Easy-to-navigate menus. For starters, the Rebel XT delivers 3,456
x 2,304-pixel images for images of 13x19 inches and larger. The
camera features variable ISO -- 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1,600
settings -- and supports all Canon EOS series lenses. An optical
viewfinder provides detailed information such as diopter
adjustment and depth-of-field preview, while the 1.8-inch TFT LCD
view finder offers a wealth of additional information as well as
several playback features, including thumbnail view and zooming
to 10x magnification. Backlit with five level settings for
brightness, the viewfinder is easy to read in dark environments.
While the Rebel XT is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF
lineup -- ranging from ultra-wide-angle to super-telephoto lenses
--, the camera includes the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
This 18-55mm is a standard zoom designed exclusively for the
Digital Rebel and features optimized coating to minimize ghost
images and flare.
If action photography is your specialty, the Rebel XT offers a
continuous shooting mode that captures as many as 14 images as
fast as three frames per second (with shutter speeds of 1/250
second or faster.) The camera offers a shutter speed range from
1/4,000 to 30 seconds, and a bulb x-sync at 1/200 seconds. Best
of all, it features an ultra-fast 0.2 seconds startup time, a
shutter release lag of 100 milliseconds, and viewfinder blackout
time of 175 milliseconds -- all of which means that you'll always
be on top of the action.
Despite its wealth of advanced features, the Rebel XT is also
one of the easiest, and most user-friendly digital SLRs you'll
find anywhere. Its compact design -- 4.98 x 3.71 x 2.63 inches (W
x H x D) -- and weight (less than two pounds) means that the
camera body will fit snugly in your hands. The EOS Digital Rebel
XT has a newly developed high-precision seven-point autofocus
(AF) system for speedy and accurate focusing in any situation.
You can easily choose your own point of focus or direct the
camera to choose it automatically. You can even use predictive AF
to ensure that moving subjects stay focused while you compose
your . With a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism and a
new precision matte screen, achieving sharp focus is fast and
easy with the Rebel XT, no matter where or when you're taking
pictures.
A number of additional automatic setting and shooting modes --
including Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait,
and Flash Off -- allows you to concentrate on your subject and
leave the camera to sort out the details. A redeye reduction via
a built-in illuminator keeps your face s on track, and USB
2.0 connectivity for both PC and Macintosh lets you upload your
images with ease and without the need for additional software.
The camera also supports direct printing with PictBridge
compatible printers. In short, the Rebel XT is the ideal digital
SLR choice for both the serious photographer who demands the
ultimate in high-quality features, as well as the weekend picture
taker who demands the ultimate in affordability and convenience.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel camera now has a new, faster, and
even smaller big brother. Sibling rivalries aside, the
8.0-megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR adds resolution,
speed, extra 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.
Rebel Without a Choice No More
The EOS Digital Rebel XT camera takes its place alongside the
original 6.3 MP EOS Digital Rebel camera that first placed an
affordable, high-resolution digital SLR into the hands of Canon
consumers. The EOS Digital Rebel XT model is offered in two kit
configurations: With Canon's high-quality EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-f5.6
zoom lens (in matte black (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007QKN22/102-0909359-8874516 ) and in brushed
silver ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007QKMQY/102-0909359-8874516 )) and
as a body only (in matte black (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007QKMSC/102-0909359-8874516 ) and in brushed
silver ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007QKMR8/102-0909359-8874516 )).
The Rebel XT's image sensor has the same 3:2 ratio as film
cameras, creating an effective angle of view that is 1.6 times
the normal EF lens' focal length. While many of the feature
advancements and innovations on the new EOS Digital Rebel XT
digital camera are inherited from Canon's EOS 20D (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002XQJFA/102-0909359-8874516 ) "prosumer"
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 millimeters versus 22.5
x 15.0 millimeters, 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 1.6x the normal EF lens
focal length.
There are, of course, some very real differences between the EOS
Digital Rebel XT digital camera and the more advanced EOS 20D.
While the 20D SLR includes performance features such as faster
continuous shooting speed (5 frames per second [fps] vs. 3 fps)
with larger burst capability (23 frames vs. 14 frames) and custom
function settings (18 vs. 9) that more than justify its heftier
price tag, this new Rebel XT model was created for those
dedicated SLR users who are migrating to digital for the first
time and don't wish to give up the flexibility an SLR system
offers.
Choose a single point of focus or predictive autofocus, or direct
the camera to make the determination using its 7-point AF system.
Autofocus Made Easy
Utilizing the same 7-point autofocus system as the EOS Digital
Rebel camera, the new EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR is capable of
analyzing where a subject is--even when it is off center--and
almost immediately bringing it into focus. It can also analyze
subject movement and automatically select locking or tracking AF
modes as needed. These features simplify the camera's operation
and optimize its performance. The Digital Rebel XT allows users
to select locking or tacking AF modes independently, adding a new
dimension of creative control.
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 3 fps. 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 fps.
