What's in a name? When it comes to the Canon Rebel XS, maybe not much. Or in Europe, where it was called the EOS 1000D. In Japan, however, the name was much more significant: Canon EOS F – and the F stood for "Family" and "Friendly".
Released back in 2008, the Canon Rebel XS was a great little camera, but it didn't wear its heart on its sleeve in quite the same way as the Kiss F did – and that feels like a bit of a shame, to me.
