Canon EOS Digital Rebel Cameras: Digital SLRs for Everyone
Canon EOS Digital Rebel cameras revolutionized the digital SLR market. The first Digital Rebel, the EOS 300D, was introduced in August
2003. A 6.3 megapixel large format CMOS sensor, DiGiC image processor, and $899
price tag created a stir in the digital SLR world.
A year and a half later saw the release of the EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT.
Smaller, lighter and more powerful than the 300D, the XT sports a 2nd generation
8.0 megapixel CMOS sensor, and a more efficient DiGiC II processor at the same
MSRP.
The large format, 3:2 aspect ratio sensors provide high quality images in the
familiar 35MM photo format. Canon's DiGiC and DiGiC II processors are faster,
draw less power, and power-up almost instantaneously.
Canon ultra-compact, compact, prosumer
and SLR cameras get some of the highest marks in the industry.
The Digital Rebel was the first camera to support Canon's new EF-S lenses.
Designed for digital SLR cameras, these lenses are smaller and lighter but with
the same mount and contacts as conventional EF lenses. This dual lens
compatibility gives the Digital Rebels a choice of more than 50 interchangeable
lenses.
Priced comparably to many Prosumer models, the EOS Digital Rebels make a
quality digital SLR affordable to more consumers. Some discounters offer Digital
rebels for under $800.
