7 point wide area AF on the EOS 1000D
Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 7-point wide area AF system and up to 3fps continuous JPEG shooting until the memory card is full , the EOS 1000D represents a more affordable entry level camera than the really high-tech EOS 450D (Digital rebel XSi).

Compact and light weight
With the lightest body of the digital EOS range, the EOS 1000D incorporates a range of technologies used in Canon's professional EOS-1 series cameras, including the DIGIC III image processor, and Live View mode. For straight-from-the-box shooting, the EOS 1000D is available with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens – which includes 4-stop image stabilisation, ensuring superb performance even in low-light conditions.

The EOS 1000D is available from the end of July priced at £499.99 / €649.99 RRP inc. VAT for the EOS 1000D body only and £579.99 / €749.99 RRP inc. VAT for the EOS 1000D 18-55mm IS lens kit.
