Canon Digital Rebel Xt

While some people think that the Canon Digital Rebel XT is just an upgrade of the original Rebel camera, this is an incorrect notion. While several of the features are similar, the XT design was completely redone, drawing from the most successful parts of the Canon Rebel. Here are just a few of the most innovative features found on the Canon Rebel XT.

High Performance
There are several factors that contribute to the high performance of the Canon Rebel XT. The 8.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor offers the most pixels in its class. This means that images will have exceptional clarity and a wide range of tonal colorations. Another fabulous feature when it comes to the technology of the camera is the Digic II Image Processor. This processor is in essence the brain of the camera, and it worries about the details, which allows you to focus on taking beautiful photographs. A bonus to using this processor is that it consumes very little energy, helping your batteries to last a little bit longer.

Size
At the time of its release, the Canon Rebel XT was the smallest and lightest camera in its class. The camera is only 4.98" across and weighs less than two pounds! This is handy if you are going to be shooting on location as you won't have to lug a heavy camera along with all of your other equipment.

Quickness
We've all experienced the frustration of coming across a perfect subject to photograph, but by the time our camera has loaded the shot is passed. Well, with the Canon Rebel XT, this is no longer an issue. With a start up time of less than 0.2 seconds, missing a shot never happens. This camera also shoots up to 3 frames per second which is wonderful if you are taking action shots.

Seven Point AF System
With a 7 point AF system, the Canon Rebel XT will automatically find seven points of focus for your shot. Either let the camera focus or do it yourself, either way you will enjoy a great photo. One of the most exciting things about this system is that it has a predictive focus, meaning that even if your subject moves, the sharpness of the picture isn't lost.

Customized Functions
This Canon model is full of specialized functions that you can customize to fit your needs. Things like a choice when it comes to metering patters offers huge amounts of creative options. Flash compensation is another function that can be changed to fit your needs. There are eight different metering modes allowing you to take fabulous photos in any light.
