The way CANON names its DSLRs...

[KmH]

Canon Rebel Series in order they came out:

Digital Rebel 300D
Digital Rebel XT 350D
Digital Rebel XTi 400D
Digital Rebel XS 1000D
Digital Rebel XSi 450D
Digital Rebel T1i 500D

Please correct if the above list is not right...
Thanks

The order of the list seems right, but the names of the cameras aren't:

As an example the last one:

In the USA - Canon Digital Rebel Electro Optical System T1i.

The same camera in Europe - Canon Digital Rebel Electro Optical System 500D.

The same camera in Japan - Canon Digital Rebel Electro Optical System Kiss X3.

I know I just did not want to get into regional names so deep. Numbers do it better for me and I attached the common names for the US since most of the people here are familiar with those names.
Is the above list also correct for the quality/functionality?
Meaning is XSi better than XS and XS is better than XTi?

I believe the XS was released about 6 months after the XSi.

Does anybody remember the old Canon EOS introductory ads??

"EOS--the Dawn of a new Era", hinting at the mythological goddess Eos.

Eos: Definition from Answers.com

"(European mythology)

The winged Greek dawn goddess. According to Hesiod, she was the daughter of the Titan Hyperion and Thea. Like her Hindu counterpart Aruna, meaning ‘rosy’, she was imagined as a charioteer riding across the sky just before sunrise. Eos' two horses were called Shiner and Bright; the sun god Helios, on the other hand, had a four-horse chariot to indicate his greater status.

The reputation of Eos as an amorous goddess is not readily explained, though one myth does recount her power over the war god Ares, a triumph for which Aphrodite never forgave her. Most of her lovers were kidnapped young men like Tithonus, whom Eos kept until he became helpless with old age. Even then she was reluctant to part with him, in spite of his ceaseless chatter. Either she shut him up in a bedchamber or he became the cicada, which still chirps continuously."
