technology such as an Optical Imaged Stabilized lens and easy-to-use professional features into the hands of emerging photographers. Consumers looking to take their photography a step further and begin shooting with an SLR will find the transition easier than ever with Canon’s new Rebel XS digital SLR camera. From the parent photographing a little league game, to the tourist shooting a wondrous new city, the Canon Rebel XS camera makes photography easy for everyone. Canon has also introduced the latest model in the EX series of Speedlite flashes: the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera was designed to embody what customers 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 camerai. “We are proud to introduce the new EOS Rebel XS camera at a very exciting time in digital imaging. As consumers have fully embraced digital photography, with many consumers purchasing their second or third digital camera models, we see the Rebel XS as the bridge to help photographers cross over from the world of point-and-shoot cameras to digital SLR technology,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. A first in Canon’s EOS line-up, the Rebel XS camera’s continuous JPEG burst rate allows users to continuously shoot a scene until the memory card is at capacity. This will be particularly helpful for new photographers looking to capture that perfect image of a moving subject. The Live View function allows users to frame and shoot images in real time via the camera’s 2.5 inch LCD screen, a great feature for users accustomed to framing shots via LCD monitors on point-and-shoot digital cameras. The Camera’s Auto Lighting Optimizer detects dark areas of an image and automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to ensure optimal image results. The Canon Rebel XS allows greater ease of use through large control buttons and easy-to-see operating panel indications such as ISO settings visible through the viewfinder and Canon Speedlite controls through the camera LCD menu. The Rebel XS incorporates an APS-C size (22.2 x 14.8 mm) CMOS sensor with 10.1 million pixel images and Canon’s exclusive high-performance DIGIC III image processor to help deliver high levels of imaging performance and responsiveness. It also has Canon’s exclusive EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which features both hardware and software-based dust removal technology. Additionally, weighing less than 1 lb./450 grams, this camera is the lightest body in the EOS digital series camera lineup. The EOS Rebel XS camera is compatible with Canon’s extensive lineup of more than 60 EF and EF-S lenses, including the Image Stabilizer-equipped EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, which is included in the camera’s standard zoom lens kit package. The Canon Rebel XS will be available in black or silver coloured body variations. Canon Speedlite 430EX II In the Box Though standard in the EOS Rebel XS kit, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is also available as a stand-alone purchase and carries an estimated retail price of $199.99. About Canon U.S.A., Inc. |
Below are all the pre-release rumours for the 1000D
9th Is the 1000D out tomorrow?
A Spanish dealer site certainly thinks so and is running the advert to the right. Its’s not currently linked to anything though.
It was pointed out that the French ad below actually refers to the ‘the TWO Canon stars of the Summer’
May 27th I’m told (thanks) that the 350D is no longer listed on the Canon UK site.
23rd How about the 10th of June (Tuesday)…
A French site is claiming that Canon are starting to push the date with cryptic announcements.
‘Remember this date… June 10, 2008’
Those of you with longer rumour memories may remember the countdown clock on the Canon CZ site and the announcement in Hebrew on the Canon Israel site
Re-live those memories in the Rumour archive starting on the 29th July 2006, where people were eagerly waiting for a 1Ds3, 3D and 5D2 … we got the 400D, is this the build up for the 1000D/XS?
Of course it could just be a new range of point ‘n’ click cameras… :-)
K&B [Swedish -link fixed] has a mention of a possible 1000D/ Rebel XS along with some suggested (guessed ;-) specs
10.1 MP CMOS, Digic III, 7-point AF, 3 fps, 2.5 inch LCD, Live View, Interface similar to the 450D, Weight 540g and priced to compete with other introductory DSLRs
Since the 350D is still available, expect this to vanish pretty soon… (or not)
17th The D2000 and D6000 are also mentioned – these are Kodak/Canon hybrid cameras from the end of the last century ;-) More info
14th Many thanks to everyone who sent screen grabs of various parts of the Windows version of the help files in DPP 3.4
Bob Atkins says that a 1000D was mentioned to him a while ago, but with no info.
V3.4.1 for the Mac does not seem to have any of the camera info (just in case someone inside Canon gets some hassle, it wasn’t the Mac people! ;-)
So it has auto dust delete…
You can fix lens aberrations
It supports RAW format. (BTW the D6000/2000 are rather old digital cameras from canon)
13th So now we have a 12MP 450D, what’s next in the numbering scheme?
Well we’re told that Canon have just released DPP 3.4 on their US website and the help file contains several mentions of a Rebel XS / 1000D if you look inside the contents of the files… (thanks for the info)
A new low end DSLR? The EOS 1000D?
I’ve just looked at the Mac version V3.4.1 and have not found anything yet. Anyone looked in the Windows version, and was there a V3.4 at all?
If anyone finds anything of interest, please do let us know :-)
If Canon’s film camera numbering scheme is anything to go by, then a 1000D would be an entry level camera.
A bit of camera history delving finds that the Rebel XS was the US name for the EOS500 and the EOS 1000 the rest of the world name for the Rebel S
Given they still sell the 400D and we only just have the 450D I do wonder just what you’d get in a 1000D
