The 10.1 megapixel camera can shoot up to three frames per second, storing images to SD or SDHC flash cards and features Canon's self cleaning sensor technology.
It also includes many other components used in higher-end Canon models, including its DIGIC III image processor, despite weighing in at only 450g.
However, there are features which fail to even match up to the 400D. While the previous model had nine autofocus points, the 1000D has just seven. The 2.5in screen is also smaller than many of its competitors.
The prosumer model is designed to sit just below Canon's 450D in the product line-up, and will cost £499.99 for the body alone, with a kit including an 18-55mm image-stabilised lens available for £579.99.
As well as the EOS 1000D Canon also announced a new version of its Speedlite 430 EX flashgun today, which is ready to shoot up to 20 times faster than its predecessor, the company claims.
