Canon EOS Rebel XS DSLR Camera, Black with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens {10MP}

Weighing just 450g, the EOS Rebel XS is Canon's lightest D-SLR to date, with a compact, ergonomic body designed for comfortable handling. A bright 2.5" LCD screen lets users instantly review images for composition, sharpness and focus - or, thanks to a wide viewing angle, instantly share shots with friends. The LCD also provides access to a fast, easy-to-read menu system, which uses tabs to avoid unnecessary scrolling. Inherited from the latest EOS models, the menu system includes direct control over external devices such as Speedlite flash units.

Other Features
For shooting situations where using the viewfinder is impractical - or where a tripod is used - users can switch to Live View mode, which displays the scene as a smooth, 30fps video feed on the LCD. An optional grid line and histogram display can be selected to help with shot composition and exposure. Two AF modes are available for use with Live View: Quick AF, which momentarily flips the camera's mirror to engage the AF sensor, and Live AF, which uses contrast information for compact camera-style focusing.
