Canon Rebel XS - A Perennial Favorite
The Canon XS is still strong in the Digital SLR market.
In fact that is a total understatement. The Canon Rebel XS [http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-10-DSLR-Cameras-By-Popularity] is actually the number one selling Digital SLR at Amazon! This camera was first introduced in 2003 and it is still dominating the market.
What is it that keeps this entry level DSLR at the top of the heap?
The reasons are speculation because you would have to do an in depth research evaluation to get the real answer, and we are not in a position to perform such intense data research.
However, there are a bunch of comments at the online stores where we can read users' opinions to find out what they thought about the product, and many will tell why they are happy with it.
So, with that in mind, here are some of the speculative answers to this question.
Great image quality - Canon has long been a leader in producing excellent quality in their Rebel line of digital SLR cameras.
Digital SLR control at a great price - The price of this camera has historically been among the lowest prices, and as new models are released, the price goes down.
Plenty of megapixels for the ability to print large photos.
Let's face it, not everyone who buys a new high end camera is looking for every possible bell, whistle, and other piece of bling. There are those who are totally satisfied to get just what they need to take great pictures. The Canon Rebel XS does just that.
Another plus for this model is that it is very basic and it allows a new digital SLR user to learn the ins and outs of camera control with the ability to fall back on total auto (plus they get to do it for the minimum price). The camera in "program mode" gives awesome photos.
So the Canon Rebel XS is a top seller, but it is also in the "Top 10 Digital SLR Cameras" list - a list of cameras chosen for their ranking by users, not necessarily because they are best sellers.
It is in there with the likes of many of the big hitters like the Nikon D700 and Pentax K-7. Pretty amazing in more ways than one.
