Canon EOS Rebel

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel brings advanced digital performance and SLR controls to everyday photographers. Whether you're new to digital cameras, SLR cameras, or even photography itself, you'll find that the EOS Digital Rebel is powerful, yet fun and easy to use. It features a 6.3-megapixel sensor, automatic and manual controls, and compatibility with Canon's range of EF lenses.

This model comes with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 zoom lens. Compact and ultra-lightweight with impressive close-focusing ability, this lens features optimized coating for the Digital Rebel's imaging sensor to minimize ghost images and flare. It comes with lens cap and dust cap.

Optics and Resolution

A large-format, high-resolution CMOS sensor captures 6.3 million pixels to deliver up to 3027 x 2048 pixel images. Other resolution modes include 2048 x 1360 and 1536 x 1024. As it captures images, the sensor amplifies each pixel's electric charge, for ultra-fast image scanning. The large sensor also has a 3:2 aspect ratio, traditional to 35mm film, for a familiar compositional feel.

Canon's exclusive DIGIC image processor offers advanced signal processing algorithms that heighten precision and detail, smooth gradation in highlight areas, and create color reproduction that is as vivid as it is utterly natural. Additionally, the DIGIC's speedier processing improves the camera's battery performance, and adds to the camera's overall responsiveness and agility.

More Features
With the 1.8-inch LCD screen, you can zoom images from 1.5x all the way to 10x, moving up, down, left and right to see any area up close. You can even advance to the next shot in the enlarged view with no need to zoom again. The Digital Rebel also generates JPEG Small/Normal image files to make the image playback faster on the camera's LCD monitor.

Advanced controls will keep experienced photographers motivated and inspire beginners to expand their SLR skills. Creative Zone modes include A-DEP (automatic depth of field auto exposure) to set a "zone of sharpness," Manual, Aperture Priority AE to set the aperture, Shutter Priority AE to set shutter speed, and Program AE to let the camera select different shutter/aperture combinations while maintaining a constant exposure.

The camera's controls are intelligently arranged. A mode dial gives you easy access to shooting controls to make even one-handed shooting comfortable.

Other features include:

• Built-in, pop-up flash with an approximate 3-second recycle time
• Continuous shooting speed of approximately 2.5 frames per second with a maximum burst mode of 4 shots
• ISO speed range of 100 to 1600
• 7-point autofocus with the following modes: One-Shot AF, Predictive AI Servo AF, AI Focus AF (Automatically selects One-Shot AF or AI Servo AF selected according to shooting mode), Manual Focusing (MF)

Capture Any Shot the Way You See It--Brilliantly
The 7-point Wide-Area AF System makes focus quick and accurate, even when your subject is off center. 7 focusing points are laid out in a cross pattern that's visible on the clear, uncluttered Viewfinder. You can let the camera detect your subject and choose the proper focusing point; the chosen point will be illuminated for no-surprise focus. The Digital Rebel supports your own creative vision as well by letting you choose your own focusing point. Dioptric Adjustment lets you shoot comfortably with or without your glasses.

Dazzling Resolution: 6.3-Megapixel CMOS Sensor
The camera's large-format, highresolution6.3 Megapixel CMOS Sensor delivers images that will astonish you with their depth and detail. Every image is remarkably detailed throughout the full dynamic range, from highlights to shadows. The large sensor has a 3:2aspect ratio to give you the familiar compositional feel and classic image proportions of a 35mm camera.

Canon's more than 60 years of photographic experience went into the CMOS Sensor's invention and refinements, and the way it works in perfect tandem with the =Imaging Processor. Together, they virtually eliminate stray light and off colors. Even long exposure images, like city lights against a night sky, are clear and virtually noise-free.

The sensor supports an extensive range of ISO speeds. This allows you to quickly compensate for shifting light conditions, as if you had films of various speeds actually built into the camera. In short, the CMOS Sensor allows the Digital Rebel to achieve images with the quality of film, while offering all the advantages of digital technology.

