Canon's Digital Rebel cameras started a revolution in digital SLR photography — delivering an unequalled combination of performance and affordability. Their latest version, the Digital Rebel XTi, offers even more picture-taking power and advanced shooting options than ever. Its refinements include a newly designed image sensor, a larger 2-1/2" LCD monitor, a built-in dust removal system, and more. For serious photographers looking to go digital, this camera is one of the best values available anywhere.

Advanced 10.1-megapixel image sensor
At the heart of this Rebel is Canon's powerful 10.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor. Canon engineered it to produce less noise, resulting in sharper images over a wide range of ISO (light sensitivity) settings. You'll enjoy clean-looking shots even in low-light shooting conditions. And it delivers enough picture detail to crop out sections of your photos and reproduce them as large, poster-sized prints.

Natural colour and fast camera response
Then there's Canon's advanced image processing, which delivers natural-looking colour and accurate white balance levels. It also provides fast image capture, allowing you to continuously snap photos at three photos per second for up to 27 shots in one burst. Save your images to optional CompactFlash® memory cards (no memory included). This responsive cam goes from "off" to "ready to shoot" in less than two tenths of a second, and shutter lag is minimal — only 65 milliseconds. It's the ideal camera for catching action shots on the go or keeping up with fast-moving toddlers.

Fine-tune the look of your images
The Rebel XTi's Picture Style presets give you sophisticated in-camera control of image quality for taking print-ready JPEG photos without the need for post-processing. Film photographers will love the ability to simulate the look of different film types. For example, choose the Portrait preset for softer, more pleasing skin tones, use Neutral for natural colours and subdued images, or Landscape for crisp, extra-sharp images with vivid greens and blues. There are six presets in all, plus three user-defined settings. Each preset can be custom tailored to your preference by adjusting sharpness, contrast, colour saturation and colour tone, then stored in memory for instant recall when you need it.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon knows that even the most careful digital SLR photographer can sometimes allow dust particles to enter and accumulate on the camera's image sensor when changing lenses. These particles cause unwanted spots to appear on the recorded image. The Rebel XTi solves that problem with an advanced dust reduction system. By using high-frequency vibrations to shake dust free of the image sensor, plus anti-static technology to help keep it off, this camera lets you capture clean and spotless images. Canon even includes a unique "dust mapping" mode that lets you identify any remaining dust particles on the sensor when you shoot, and digitally remove them later using the supplied computer software. Very cool.
