EOS Rebel XS


I use a Canon EOS Rebel XS, but want/need more info on it's stats. The only thing I can find that's even close is the EOS Rebel X. What is the "S" for on my camera, what does it mean, and if I buy a book that deals with the Rebel X, will the stats be identical to my XS?

  The Rebel X was a "de-contented" version of the Rebel XS. The basic differences are that the XS has a built-in flash and can be can be used in metered manual mode. I think the XS also had a data-back that could print the date and time on the film.

A manual for the Rebel X will not include information on the built-in flash or the data-back, but should otherwise be compatible with the XS.

  Kelly,

I have the same camera as you. What stats are you looking for? Maybe I can help you. Do you have or do you need the manual for the camera? The manual is used with both Rebel XS and the Rebel X. However, instructions marked with an "s" are applicable only to the Rebel xs model (with built-in flash).

Hope this helps,

Lori
