There's not much new about the flash performance, but a few items have changed, including the release hook and retention rails in the pop-up flash, which are now plastic instead of metal.
Adjusting the flash exposure compensation isn't as easy as before, however. Whereas you used to find it just below AE bracketing on the second Record menu, now it's buried on the second Settings menu, at the bottom of the list, under Flash Control. Then you have to scroll to the Built-in flash func. That's four steps where you used to make only two to adjust flash exposure compensation. Otherwise, the built-in flash performs well, capable of good exposures out to 15 feet at wide angle.
Coverage at this distance isn't very even, but it serves better at closer distances anyway. The advantage to SD is that you're less likely to damage the simpler connector interface by inserting the card incorrectly, whereas the CompactFlash header's many pins are often damaged when beginners try to insert the cards sideways.
SD cards cannot be put in sideways, have a sturdier, simpler contact design, and the cards are also now quite affordable and common, so the time was ripe for a switch. Pros who carry a Rebel as a backup might be a little annoyed to have to carry two types of card, but one 8GB SDHC card goes a long way and pros with 1D-type bodies will already have an SD card for their second slot. Whereas the power pads on the NB-2LH battery used in the XTi could easily cause a fire if exposed to metal in a bag or pocket, the new LP-E5 battery's contacts are concealed inside a small protrusion out the side of the battery, making a pants fire less likely.
Which is nice. The battery door's hinge is no longer as robust as the fine metal hinge that locked into a metal bracket with a springloaded pin in past models. The new design is quite similar to the Nikon D60's door hinge, a plastic arrangement that allows removal with a quick pull on the door at a 45 degree angle. There are many other little changes that are worthy of note, including a new Continuous Self-timer mode that allows capture of many shots in succession.
So though the XS has a powerful processor, Canon chose not to use it for capturing smoother images, as the XSi does. Canon's literature says that the Auto Lighting Optimizer mode uses Canon's Face Detection technology to make sure faces are exposed properly in backlit situations.
Unlike Nikon's D-Lighting, however, it cannot be applied after capture. It's designed to enhance photographs for direct printing, camera to printer, via PictBridge. We didn't notice much of an effect in our tests, though. The Canon XS's highest ISO setting remains low compared with other recent offerings from other companies, ranging from to 1, Image quality across the range is good, except in certain situations, with ISO shots producing good 13xinch prints, and ISO 1, shots looking good at 8x10 inches.
The grip is great, making the camera feel a little less tiny, and the curves make handling the camera comfortable all around. Save for the new ISO button's position, controls are very good, improved when the larger LCD eliminated the left-side buttons.
Checking exposure and focus is a lot easier with the larger LCD, and thanks to Live View, you can quickly check focus before you capture. The new image-stabilized lens included with the Canon XS is excellent, quite an improvement over the last model. Its zoom ring works more smoothly, and the knurled grip is easier to hold. Image stabilization works very well, serving up more high quality shots in very low light. The lens isn't USM, which means it doesn't have an ultrasonic motor for fast, nearly silent focusing, but the motor isn't disagreeably loud at all, and it's fast enough.
Frame rate. When shooting in RAW mode, this frame rate is cut in half, down to 1. The shutter sound is different from the XTi, but still includes a lot of whirring and stomping, instead of a nice, simple click-click. Some might prefer the winding sound, but to me it draws too much attention. The new lens release button makes it a little easier to change lenses, and while it's hard to get used to a Canon SLR with a small SD card door, it does fit the small body of the Rebel XS.
It has thrown me on occasion when my standard complement of CF cards was no help after I'd filled an SD card. Now I carry both. Shooting in Live View mode is pretty easy once you get used to it; though focusing by pressing the AE-Lock button is a little cumbersome when shooting from odd angles.
I suppose they separated the buttons to avoid the confusion of the mirror going up when you half-press the shutter button. Surely that would make many users think they'd taken a picture, as it did with the early Olympus live-view SLRs.
And in "Live" AF mode, it's a lot slower than some digicams, especially in low light with camera movement, so I'm sure that's why they left AF activation on the AE-Lock button. As well as it works, I recommend against using the Live View mode as a default shooting method.
