Abstract: (Note: The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and EOS 400D are the same) The 6-megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel came on the scene in late 2003 and instantly established a new category of "affordable digital SLR cameras" with a price of under $1000, including...
Excellent 10.1 megapixel sensor with impressively low noise and superb detail

Kit lens is not quite matched to the cameras higher resolution

Its easy to miss much of whats improved on the Canon Rebel XTi, mostly because it seems so cosmetically similar to the Rebel XT. But the real improvements are internal. Getting to 10 megapixels while maintaining that industry-leading image quality wa...

Rapid high-speed shooting
Weak kit lens
Below average battery life

Compact and lightweight; fast and responsive; intelligently designed with shooting-friendly layout.
