5.3 Megapixels (2816 x 1880)
Small, high quality
2.5 Megapixels (1936 x 1288)
RAW + Large
10 Megapixels (3888 x 2592), saves both RAW and high quality JPEG
Picture Quality / Size Options (8.83)
The Rebel XS shoots at Large, Medium or Small image size, normal or high quality JPEGs, and can also shoot RAW and RAW+large JPEG, for a total of eight options.
The images are all 3:2 size format, and at highest resolution will print as an 8" x 12" at 300ppi quality.
Picture Effects Mode (1.00)
There are almost no editing controls on the XS. You can rotate or delete your images, which will have to be enough to slake your creative thirsts until you can get them on a computer for editing.
When shooting with the camera, there are six presets as well as three user-defined Picture Styles that can alter sharpness, contrast, saturation and color tone. Filter and tone effects can also be layered on top of this to create colored effects over the image. These modes can provide you with some visual flair if you don’t feel like tinkering on a computer. However, to get any of the more colorful effects, they have to be manually configured, as the default options (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome) mostly just alter sharpness.