RAW and JPEG
In RAW mode, every shot is captured as both a RAW and Middle/Fine JPEG file. RAW files render the most detailed printed images, while less-detailed JPEGs are smaller, making them perfect for sending and viewing on computer screens. Having both kinds of files recorded automatically means that whatever you decide to do with your final images, you're covered.

The Speed to Capture The Shots That Won't Wait
Highly responsive autofocus makes for shooting excitement. The camera automatically employs one of 3 AF systems to deliver fast, spot-on focus in any situation. One-Shot AF is the best choice for still subjects, locking in focus as you press the shutter button halfway. AI Servo AF tracks active subjects, predicting their movement. AI Focus AF switches between One-Shot AF and AI Servo AF when subjects start and stop, perfect for children, pets, and other unpredictable subjects. High-speed 2.5 frames-per-second motor-drive powers the Continuous Shooting mode, letting you capture split-second action sequences with a burst of up to 4 shots.

The Digic Imaging Processor
Canon's exclusive Digic chip gives the Digital Rebel spectacular image quality, natural color reproduction, and fast, responsive handling. The general purpose imaging processors used by most digital cameras perform pixel operations one at a time. Digic, however, operates in parallel mode for exceptionally fast processing. Fast processing combines with high-capacity buffering to eliminate waiting time between shots, so when the great shots are ready, you are too. Newly developed anti-noise/high-resolution algorithms make stray light and off-color pixels minimal to non-existent. Feel free to enlarge and crop with exceptional results.

ISO Flexibility
Digital Rebel's digital component performance is impressive, offering you many advantages. ISO speed can be set from 100 to 1600 so when lighting conditions change, the camera can change with them. A conventional SLR would have to hold multiple rolls of film at various speeds to match this flexibility!

Works Smart on Its Own; Hands Over Control When You Want It
The Digital Rebel's 35-zone,AF point-linked Evaluative Metering Sensor and 3 metering modes make the art of controlling exposure as easy or advanced as you want. 35-zone Evaluative Metering ensures accurate, consistent exposure, taking into account lighting extremes and subject position through the active focusing point. Whether the light is bright and sunny or darkly atmospheric, whether it comes from the front or the back, exposure is detailed, natural and flattering.

Control is there when you want it, with Partial Metering to bring extra sensitivity to high-contrast situations, or Center-weighted Average Metering in manual exposure mode. Creative exposure options go even further with illumination from the built-in flash or an optional EX-series Speedlite: you can use Canon's most advanced flash metering system, E-TTL, plus FE Lock, High-speed Sync and Wireless E-TTL Autoflash.

A Fun Companion, at Your Side Wherever the Day Takes You
The Digital Rebel is compact and lightweight, with a secure rounded grip. In fact, it feels so good in your hand you'll want to bring it everywhere. Operation feels familiar and intuitive, whether you're new to digital, new to SLR cameras or even new to photography.

The Mode Dial makes one-handed shooting comfortable, with digital and shooting controls easily accessed and Cross Keys located right under your thumb handle the operations you'll use most. The LCD screen is big and informative, and you can even adjust the brightness setting. Menus are written in plain language and tabbed on a single screen -- no scrolling necessary. The highly intelligent Built-in Flash pops up and fires automatically in appropriate modes for point-and-shoot convenience.

The Versatility of SLR Photography with Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
The right side mounted Mode Dial makes one-handed shooting comfortable, and 12 versatile shooting modes let you make the call: shoot fully automatic, master a given situation with a Programmed Image Control mode, experience the excitement of manipulating shutter and aperture combinations, or go fully manual. Additional advanced exposure controls include AE Lock, FE Lock and AutoExposure Bracketing, which records 3 consecutive exposures with one shot to make sure you get the effect you want. And with a touch of the Depth-of-Field Preview Button, you can check the front-to-back sharpness of an image just before shooting. Illumination is always flattering thanks to Automatic Flash Output Reduction in backlit daytime conditions, and built-in Red-Eye Reduction.
