The decision for new buyers really boils down to whether you want Live View and a stabilised kit lens. Most new buyers will, so would naturally head for the 1000D / XS. Anyone who’s in the market for an entry-level DSLR and isn’t bothered about Live View though should keep an eye out for discounted 400D / XTi’s.

With the popularity of the EOS 400D, this model isn't going to lose any points with it being the younger, prettier, thinner and more intelligent sibling. The great performance results I achieved from the camera coupled with Canon's notorious ease of use means the EOS 1000D is perfect for its target audience.

Having helped create the 'affordable' DSLR, Canon has taken a while to respond to the latest, comparatively wallet-friendly offerings from the likes of Nikon and Sony. The 1000D is a pretty convincing response - it does just about everything it needs to do, and everything it does, it does well. It can produce great images at any of its ISO settings and, viewed as a whole, makes a great first DSLR.
