Canon Rebel Digital Cameras: Top Ranked, Value Priced
Canon Rebel Digital cameras are affordable and get high marks from consumers
and reviewers. 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.
In early 2005
Canon released 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.
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.
The Digital Rebels complement Canon's digital SLR line, joining the EOS 20D,
EOS-1D Mark II Pro, and staggering 16.7 megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark II Pro with full
35mm-sized sensor.
Priced comparably to many Prosumer models, Canon's Digital Rebels made a
quality digital SLR affordable to more consumers. Some discounters offer Digital
Rebels for under $800.
