Canon EOS Rebel / Rebel S / EOS 1000 / EOS 1000F
You could think of the Canon EOS Rebel as the camera that launched a 1000 names... sort of literally.
Originally known as the Canon EOS Rebel in North America, this camera was known as the EOS 1000 in Europe. Together they kicked off a long running (still going, in fact) line of both film and digital SLR cameras that would bear the Rebel moniker.
But even if you ignore all the Rebels to come, this particular Rebel also had a dizzying array of alter egos. One interesting element to note, is that this Rebel was one of very few such cameras to not have a built-in flash. So naturally Canon released the Rebel S. "S" probably stood for "strobe" but perhaps it meant "special". The Rebel S had the pop-up flash that the original Rebel did not. Naturally this meant a new EOS 1000 as well, which was duly dubbed the EOS 1000F. Word is there are also Rebel QD and EOS 1000 QD models as well, with QD signifying the presence of a quartz date back.
It is a pretty confusing array of names for what is such a simple, straight-forward camera. But perhaps we are burying the lead a little in highlighting all this. The EOS Rebel is a pretty great camera these days. While it seems like the value of many film cameras just keeps climbing and climbing, you can still get a Canon EOS Rebel for super budget-friendly prices. They have a solid array of features, are light and compact, and if you pair them up with a great lens and some creativity there really is nothing to keep you from making some awesome images with them.
