Canon Digital Rebel XTi / EOS-400D
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 10:34 AM
"Canon’s EOS Digital Rebel XT model – the camera that set all time sales records for digital SLRs of any persuasion (supplanting the original Digital Rebel’s claim to that title) – now takes its place alongside of the newest member of the irrepressible Rebel clan: the 10.1 megapixel EOS Digital Rebel XTi SLR camera... In stores mid-September, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera is offered in both sleek brushed silver patina and “pro” matte black finishes. It is available in two kit configurations: with and without Canon’s high quality EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera will be available for an estimated selling price $899* with the zoom lens kit, while the body only kit will carry and estimated selling price of $799*. In order to maintain an appropriate pricing structure, the Digital Rebel XT model will carry an adjusted estimated selling price of $799* with the zoom lens kit and $699* for the body only kit."
To summarize - 10.1 megapixel images, new dust reduction system (which is totally sweet IMHO), 2.5" LCD display, 9-point autofocus, up to 10 RAW or 27 JPEG images in burst mode, and it ships next month. I really feel that Canon is offering a great value to those prosumers who don't want to invest in the 30D or the 5D and instead want that sub-$1000 camera.
