Canon has used different names for the same DSLR bodies in different markets. For example, entry-level EOS models may be labeled with a numeric name in Europe, a Rebel name in North America, and a Kiss name in Japan. What are the common equivalents for these Canon DSLR models?

I put together a translation table in this answer:

EOS 1100D = EOS Rebel T3  = EOS Kiss X50
EOS 1000D = EOS Rebel XS  = EOS Kiss F
EOS 650D  = EOS Rebel T4i = EOS Kiss X6
EOS 600D  = EOS Rebel T3i = EOS Kiss X5
EOS 550D  = EOS Rebel T2i = EOS Kiss X4
EOS 500D  = EOS Rebel T1i = EOS Kiss X3
EOS 450D  = EOS Rebel XSi = EOS Kiss X2
EOS 400D  = EOS Rebel XTi = EOS Kiss X
EOS 350D  = EOS Rebel XT  = EOS Kiss N
EOS 300D  = EOS Rebel     = EOS Kiss

Canon’s entry-level EOS DSLRs often have three names depending on region:

EOS 1100D = Rebel T3 = Kiss X50
EOS 1000D = Rebel XS = Kiss F
EOS 650D = Rebel T4i = Kiss X6
EOS 600D = Rebel T3i = Kiss X5
EOS 550D = Rebel T2i = Kiss X4
EOS 500D = Rebel T1i = Kiss X3
EOS 450D = Rebel XSi = Kiss X2
EOS 400D = Rebel XTi = Kiss X
EOS 350D = Rebel XT = Kiss N
EOS 300D = Rebel = Kiss

In general, Canon’s higher-end bodies such as the 50D typically keep the same numeric name across many markets, while the consumer models are the ones most often renamed. If you’re comparing discussions, reviews, or accessories, checking the regional name equivalent can help confirm that people are talking about the same camera body.
