Canon Rebel XS / EOS 1000 D?

Question

When will it be released in Australia / Asia and what will the price be ?

Answer 1

According to the "Ted's" Website...the 1000D will be around $1000 with the IS kit lens. But, you should be able to get it cheaper from other retailers or if paying cash.

But...the 450D with IS kit lens is only about $200 extra (worth it, in my opinion).

The 1000D is due around mid August...

Answer 2

I would say look for this camera in the coming months. It was only just announced, so give it about a month or so and it should begin to trickle into stores. If you're that anxious to get your hands on one, you can usually pre-order them from most camera stores once they have a definite price on it.

As far as a price goes, it is difficult to say. It is essentially a dumbed-down version of the XSi, and a slight upgrade for the XT (even though that technically was the XTi). I would say expect it to come very close in price to Nikon's D60 or Pentax's K200D, around $600-800 (allow the lower range to compete with Sony's alpha-200).

Hope that helps you out some eh?
