Top 5 EOS Rebel Cameras Comparison	Canon EOS Rebel XT	Canon EOS Rebel XTi	Canon EOS Rebel XS	Canon EOS Rebel XSi	Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Reviews from CNET.com	It is exceptionally small and lightweight camera designed for amateur DSLR photographers, but it delivers the responsiveness and image quality you'd expect from a semi-pro model.	The Canon EOS Rebel XTi remains a very good first DSLR, but ultimately a disappointing followup to the XT, which cedes its lead to the Nikon D80.	The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a good entry-level DSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.	It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.	A solid, slightly better-than-basic dSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i delivers photo quality and performance that adequately compensates for most of its annoyances.

The Canon EOS Rebel XTi represents a major leap of EOS technology. The body is available in both black and silver color and the body is made by stainless steel/polycarbonate. The silver body sold in Australia is known as the EOS 400D silver body, while it’s under the name Rebel XTi silver body in the US. The size is relatively the same as the previous Rebel XT model, which is quite small for average men’s hands.

The LCD screen in Rebel XTi is bigger than before. With the 2.5″ LCD display for a large thumbnail image, the screen can display about 230,000 pixel, which is much more superior compared to the previous Rebel XT camera model whose screen is only 1.8″ wide. The pop-up flash, enhanced with the latest versions, is capable of pulling up to 36 meters away. The shooting modes include A-Dep, M, Av, Tv, P, Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sport, Night and No Flash.

The CMOS optical sensor has improved significantly in Rebel XTi, up to 10.1 megapixels compared with 8.0 megapixels available in the older Rebel XT model. Also, the ISO is wider ranging from 100 up 1,600 allowing you to shoot even in the dark. And the camera is newly equipped with the automatic cleansing system, which help reduce dust from the camera lens. The shutter speed goes from 1/ 4,000, which is great for sports shooting, to several seconds. Another real advantage is that it allows 9-area autofocus system, with faster image processing.

Furthermore, the Rebel XTi allows you to take photos in uncompressed format (RAW), which means you are able to shoot photos with super high resolution images and can also be adjusted in Photoshop CS2 and CS3 as well. The Digic II image processor is provided with approximately 0.2 second start-up time. Users can choose either NTSC or PAL video outputs and the it is compatible with major operating systems such as Windows and Mac.

The Rebel XTi usually comes with kit lens (f/18-55) but can easily be replaced with a big 70-300 or a 75-300 with image stabilizer system (Recommend!). In fact, it is absolutely compatible with the whole Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites.

The criticism for the Rebel XTi, like the Rebel XT, is that it doesn’t possess a spot meter. It only supplies center and partial center weighted metering. This might be a problem when the object is standing right before the shining background as it is difficult to judge. Probably, this is the most significant limitation of this camera model.

In overall, the Rebel XTi enables you to capture solid pictures with options under a wide variety of circumstances; especially in moderate and high light levels. Also, it’s a good-choice camera for photographers, who desired of having an affordable camera. Definitely, there are some pro features which help you take some great photos, and it would make you hungry for more advanced pro cameras. So, this Rebel XTi is recommended for semi-professionals or amateurs like me as the price is approximately USD 899, which is not expensive at all.

As you begin looking for the new camera, there should be something that you have to ask yourself. By way of asking those questions, the answers that you have could ultimately give you a potential odd for getting the right camera for you and make your decision quicker. The following list is the basic criteria that I usually use for buying new digital camera. As your shopping continues, you can modify this list to suit your own needs.

Budget

Of course, I put this as the first criterion as it is probably the first thing I will consider. In reality, there are tons of digital cameras out there in the market with the difference in terms of size, shape and quality. So, to narrow down the list, you should consider what kind of camera you can afford to pay, given the specific budget that you have.

Size

Nowadays, as manufacturers try to put some modern technologies to digital cameras, they are as a result getting smaller in every year. What is good about this technological advancement is that it allows you to have more convenience since you are able to take the camera anywhere. However, some, especially men, may not like the small camera since handling camera and shooting photo could be uncomfortable. So, I would say that tiny body, grips and buttons may not necessarily be a good thing for everyone.

Features

Features are probably the most important things to consider when buying a new digital camera. Obviously, Megapixels is the one that will determine the price level of each digital camera. It will give you the resolution of photo, i.e. how much sharpness your camera is able to create.

The zooming ability is also important to consider. To determine the importance of this ability, you may have to think what occasion you need to use zoom and how often you would use. For example, when you go to wedding ceremony, do you usually shoot many wedding shots of bride and groom when you are in the back to the church or you just take the landscape photo inside? If you often take pictures of people (i.e. portrait pictures) or any specific objects, you may need to have high zooming ability. I advise you to think about this carefully as more zooming ability means more money spent.

Also, you should consider the quality of image when you buy digital camera. This is relatively difficult to judge but you can gain some more ideas from salespersons in camera shops. So, I think it is good to talk with them and keep asking questions that you may have.

Everyday Use

As I previously mentioned, you should always consider what kind of activities and where you will use the camera. Different kinds of events (such as indoor, outdoor, sports actions, landscape, portrait) require different kinds of cameras, lens and accessories. So, be true to yourself and try to express this to salespersons in store so that they will be able to help you find the right camera.

Others

When you have a plan to buy the new camera, you should find the camera that really does it for you. It is important not to go out shopping the camera with a brand name or buy it just because someone recommends to you. If your hands always shake, you may need an image stabilizer on your camera or lens. Also, some cameras have a function that can reduce a red eye.

In closing, you should carefully consider all of these criteria and features with the price or budget you can afford. Again, remember that realizing what you actually need or look for will help you get the camera that is right for you.
