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.
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 -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.
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 s. 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.
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-
is perfect for still photography. AI Servo AF tracks moving
subjects, ensuring accurate focus. AI Focus AF switches between
One- 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.
Setting Description Saturation Sharpness Standard (default
setting) (default setting) Vivid, sharp expression; usable in a
wide variety of conditions; optimal for direct printing without
post-processing high slightly high Portrait Soft texture and
beautiful expression of skin color slightly high slightly low
Landscape Sharp expression with particularly vivid results for
blue skies and green hues high green-blue high Neutral Low
saturation and contrast for easy adjusting during post-processing
low none Faithful Accurate reproduction of the subject's colors
based on colorimetric data low none Monochrome Monochrome
expression similar to silver halide film in black and white; for
color filter work none (monochrome) slightly high
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 accled
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 accled E-TTL II flash
metering system. Whether using its flush-ed 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.
Software
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi comes bundled with the updated Canon
EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 13.0), which features powerful
software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the
computer. These include Canon's ZoomBrowser EX for Windows
(Version 5.7), ImageBrower for Macintosh OS X (Version 5.7),
Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.2), Canon's EOS Utility
(Version 1.1) and PhotoStitch (Version 3.1). Each application is
designed to perfect captured images and streamline the digital
workflow.
Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.2) is an image processing
program that enables high-speed RAW image processing, high-speed
previewing for real-time image adjustment, and support for sRGB,
Adobe RGB, and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces. Because it's CMS
(Color Management System) compatible, Digital Photo Professional
allows for easy image layout and printing in Adobe RGB in
conjunction with Easy-PhotoPrint and PictBridge printers. It also
features the Digital Rebel XTi's Dust Delete Data Detection tool
for cleaner images.
EOS Utility (Version 1.1) for Macintosh or Windows handles the
connection between the camera and computer, whenever they're
connected via USB. It allows remote-controlled shooting from the
computer, handles downloading of images from the camera to the
computer, and allows seamless linking to either Canon's
ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software
once images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, it's
used to upload settings back into a USB-connected camera.
ZoomBrowser EX (Version 5.7) for Windows and ImageBrowser
(Version 5.7) for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options
for viewing and editing of JPEG and even RAW image files. Both
allow viewing of numerous types of images including finished TIFF
and BMP files. Both also have a variety of search options for
finding images, allow re-naming of single images or batches of
files, and offer a variety of options for printing without using
a separate image-editing program.
Dependable for Cleaning the Sensor
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi not only sports a newly refined body
with better ergonomics and a new grip, but it also has some of
Canon's most advanced improvements in dust reduction. No matter
how careful photographers may be to change lenses in dust free
areas and to keep their equipment as clean as possible, dust
often ends up on their cameras' sensors, creating distracting
spots on recorded images. The Digital Rebel XTi's integrated
hardware and software solutions make trouble with dust a thing of
the past. The Digital Rebel XTi is the first digital EOS SLR
camera to feature this important technology: by ensuring the
sensor is free of dust and debris, the camera guarantees a
cleaner image.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
To combat stray dust that enters the camera and adheres to the
image sensor during a lens change, the Digital Rebel XTi features
an all new Canon-designed Self Cleaning Sensor Unit. The low-pass
filter cleans itself automatically with ultrasonic vibrations,
removing dust from the sensor assembly.
Dust Delete Data Detection
Dust that has been missed by the Integrated Self Cleaning Sensor
Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo
Professional (DPP) Version 2.2. The Digital Rebel XTi's imaging
sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface,
then plots out their location coordinates within the image. This
data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW,
and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canon's DPP
2.2. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible
image, perfect for printing or archiving.

Four and a half years have passed since the first affordable
digital SLR from Canon; the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). In that
time we have witnessed two further iterations (the EOS 350D and
EOS 400D) leading up to today's fourth generation EOS 450D, with
twice the megapixel count of the original (twelve versus six) in
a smaller body with a far wider range of functionality and
features and a $200 lower list price. Since those heady days in
2004 when the EOS 300D was the only kid on the block we've seen
Nikon, Pentax and Olympus all attempt to hit the same sweet spot
of size, features and price at the 'lower end' of the DSLR
market, with varying degrees of success. Without a doubt the EOS
450D will have to do more today to prove itself in an
increasingly crowded market.
On the third page of this review you'll find a detailed
breakdown of all of the changes and updates compared to the EOS
400D but the headlines are; a larger 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View
with both passive and contrast detect AF, Spot metering, improved
auto-focus, 3.5 fps continuous shooting a larger viewfinder and a
switch SD/SDHC for storage (all previous cameras in this range
were Compact Flash). Other features appear to be inherited from
the EOS 40D; 14-bit image pipeline, Highlight Tone priority,
optional High ISO noise reduction, 'My Menu' and display of the
ISO sensitivity on the viewfinder status line. There's also the
new stabilized kit lens (for review and samples click here).
Note that throughout this review we will refer to the EOS 450D
by its European name; if you live in other parts of the world
you'll know the camera by (in order of silliness) Rebel XSi or
Kiss X2 Digital, but they're all the same.
