Canon EOS Rebel XT

First Impressions Review

Previous: Page 7

Image Parameters

Connectivity
Software
The Rebel XT comes ready to connect to Windows XP or Mac OS X through PTP compatibility. Also packaged with the XT are EOS Capture, Digital Photo Professional, Zoom Browser EX, and PhotoStitch programs.

Jacks, Ports, Plugs
To complement the added processing speeds of the XT, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port is now included, which is capable of transferring images at roughly ten times the speed of the original Digital Rebel. A Video Out port and E3 wired remote control are also available for analogue transfers.

Direct Print Options
The Digital Rebel XT preserves the original Rebel’s reputation for consumer ease. Printing is no different with the PictBridge compliant Rebel XT. A Direct Print function is constructed into the camera’s design to simplify and expedite the printing process.

Battery
The Rebel XT uses a smaller NB-2LH battery (720 mAh capacity) than the original Rebel (or the EOS-10D and 20D). Thanks to the implementation of the DIGIC II Processor and reconfigured electronics, the XT is far more efficient, consuming 35 percent less power than the original EOS Digital Rebel. Because of this, the smaller battery on the XT retains the same image capacity per charge; this conserves physical space in the camera and enables a smaller frame to be used.

Memory
As expected, there is no internal memory contained within the Rebel XT. Recorded images can be written to both Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards as well as Microdrive media.

Other Features
Custom Functions - The Rebel XT has 9 custom functions, half as many as the EOS-20D's 18, although the original Rebel did not include any. Most are obscure and won't be noticed by the majority of users. Mirror lock-up is included - an important function I'd prefer to see more accessible as a menu item. A long exposure Noise Reduction Feature is also included, set within the C. Fn-02 custom function.

Depth of Field Preview — A depressible depth of field preview button is affixed to the front of the camera body, just to the left of the lens barrel. The DOF button enables users to view the frame with the lens stopped down prior to recording and perceive the potential planes of depth within the composition.

Remote Control — The Rebel XT can be remotely controlled by the RC-1/RC-5 wireless remote controller using the camera’s RS-60E3 Terminal. This is good for long exposures and lazy shooters!

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
