Here we prepared a quick comparison table for the recently announced Canon 1000D / Xs and 450D / Xsi (Canon 400D is also included) to give you an idea about what you get over 400D / Xti and what you miss from 450D / Xsi.
Update!! - November 2008
The price of Canon 1000D / Xs (with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens) has gone down to $483.49, one of the best deal you can find in entry-level DSLR market. You simply can't go wrong with this camera.
450D / Xsi as of today goes for $659.00 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, now the difference is now almost $200, I would definitely go for the Canon 1000D / Xs in this case.
From our first impressions, 1000D seems to be crippled version of 450D / Xsi, which is aiming to compete directly against cameras like Nikon D60, Sony A200 and Olympus E420. Despite the very competitive price, 1000D / Xs still has the Live View advantage over Nikon and Sony. It is not hard to predict that Canon will probably gain back the #1 position in the entry level DSLR market once again with the new 1000D / Xs.
