EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR 8-MP Camera w/Canon 18-55mm AF Lens, Silver
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel camera now has a new, faster, even smaller, brother. Sibling rivalries aside, the 8.0 megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR adds resolution, speed, an extra dollop of creative control and enhanced comfort in the hand, to one of the smallest and lightest digital cameras in its class. Despite its advancements in ergonomic design and technology, this easy to use EOS digital camera is compatible with all of Canon's EF lenses including the EF-S lenses. The new EOS Digital Rebel XT camera has increased resolution, speed, responsiveness and energy efficiency while the size and weight have decreased, making it more comfortable to hold and use. Indeed, it is nearly three ounces lighter and more than a half-inch smaller than the original EOS Digital Rebel model.

Rebel Without A Choice No More - The EOS Digital Rebel XT camera will take its place alongside the original 6.3 megapixel EOS Digital Rebel camera that placed a high resolution digital SLR into the hands of SLR Photographers. The EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR Body is offered with Canon's high-quality EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens. While many of the feature advancements and innovations on the new EOS Digital Rebel XT digital camera are inherited from Canon's recently introduced upper level model EOS 20D SLR , the two cameras' most striking technological similarities are their use of Canon's newly-developed, large single plate, high sensitivity, high resolution color CMOS imaging sensor technology. While the size of the APS-C CMOS sensor on the EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR is fractionally smaller than the APS-C CMOS sensor on the EOS 20D camera (22.2 x 14.8 mm versus 22.5 x15.0 mm respectively) accounting in part for the cameras 8.0 vs. 8.2 megapixel resolution rating, individual pixel dimensions are identical, and they both provide the same effective angle of view, equivalent to 1.6 x the normal EF lens focal length. Finer Photos Faster - The new EOS Digital Rebel XT digital camera can shoot up to 14 consecutive Large/Fine (8.0 megapixel) JPEGs, five RAW files, or four RAW + Large/Fine JPEGs at a rate of up to three frames-per-second. The EOS Digital Rebel camera's smaller buffer permits bursts of only four Large/Fine (6.3 megapixel) JPEG or RAW frames at a rate of up to 2.5 frames per second. While reprising the Digital Rebel SLR's ISO range of 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600, Canon raised the Auto ISO setting on the Digital Rebel XT model to 400 in order to help improve image quality, reduce camera shake and brighten the scene behind the subject when taking a flash photo. The new Digital Rebel XT camera also offers 12 exposu
