The new Digital Rebel XTi camera should charm to an eclectic mixture of users: those wishing to upgrade from a situation and whiz digital, or those wishing to enhance leading their first generation digital SLRs. Features and cherish make this a 5-star camera, but it won't be everybody's cup of tea.
Comparing to the earlier Digital Rebel XT, important improvements are:
1) 10.1 megapixels. In digital camera circles, this is like proverb a car has more horsepower than an elder car. While this lonesome doesn't mean "better" films, in veracity, joint with other improvements in hardware and software, the results typically are better.;
2) 2.5" LCD panel. This alone has more than one advantage. The palpable first one is that our pictures look better in appraisal. The trice, and for somebody approaching 50 (like me), is that the LCD is now worn for all the camera's facts (secure zoom, space, shots left, etc.). It's much easier to read than the small LCD typically located on the top of the cameras. It might use up the batteries earlier, but, heck, if you can see the word this much easier, then so be it. One objection, it does not occur that the facts rotates when you do verticals (like the Sony Alpha 100).;
3) 9-aspect AF. The number of points are superior from 7, but the truly key here is that it's the practice from the 30D, which had a, much elevated grade of accuracy than the before Rebels.;
4) Picture Styles. I didn't really appreciate them at first, but plainly put, this is like the being of coat, when we could use a "likeness" skin or "landscape" covering. For those that don't like to do a lot of processor work, these can be VERY versatile in getting the right look in the camera.;
5) Dust cleaning order. OK, I think the dust drawback will perhaps be a little magnified, now that Canon offers a liquid, but it is an unfeigned, if not great, risk. Additionally, built it is moment to nobody. The first is through hardware. An ultrasonic filter could merely shake the dust off. Second is through software. If you pustule a severe section that won't shake off, you can do an allusion shot, and have the dust impassive by software on your computer.;
6)The grip has been better a little. The rubber on the grip is improved, and a defiant-steal strip has been placed on the back where the right thumb goes.
Most all other gear Canon know for exists. The camera focused rapidly and gently. Camera operations are agile and painless to locate and use. Pictures look great.
Now for the other surface. This is a bizarre time in that all the big players are comming out with a 10 megapixel camera at the same time, so the Canon has some stiff competition. Here goes a minimal comparison.
1) Compared to the other two cameras already untaken, the Sony A100 and Nikon D80 (both also 5-star cameras), the XTi is considerably lesser, and somewhat lighter. Some will like this, even some with average to middling-large hands. Nevertheless most people with larger, and some with somewhat smaller hands may fancy the other two choices.;
2) The array is somewhat smaller than rival's, and may drain a bit faster due to the LCD being used for data all the time.;
3) Functionally, the rear LCD is not as careful as the Sony's. The Sony's rotates, can be set to enlarge mode (50+ consumer again), and the structure that turns it off as your eye approaches also starts the AF on the Sony. [Although many like the top LCD, the Nikon way of needing to press a close on the back, then crest over the top to see what your location is not as good].;
4) No in camera stabalization. The A100 can turn the sensor to help eliminate camera shake. Nikon and Canon involve you to grip fairly pricey lenses to get the defiant-shake.;
Also, quickly to be added to the competion will be the Pentax K10D. Specs are imprecise right now, but it appears to be enter the competition as a 10 megapixel camera with built-in defiant-shake (much like their K100D).
Of these 3 currently on the market, the Canon is the slightest luxurious; hence, it's up to the other 2 to show they value more, a very strenuous task, really.
