Some of the symptoms as what is stated in Canon’s site: there are some cases where some cameras exhibit a phenomenon in which the LCD monitor has no display, the shutter won’t release, and the busy indicator light remains lit in the viewfinder, the message “Err 99 Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to and again or re-install the battery” appears on the camera’s LCD monitor, and also the LCD monitor displays a language that is different form the actual language setting. All of these problems will be fixed with the new firmware update released by Canon for Rebel XS cameras.

Nothing is better than Canon’s new EOS Rebel XS, with its powerful features including a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, Canon’s DIGIC III processor, fast shooting and more, it’s a digital powerhouse. Canon’s CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. The DIGIC III Image Processor is developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, it’s DIGIC III Image Processor works hand in hand with Canon’s CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. The EOS Rebel XS’s Auto Lighting Optimizer is yet another image-quality tool that comes to the rescue in tricky lighting conditions. It can actually lighten dark areas of a scene while ensuring that bright areas maintain tonal detail. With it’s Picture Style technology, photographers can change the look of their digital photographs. It also features a high-speed, wide area 7-point AF system. It can focus using One-Shot AF mode, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and Manual. The center, cross-type focus point operates flawlessly in lower-light and lower-contrast settings. In Live View Function, it can focus manually, with 5x or 10x magnification for focusing clarity. It has a bright 2.5-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 170 degrees. It operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, it is one of the fastest cameras available today.

The significant operational advantage the Canon Rebel XS can offer over competitors is the “My Menu” feature, which unlike other features; it inherits form higher-end models. This feature can let you build a go-to-list of the commonly used and accessed menu settings. Overall, the Canon Rebel XS outperforms all but the D60 for shooting speed. It goes from poser to photo in less that 0.2 second. Its JPEG-shooting lag matches the rest having 0.8 second duration in conditions where there is low light, but quite good for any class of DSLR camera. But the most obvious advantage of the XS over competitions is its photo quality which is quite good especially at high ISO sensitivities.
