O’Reilly has just announced the release of their Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS/1000D Companion. It’s $24.99 and, as the title implies, covers the functionality of the Canon Rebel XS.  I recently published a review of the Rebel XSi version of this book (also by Ben Long) and was generally impressed with the content.  I can’t imagine that the Rebel XS version will be much different in terms of quality.  So, if you’re picking up the Rebel XS, this would probably be a good book to grab with it.  Details in the press release below.  It’s available for pre-order at Amazon.com for $16.49.
