Canon EOS 1000D is a 10.1-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera. The 1000D is an entery- level DSLR that has been described as being a step below 450D. As I remarked in that review, Canpn hass been losing ground in the DSLR market recently. Canon already has a 10.1 MP in its line. At 450g the new camera is 25g lighter than the 450D and 80g lighter than the 400D. The 1000D feels like a stop-gap measure
