”Dealzmodo: Canon Digital Rebel XT w/ 28-90mm Lens, $430
Sure, Canon's Digital Rebel XT is practically ancient at this point, a full two generations behind, but that doesn't mean it takes bad pictures. 'Cause it really doesn't. While $450 with a kit lens is nothing special, this deal comes with a with a mo' better 28-90mm lens, making the $430 price (free shipping!) noteworthy, and pretty shipshape for someone looking for the absolute cheapest DSLR.

More supposed info on the supra-entry level Rebel XS (1000D) DSLR Canon's rumored to be cooking up as a replacement for the XTi: The specs are just like the XTi, but with Live View tacked on. A 10.1MP sensor with a Digic III processor, 7-point AF, 3FPS bursts, 2.5-inch LCD (what, no screen love?), XSi-esque menus and Live View. And of course a "cheap price." We're thinking it'll go toe-to-toe with Sony's a300 on price (less than $700 for the kit), if not a bit lower, since the specs and positioning are comparable—XSi to a350, XS to a300 and D60. If this thing is real, expect more at Photokina in a few months. [Kamerabild via Photography Bay]New Entry-Level Canon Digital Rebel XS (1000D) DSLR Coming?
The most recent software update to Canon's Digital Photo Professional contained a reference in the help file to a previously unheard of DSLR, the Canon Rebel XS, aka 1000D. The old and crusty Rebel XTi is currently still hanging around as Canon's most entry-level DSLR (below the XSi)—the XS might be the fresh pony to supplant it as the very bottom end. No specs yet, so no hard indication other than the naming convention, but we'll probably hear more as we approach Photokina. [Bob Atkins via Photography Bay]DSLR Battlemodo Follow-Up
By now you've probably seen our Battlemodo between the four hottest entry-level DSLRs on the market—the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, the Sony Alpha a350, the Nikon D60 and the Olympus E-420. With 91 good-sized comments (and counting), there were obviously some issues raised that merited further investigation. Here are some new details, discussed by camera model.

This month, four eagerly awaited cameras all hit the market with a big ole thud: Canon's EOS Digital Rebel XSi, Sony's Alpha a350, Nikon's D60 and Olympus' E-420. They are not all evenly matched on paper, as you will see, and they certainly vary in price. But what's different about them, really? They are all aimed at people who wake up one morning and realize their point-and-shoot's pics are pretty crappy, people who don't consider themselves photographers but wouldn't mind spending a little money (under $1,000) to put those high-school photography lessons to practice with a decent body-and-lens kit. I decided to fiddle around with the four hottest new entry-level DSLRs and see what I could see.

We know that Canon's Digital Rebel XSi (EOS 450D to the rest of the world) has about the best feature set of any entry level DSLR. But what do the damn photos look like? DPReview already got their hands on a production model and have thrown up a gallery of sample shots. This one was shot with the new image stabilized kit lens at 800 ISO. Hit the jump for another shot at 1600 ISO to get a taste of how noisy (or not) the higher settings are, or just check out their whole gallery.

Unlike Nikon's D40x update, the D60, I'm pretty sure the Canon guy would've noticed if I swapped out my XTi with the XSi Indiana Jones style, and not just because it's tied to the table (I really wanted to). It feels more solid, both in the material (not as toy-like) and in the grip, which now uses the same kind of rubber roughage as the 40D to feel more manly.

Canon Expands Rebel Alliance With Live View 12-Megapixel EOS XSi
The rumors are true. Canon's took power features from the high-end EOS models and creature comforts from the PowerShot line, and merged them into the 12.2-megapixel EOS Rebel XSi DSLR, with Live View LCD view-finding (previously only seen on EOS-1D Mark III and 40D), a 3" LCD screen with 230,000 pixels, and the Digic III processor found in nearly every new Canon model. There will be two kits, body only for $800 and one with a starter 18-55mm lens for $900. Jump for full details and more pics.

Canon Announcing Digital Rebel XTi or EOS 5D Successor Jan. 24
Swedish Canon exec Robert Westin has apparently told the (also Swedish) site Kamerabild that Canon's announcing a new DSLR on Jan. 24, a week before PMA. The obvious choices are updates to either the Digital Rebel XTi (aka EOS 400D) or EOS 5D, since they're the two DSLR lines that've gone the longest without an update. More »
