Features:
10.1-Megapixel APS-C Size CMOS Sensor
Canons 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 Canons 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 Canons 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.
Responsive and
Reliable
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD
monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. Also used in Canons 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 XTis external display turns off automatically thanks to the newly
developed Display Off Sensor. This new sensor detects the photographers face
against the back panel of the camera, and turns the screen off to prevent the
LCD monitors brightness from disturbing the photographers 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 its brought to the eye. And the
Digital Rebel XTis 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.
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,
Canons 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 XTis focusing system functions in metering ranges of
EV-0.5 to 18 and displays information on the Digital Rebel XTis 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 XTis Print/Share button. By
connecting the Digital Rebel XTi to a computer via the USB 2.0 port, its 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 Canons EF-S series lenses, manufactured
specifically for Canons 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 Canons 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.
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 Canons ZoomBrowser EX for Windows (Version 5.7),
ImageBrower for Macintosh OS X (Version 5.7), Digital Photo Professional
(Version 2.2), Canons 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 its 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 XTis 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 theyre 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
Canons ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software once
images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, its 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 Canons 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 XTis 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 XTis
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 Canons DPP 2.2. This added software option ensures the
cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.

Untitled Document
When purchasing a digital camera, you must decide on the type of camera that is suitable for how you are using it, the life of the battery, how much memory is required, which type of lenses are needed, and etc. This guide will assist you in buying a digital camera and the necessary accessories.
Types of Cameras:
There are many different types of cameras. Depending on how often and for what purpose you are using the camera, there is a camera out there for all users.
Starter Cameras:
For users who are looking to start digital photography, but don’t want to spend a lot of money, this is the type of camera for you. A decent point-and-shoot camera should be suitable for 4”x6” photo prints.
Amateur Cameras:
For users that are knowledgeable about digital photography or want a high-quality camera to learn with, this category is best for you. These cameras offer ease of use with very high specification features, but not a large range of controls that you can get from professional cameras. Typically, you can make up to 11”x17” photo prints with these cameras.
Professional Cameras:
These cameras are intended for professionals to use. The lower-end professional cameras have a similar resolution to some high-end amateur cameras. The main difference is that, they have more elaborate setting control, better lenses, and better flash options. Most of the time, you can use lenses from your older SLR (Single Lens Reflex) film cameras. The resolution on these cameras could exceed 21 megapixels (21 million pixels). This type of camera is intended to produce very high quality prints for newspapers, magazines, and books, or for users who like to have control over how their pictures will look.
Power Conservation Tips:
Turn off the LCD:
When you are not using it, turn the LCD off. If you are low on power and want to make some more pictures, turn the LCD off and use the viewfinder instead. Doing so will increase the battery life of the camera, as LCD screens will eat up a lot of power.
Stop the Zoom:
Some cameras automatically release the lens when you turn the camera on. Unfortunately, it drains power significantly. To prevent this from happening you can change the settings to the sleep mode.
Turn off the Flash:
If you think the lighting is adequate for pictures, turn off the flash. Flashes will consume a large amount of energy, which is wasted if not in use.
Plug it in:
Some cameras have power adapter which allows you to plug in your camera to a wall socket. This will allow you to save your battery power when you are using the camera near a power socket.
Accessories to boost your Digital Experience:
Batteries:
Batteries are an important resource to digital cameras because if there is no power left, you can miss a special moment. If your camera uses disposable alkaline batteries, you should get a set of rechargeable batteries, thus saving you a lot of money in the long run, compared to purchasing new disposable batteries each time. For cameras that use Lithium Ion, it is suggested to purchase a backup battery for instances when you will be away from home for a period longer than 2 hours.
Memory Cards:
Memory card are equivalent to film in digital cameras. Each type of camera will use a different type of card, so make sure to check which card is compatible with your camera. Secure Digital (SD) is currently the most popular because it has become relatively cheap. Capacities of up to 16GB are currently available. Remember, you can never have too much memory, so invest in a larger capacity memory card when you purchase your digital camera. Here is a chart to help you make a decision on the memory card size right for yourself.
Tripods/Monopods:
If you have problems taking sharp, clear images, it could be because your hands were shaking. In order to solve the problem, you can get a tripod or monopod. It is important to keep the cameras steady if you want perfect pictures. A tripod is also important when you want to tweak the settings and take long exposure shots.
Card Readers:
Card readers are essential for any serious digital photographer. Instead of transferring photos directly from the camera, you can use a card reader to transfer them from your memory card straight to your computer. Doing so will conserve the camera’s batteries when transferring pictures.
Cases and Bags:
While digital cameras may be pricey, they can still break if dropped, so be sure to you protect your investment with either a case or bag. Cases make it safer and easier to carry. Cases can also protect your camera from sand, dust, dirt, and water. They are available in all types of sizes and styles. You can even purchase an Underwater Housing Case, allowing you to use your digital camera in water. These cases are more expensive and are only designed for some models. The cases usually come with cameras straps to put the camera around your neck or wrist. This provides an extra layer of protection for your camera, by preventing it from falling to the ground.
Lenses and Flash:
The quality of your photos depends on the quality of your lens. Flashes can help improve the brightness of your pictures. On most cameras, the lenses are built onto the camera, so you don’t have any upgradeability of the lens. But, if you own an SLR camera, you can replace the lens with a higher quality one, with better zoom or a different focal length. Flashes assist you when you are taking photos in low light settings. Most digital cameras have an internal flash that works fine for normal use, but you might want more light for the best possible results.
Important Camera Features:
Resolution:
A photograph is measured in the number of pixels in the picture. A pixel is a tiny dot of color. In digital photography, quality of the photo is megapixels. One-megapixel is the same as one million pixels. Nowadays, most cameras have more than 6 Megapixels, which is more than sufficient for a beginner’s camera.
Zoom:
Zoom is an important factor because it helps you get closer to the subject. There are two types of zoom available in digital cameras, digital and optical zoom. Digital zoom is a way of magnifying the picture by processing techniques. Unfortunately, digital zoom lowers the quality of the image a little. Optical zoom is where the magnification is done by using the camera’s lens. It would be ideal to use the Optical zoom over digital zoom because of the quality difference.