Use it for fine focusing while shooting from a tripod, where you can afford the time to confirm or specify which focus point or area is in use, or when shooting from odd angles, but you get better camera stability when shooting with the camera held to your face than you do holding it out in front of you. Battery life also drops from to shots when shooting in Live View, so invest in a spare battery if Live View is your thing. There's so much about the XS that's similar to the XTi that there's not much new to say about the camera shooting experience.
It works well, is fun to shoot with, and captures pretty good images. Speed, unfortunately is not up to the XTi's standard, and if that's important to you, consider the Rebel XSi. Canon has made many changes in how they compensate for noise, especially chroma noise, and in specific situations, there are demosaicing errors that create disturbing patterns that are difficult to remove.
Yes, there's noise, but it's hardly noticeable, which is impressive for ISO 1, Remember that these images above are shown at percent, and captured at ISO 1, There's a little more sharpening applied to the XS images, which makes images pop better for consumers.
You can see that there is slightly less detail, but there is much less chroma noise, especially in the shadows. The demosaicing errors mentioned above are really the only major aspect we find problematic about the Canon Rebel XS. And the fact is that many people won't see it at all. Ironically, as you raise the ISO on the Rebel XS, some of these artifacts become less noticeable, especially the diagonal bands.
When we printed the images to see when the artifacts would appear, we found that the color errors appeared early on, affecting images at ISO when printed at 8x We knew what we were looking for, however; most would not notice the effect at all. The diagonal banding didn't appear until 11x14, and didn't really stand out until printed at 13x19 inches.
So take it with a few sprinkles of salt, and the XS is still a good, usable camera. You have to decide whether the above artifacts would bother you if you didn't see them at 8x10, especially when you consider how little you paid for your rather capable SLR. You can use the Rebel XS to get great images almost all of the time, and you'll get impressive detail at all ISO settings, so we think the tradeoff of artifacts against high ISO performance is worth it for the average consumer photographer on a budget.
The Canon Rebel XS is a good quality digital SLR camera, well-suited to the consumer shooter looking for a little more from a digital camera. Canon sought to compete with Nikon and Pentax at the extreme low price level, and they had to cut a few corners.
The body isn't quite as nice as the Canon Rebel XSi, and the image quality suffers from a few more hitches, but you'll only notice if you zoom to percent onscreen and search around like we do. The Canon Rebel XS's image stabilized lens and impressive high ISO performance should mitigate most of the other problems, and the Rebel XS's fast autofocus should make this year's holiday pictures better than ever. Canon will likely sell a lot of Rebel XS kits. It's a pretty good SLR at a pretty astonishingly low price, and that's what it was designed to be.
Most consumers will be very happy with the Canon Rebel XS, thanks to the high quality, image-stabilized lens, the well-rounded feature-set, and impressive print quality.
But there are a few technical foibles that enthusiasts will do well to take note of. Still, that won't affect most shooters, as it's the rare person who enlarges to 11xinches, let alone 13x19 or 16x The good news is that Canon made minor but important improvements to the grip and controls, and kept most of what is great about the XS's predecessor. Adding Live View and image stabilization addressed a few elements that other companies, namely Olympus and Pentax, have had in their favor at the low-price end of the market.
If anyone knows how to address the image stabilization problem, it's Canon, with years of experience and a proven track record. There is surprisingly little corner softness and chromatic aberration, and the lens's build is better than past models.
It delivers such a good focal length range with so little weight that I recommend most people buy the kit to get this fine little lens for those days they just want a light, high-quality optic along.
Shutter lag lengthens in Live View mode thanks to the need to close the shutter before the actual exposure, but that's to be expected.
It's still very fast. Learn to shoot with the optical viewfinder by default, leaving Live View for special situations and tripod use, and you'll be happier with the experience. Most of the benefit of an SLR can be found in that optical viewfinder, with a truly real-time view of your subject. Enthusiast photographers won't like this, but this isn't an enthusiast camera.
