Canon EOS Rebel XT
Digital Camera Review
Jun 01, 2005
- By Alex Burack
3.6
At the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show in February 2005, Canon announced the highly-speculated 8 megapixel successor to the Digital Rebel. 18 months after the release of the original EOS Canon Digital Rebel, the Rebel XT improves upon its predecessor with 20 percent more resolution in a 15 percent smaller casing. The trimmed body of the XT packs in a DIGIC II image processor, which translates to faster processing speeds and advanced image control. The start-up time from the original Rebel is dramatically improved upon in the XT, from almost 2 seconds to 0.2 seconds, and it offers an increased burst mode which now captures consecutive images at 3 fps for 14 consecutive shots. Canon’s XT offers a feature set similar to the pricier Canon EOS 20D, but it is aimed at entry-level DSLR users looking for a camera that blends advanced control with a simplified interface.
