In the Canon EOS rebel XTi Digital Camera Review

The Canon EOS Rebel series, the most famous series of SLR cameras in the last ten years. The Digital Rebel XTi is the updated version of the Digital Rebel XT. At a price of $ 899 with kit lens, this model is the tradition of pro Canon EOS camera offers an excellent entry-level office in the prices.

Although the CMOS chip used by the XTi is the same size as the version on the XT, Canon full of more pixels into the room to dump the resolution and to improve the design of micro-lenses, the "eyes" of the Convention. The microlenses gather indirect light and focus again on the sensor. The XTi office, including the size of the photo sites themselves. (The sites are small photo-electric diodes, the light into electrical charges.) The result of this improved technology is a cheap camera that has enough sensitivity to properly rich blacks and low-light colors. Apart from that, "adequate" is a subjective concept. It is noteworthy that the XTi and visible image noise was significantly worse than that of the Convention as the basis for the Nikon D80 ISO speed.

The CMOS chip in the XTi is self-cleaning. Like many other digital SLR, the low-pass filter layer vibrates when the camera is turned off or shake the dust from the sensor away addition, there is an anti-static layer on the filter, the dust are encountered.
Unfortunately, as the Rebel XT, the XTi lacks a site meter, provides only half of center-weighted, partial and center-metering. This amounts to a serious neglect. Meters of land are in many situations in which a subject is backlit. I had to close to a subject who is standing in front of a bright background, a reading which falls outside his face before saving the image. Even then, there have been some trial and error. The lack of spot metering, could be one of the main shortcomings of the camera.

The shutter is fast, but somewhat slower in comparison to the Nikon D80 and Canon D30 above. 18 - Kit 55 mm lens with the camera is light and balances with the camera, but is rather slow and only allows a maximum of f/3.5 Aperature. This is her picture in low light conditions, such as superficial and situations, it may be your depth of field. It is also something more insidious than the Depth of Field / low light performance, and the images themselves are usually a bit soft, when you look at the largest opening. But keep in mind that you have a plethora of options, the Canon EF and EF-S main objectives, the Canon offers. This will significantly increase sensitivity to light and Depth of Field manipulation. Remember that because of the physics of the CCD camera, the "real" focal length of 1.6X is from what is in the target. For example, a 50 mm is the first field in relation to a lens of 80 mm.

In addition, the onboard flash exposure or a tendency to blow a fair-skinned people from close range with a significant amount of chromatic aberration. But with a little manual adjustment of flash exposure, you get the knack, well exposed and color balanced flash photos. In addition, the camera takes pictures in uncompressed RAW format, so that images of very high resolution can be optimized in Photoshop CS2 and CS3.

The main changes in the new Rebel XTi is the 2.5 "LCD screen. If you recall, the original Digital Rebel XT and Rebel had 1.8" screens, the strange little in those days. The LCD has 230.000 pixels, which makes it competitive with other entry-level D-SLR there. As with most D-SLR, the screen is only for the review of photos and navigation menus - not images.

As with all D-SLR from Canon is not even a memory card with the Rebel XTi, you must factor in the total purchase price. Fortunately, Compact Flash cards are cheap these days, and I recommend a 1 GB card, such as a good starter size. The Rebel XTi supports Type I and II cards, including the Microdrive. The purchase of a High-Speed CF Card (50x or more) is a good idea.

In general, the Cannon EOS Rebel XTi is good, solid under a variety of circumstances decent images, especially in medium to high light. It is an ideal camera for amateur photographers with an interest in a cheap camera with affordable features to improve their knowledge, good pictures, and leave a little hungry for more
