Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers an unbeatable combination of performance,
ease-of-use and value. It has a newly designed 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor plus
a host of new features including a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, the exclusive EOS Integrated
Cleaning System, and Canon's Picture Style technology, all in a lightweight,
ergonomic body. The Digital Rebel XTi is proof positive that Canon continues
to lead the way with our phenomenal digital SLRs.
Canon Rebel XTi CMOS sensor
The Canon Rebel XTi's APS-C size sensor has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras.
10.1-Megapixel APS-C Size CMOS Sensor
Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures
images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in
its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film
cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF lens
focal length. With pixel resolution of 3,904 x 2,598, the Digital Rebel XTi not
only offers the most pixels in its class, but bests many professional-level cameras.
Recorded on Canon's CMOS sensor, each pixel is captured with fine detail to create
images of tremendous depth, nuance, and resolution, ensuring enough information
for even poster-sized prints.
DIGIC II Image Processor
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi is the product of Canon's extensive in-house development:
The DIGIC II Image Processor was designed specifically for Canon digital SLR
cameras and enhances every aspect of image capture. Information captured by the
CMOS sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional quality. With
the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect natural color
reproduction, precise white balance in any number of lighting situations, and
unparalleled clarity. The DIGIC II Image Processor employs sophisticated signal
processing algorithms and works at greater speeds, all while consuming less energy.
The entire processing chip--not just the software that drives it--is dedicated
for use in a digital still camera.
Canon Rebel XTi 2.5-inch LCD
The XTi's 2.5-inch LCD is larger than most DSLR screens.
Responsive and Reliable
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately
230,000 pixels. Also used in Canon's Professional EOS SLRs, this screen displays
more than images. Shooting information and playback are both displayed on the
LCD, so that the photographer can see all of the shooting information simultaneously
on one screen. Not only can images be viewed larger than on the Digital Rebel
XT, they can be viewed at a greater angle (160 degrees) than many other conventional
LCD monitors.
Display Off Sensor
When composing images, the Digital Rebel XTi's external display turns off automatically
thanks to the newly developed Display Off Sensor. This new sensor detects the
photographer's face against the back panel of the camera, and turns the screen
off to prevent the LCD monitor's brightness from disturbing the photographer's
eye while looking through the viewfinder.
Speedy Operation
With a startup time of 0.2 seconds, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is ready to go
the instant it's brought to the eye. And the Digital Rebel XTi's shutter can
record images as fast as 1/4000 seconds and as long as 30 seconds, plus bulb
at up to 3 frames per second (fps) for 27 consecutive shots. It synchronizes
with Canon Speedlites at 1/200 second.
EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 USM Standard Zoom Lens
This kit includes a standard zoom exclusively for the EOS Digital Rebel and EOS
20D SLR cameras, with APS-C size image circle equivalent to an approximately
28-90mm focal length. The lens is compact and ultra-lightweight with impressive
close-focusing ability of 0.9 feet (0.28 meters). It features optimized coating
for digital imaging sensor to minimize ghost images and flare.
Canon Rebel XTi Picture Style settings
Picture Style settings allow you to recreate characteristics of your favorite
photo films. 9-Point AF
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a high-precision 9-point AF system for speedy and
accurate focusing in any situation. Conveniently located on the back of the camera
for thumb-controlled action, Canon's cross key buttons enable instant choice
of the 9 focus points or allow the camera to choose them automatically. One-Shot
is perfect for still photography. AI Servo AF tracks moving subjects, ensuring
accurate focus. AI Focus AF switches between One-Shot and AI Servo when subjects
are moving and stopping. The Digital Rebel XTi's focusing system functions in
metering ranges of EV-0.5 to 18 and displays information on the Digital Rebel
XTi's big LCD display.
Picture Style settings
With Picture Style technology and the EOS Digital Rebel XTi, photographers can
recreate characteristics of their favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness,
and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. In addition
to six preset Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful,
and Monochrome), users can create three additional settings for their particular
photographic style.
Print/Share Button
Printing and uploading to a computer is incredibly simple with the Digital Rebel
XTi's Print/Share button. By connecting the Digital Rebel XTi to a computer via
the USB 2.0 port, it's easy to transfer some or all of the photographs in the
cameras memory to folders on the computer.
EF and EF-S Lenses
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup,
ranging from ultra-wide-angle to super-telephoto lenses, and including Canon's
EF-S series lenses, manufactured specifically for Canon's APS-C sized digital
sensor. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering
to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process.
Aspherical optics and fluorite elements, for example, are featured in the universally
acclaimed L-Series lenses, and Canon's Image Stabilizer technology in select
lenses minimizes the effect of camera shake.
Flash Photography The EOS Digital Rebel XTi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering
system. Whether using its flush-mounted integral flash (guide no. of
43 feet/13 meters at ISO 100), or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line,
E-TTL II provides reliable flash output through numerous exposures.
