Picture Quality / Size Options
The 12.2-megapixel, APS-C sized (22.2 x 14.8mm) CMOS sensor records in JPEG (14-bit Canon), RAW, and simultaneously as JPEG + RAW. Users can select through the menu how big the files should be with the following resolution and compression options:
 
 
There is no 640 x 480 picture size, which is typical for point-and-shoots but not SLRs. That means users will likely have to downsize the picture through post-processing software for e-mailing or posting to the Web. 
 
Picture Effects Mode
The Canon Digital Rebel calls its picture effects mode "Picture Style," a capture mode that adjusts color, contrast, and sharpness. Users can access Picture Style through the Record menu for the following options: Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome. This is especially helpful for photographers who deal with large volumes of photos on demand. Instead of post-processing, the camera makes adjustments during capture.

    Nikon D5100

    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