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 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 exposure modes that are user selectable at the turn of
a conveniently placed dial. The exposure modes--Full Auto,
Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, Flash Off,
Program AE, Shutter Speed-Priority AE, Aperture-Priority AE,
Manual and Auto Depth-of-Field AE--take into account virtually
all shooting conditions and preferences.
In addition to its lossless compression 8.0-megapixel RAW image
file option, the Rebel XT Digital SLR offers users the option of
shooting in a range of sizes and quality JPEG settings from large
(8.o-megapixel) and medium (4.15-megapixel) to small
(2.0-megapixel). Within each resolution option, the user may also
select quality settings: Large/fine, large/normal, medium/fine,
medium/normal, small/fine, and small/normal.
RAW Power
What's more, where the original Digital Rebel camera required
dedicated software to extract embedded medium/fine resolution
JPEGs from the larger, uncompressed RAW image file, the new Rebel
XT model saves RAW and large/fine resolution images as separate
files on the Compact Flash card. The user also has the option of
selecting RAW (8.0-megapixel) files only, saving valuable space
on the CF card. As with the EOS 20D, the Digital Rebel XT
camera's RAW files are denoted by the CR2 extension.
Creative Control
Among the new features found on the EOS Digital Rebel XT camera
are user-selectable metering and AF modes, flash exposure
compensation control, improved E-TTL II evaluative flash
metering, and for the first time in this product category, custom
function control. The Digital Rebel XT SLR even offers a
monochrome mode for consumers who enjoy the subtleties and
shadings that only black-and-white images offer.
The Rebel XT camera incorporates nine of the Custom Functions
previously found on the EOS 20D model. Designed to fine-tune
camera operation according to personal preferences, the custom
functions offer users a set of programming options for the SET
button/cross keys, as well as control over long exposure noise
reduction, flash sync speed in AV mode, AF start from the shutter
button or AE lock button, AF assist beam, mirror lockup, E-TTL II
metering patterns, and shutter curtain sync.
All This and DIGIC II
Canon's newest and most powerful SLR imaging engine, DIGIC II,
provides high precision and high speed, natural color
reproduction including high saturation, bright subjects, improved
auto white balance, and increased white balance correction
control and white balance bracketing over the original Digital
Rebel camera.
The white balance correction control is a digital color filter
that works like a light-balancing filter or a color-compensating
filter. Both the blue/amber bias and the magenta/green bias can
be adjusted to +/- 9 levels. While the blue/amber bias adjustment
is standard on the original Digital Rebel model, the Rebel XT
camera's additional magenta/green bias adjustment provides
increased color compensation from the earlier model.
The XT's DIGIC II image processor ensures natural colors,
accurate white balance, and speedy write times. The Rebel XT
SLR's white balance bracketing mode enables the camera to
automatically take three images for every snapped, each with
a different bias setting. The user can then select the best
and did the other two. White balance bracketing can also be
used in combination with white balance correction. The benefit of
all this white balance wizardry can be found in the photographs
with colors captured accurately and precisely under a wide range
of conditions.
In addition to the legion of image-quality improvements, DIGIC
II speeds up the camera's performance from start-up that is 10
times faster on the EOS Digital Rebel XT model (0.2 seconds) than
it is on the EOS Digital Rebel with the original iteration of
DIGIC (2 seconds).
Another feature improved by the presence of DIGIC II is the
speed of the direct printing function, which is PictBridge
compatible. DIGIC II also produces faster startup times, faster
CompactFlash card writing speed, and approximately 10x faster
data transfer speeds thanks to the processor's new USB 2.0
high-speed interface. As an added bonus, the DIGIC II chip is so
efficient, it actually reduces the EOS Digital Rebel XT camera's
power consumption (and extends battery life) by approximately 35
percent. Indeed, this new Rebel XT camera is so energy efficient,
it is powered by the same lighter-weight NB-2LH battery pack (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002YE686/102-0909359-8874516 ) used by the
Power S60 (as sed to the larger BP-511A battery pack used
by the original Digital Rebel model).
Select 35-zone AF point evaluative metering, partial metering at
the center of the image, or center-weighted averaged metering.
E-TTL II: Exposure Control in a Flash
The new Rebel XT camera also features the next step in the
evolution of evaluative, through-the-lens exposure control, E-TTL
II. Though compatible with all Canon EX-series Speedlites, this
smarter new E-TTL II system helps ensure that, even in situations
with highly reflective subjects or backgrounds or when shooting
in most other similarly difficult lighting situations, the image
will be optimally exposed.
The E-TTL II system compares the ambient light with the
reflected pre-flash off the subject reported in all 35 metering
zones and selects the areas with a small difference to be
weighted for flash exposure calculation. This system also helps
eliminate or underweights areas with large differences,
recognizing them as an extremely reflective object in the
background or a highly reflective subject.
Bundled Software
Both the Rebel XT Camera and lens kit and the body-only kit are
shipped with three software discs including EOS Digital Solutions
Disc 10 featuring ZoomBrowser EX, ImageBrowser, and ArcSoft
PhotoStudio together with other utilities, another disc
containing Digital Photo Professional 1.6 for RAW file
conversions, and a third disc containing PDF versions of the
instruction manuals for each application.
