i'm confused, i have been shooting with DSLR's for 11 years now (always with Canon gear), and i have never seen a "1000D"..........do you have a link to it?
here is a link to a great site and the list of all Canon digital cameras made in the last 12 years, no mention of a "1000D"

currently i use a 50D and a 5DmkII................but you really should be looking at the 7D.........has everything you need including close to pro AF and has video.

don't waste your time and money on P&S cameras..............unless you don't care about advancing yourself in Photography.
