Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon 1000D compared to super zoom competitors include: it is significantly smaller (prosumer size 126x98x65 mm vs large 130x90x126 mm), has a much larger sensor (APS-C 22.2x14.8mm vs 1/2.3" 6.2x4.6mm), is thinner (2.6" vs 5"), is slightly lighter (502 g vs 666 g) and shoots RAW.
However, on average it doesn't record movies (none vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a significantly smaller screen (2.5" vs 3.0"), doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens), significantly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 6,400 ISO) and doesn't shoot as fast continuously (3 fps vs 8 fps).
