More juice: Canon says that the XS will have about 50 percent more shots per battery charge compared to the XTi and the XS will use the same LP-E5 battery as the XSi.RAW burst shooting drops to 1.5fps for up to 6 shots, also due to the above-mentioned memory constraints. Better JPG burst: The XS will let you shoot JPGs at 3 frames per second up to the capacity of your SD card.Live View: The XS will have the same on-screen framing as the XSi, so users stepping up from digital compacts will have a smooth transition.Digic III processing: This should help with overall image quality, noise reduction, and performance, but onboard memory constraints mean the XS will have 12-bit A/D processing, so you won’t find Canon’s Highlight Tone Priority here.Image Stabilization: It comes with Canon’s updated EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II IS kit lens.What does the Rebel XS have that the XTi didn’t?


Going forward, Canon will keep all its SLRs up to date with the newest technology. A replacement for the EOS Rebel XTi, the XS does away with the company’s method of letting last year’s model serve as its bargain SLR. After seeing Nikon spring back to life with its high-end powerhouses, Canon has decided to change its entry-level strategy starting with the new EOS Rebel XS.
