Canon EOS Rebel XT
Digital Camera Review
Mar 05, 2005
- By Alex Burack & Norman Koren
3.6
Attracting attention and making a spectacle, Canon stole the show at the annual Photo Marketing Association convention in Orlando with the release of their second generation Digital Rebel. Many heads were turned to the Canon booth from the start, desperate for a glimpse of the EOS Digital Rebel XT.
The 8 megapixel Canon Digital Rebel XT single lens reflex camera (Kiss Digital 2e in Japan and EOS-350D in most of the rest of the world outside the US) is the successor to– but not a replacement for– the original 6.3 megapixel Rebel. It will be available in March 2005 for $899 (body only) or $999 (with the surprisingly sharp EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens). The original Rebel will remain available, dropping into a more affordable area of the consumer market, selling for $799 with the series I 18-55mm EF-S lens; however the original Rebel will no longer be offered as just a body.
