Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Review
|
 Canon
has a way for you to get into the dSLR market for under $1000
with a great lens and a fantastic camera that takes the place of its
customer-favorite Rebel. They’ve given you the EOS Rebel XT,
that comes with a 8-megapixel, hi-res CMOS image sensor and is equipped
with Canon’s groundbreaking DIGIC II image processor.
Incredibly that you get all of this on an entry-level camera.
Canon has a need for speed and it’s given the EOS Rebel XT 3
fps shooting speed and 13 frames burst shooting capability in JPEG or
5fps for simultaneous RAW+JPEG shooting.
The DIGIC II chip set enables to Rebel XT to writing date to its CF
card 3.5x faster than the Digital Rebel. Speed is a marvelous thing,
isn’t it?!
The Rebel XT has 12 exposure modes that you can select simply by
turning the Mode dial, and they pretty much cover all the possible
shooting conditions that you’ll find yourself in; Full Auto,
Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, Flash Off,
Program AE, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority AE, Manual and Auto
Depth-of-Field AE.
The 8-megapixel sensor has an ISO range of 100 to 1600, and the DIGIC
II has improved the image quality under tricky lighting conditions, so
you can shoot at ISO 400, not worry about camera shake or noise in your
image.
Canon wanted to make some marked changes over the Rebel, and some of
those exciting new features are monochrome mode (which black-n-white
aficionados will love) and User-Selectable metering modes and AF modes,
and flash exposure compensation controls.
And what’s really great is that Canon didn’t
eliminate or alter any of the automatic functions from the original
Rebel that made it number one among beginning photographers.
Speaking of features from the original Rebel, the Rebel XT has the same
7-point AutoFocus system, which can analyze where a subject is in your
frame, and brings it into focus in a snap (again a feature
that’s been enhanced by that DIGIC II chip).
The AutoFocus can also analyze a moving subject and automatically
choose between locking or tracking AF modes depending on what you have
going on. The included kit lens, Canon’s EF-S 18-55mm,
f/3.5-5.6 capture extremely sharp images and this is allows for the
JPEG resolution modes (large, 8 megapixels; medium 4.1 megapixels and
small, 2 megapixels) to have sharper images with higher, cleaner
contrast.
You’ll be able to view your images on the bright, 118,000
pixel 1.8-inch TFT LCD screen, in which you can zoom your playback of
the images up to 10x.
When you get down to it, for the price and the features the EOS Rebel
XT is not just a bargain, it’s a fantastic value for an
entry-level camera. You almost can’t call it an entry-level
camera, because it has so many features included.
Canon did a more than fine job replacing its mainstay bestseller. And
the bundled software that comes with the Rebel XT makes it so easy to
important and manipulate the pictures on your PC, you’ll be
wowing your friends in no time at all.
