High Performance. The EOS Digital Rebel XT features Canon's 8.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor, which captures images of exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, creating an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. Featuring an on chip Noise Reduction Circuit with an expanded ISO range, the Digital Rebel XT's sensor offers professional sophistication in a consumer package.

DIGIC II Image Processor. The EOS Digital Rebel XT's sensor is driven by the DIGIC II Image Processor, which has been enhanced across the board with improvements in speed and image quality. Information captured by the sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional clarity and resolution. Consuming very little energy, DIGIC II works with the sensor to ensure natural colors, accurate white balance and speedy write times, letting you focus on taking pictures.

Fast Shutter Speed. The EOS Digital Rebel XT was designed from the ground up to be faster and more intuitive than the Digital Rebel. From the ultra fast 0.2 sec startup time, shutter release lag of 100 msec and viewfinder blackout time of 175 msec, the Digital Rebel XT will never keep you waiting. A new high speed shutter shoots at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec. for up to 14 shots and synchronizes with your flash at 1/200 sec.

Compatible with over 50 Canon Lenses. The EOS Digital Rebel XT is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra wide angle to super telephoto lenses and including Canon's EF-S series Lenses, manufactured specifically for the Digital Rebel series and the EOS 20D.

Compact and Lightweight Design. Much smaller than its predecessor, the Digital Rebel XT measures 4.98" across, 3.71" tall and only 2.63" deep, so it fits perfectly in your hand. It also weights less than two pounds, making it one of the smallest SLR cameras on the market.
