The first notable upgrade of this DSLR is the image built-in image stabilization in its detachable Canon EF-s 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. This allows enthusiasts, even the "spot-and-click" users to easily capture amazing pictures in full details without the blur and fuzz.
There is also the live view feature which allows 100% coverage, magnified manual focus assistance, a contrast-based AF option, an alignment grid and a live histogram.

Though this may be the case, a lot of 1000D buyers are not bothered with the lack of this feature.
