The Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel.

The 300D was the first digital SLR camera to be sold for under $1,000. This was a major breakthrough in the digital SLR camera marketplace.

It's no suprise that this camera sold much more than the competition due to its lower price.

In 2005, the 300D was replaced with the 350D (also called the Rebel XT).

The Rebel XT improved the features of the 300D, and only bumped up the price by a couple hundred dollars.

If you want the latest Digital Rebel, get the 350D.
