Background
It's known as the EOS Rebel XS in the North American market, the EOS Kiss in the Japanese Domestic market, and the EOS 500 in other markets outside Japan & North America).
The Canon EOS Rebel XS 35mm is an entry-level camera that utilizes the more general Canon EOS system. It’s the third generation of Rebel cameras. The Rebel XS, along with the Rebel X, are the lightest, smallest, and most quiet of the Rebel cameras. (Its lightweight is partly due to its hollow porroprism, which contrasts with the standard solid pentaprism.) The Rebel XS is highly similar to the Rebel X, except it has a built-in pop-up flash.
