If you’re looking for stunning photography with point and shoot ease, look no further than Canon’s EOS Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera. 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail for poster-size, photo-quality prints DIGIC III image processor provides fast, accurate image processing; improved Autofocus and framing rate. Large 3.0-inch LCD display; includes Canon’s EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. EOS Integrated Cleaning system, plus Dust Delete Data Detection in included software. The EOS Rebel XSi is one of the fastest cameras available today. It can shoot up to 3.5 frames per second, in bursts of 53 JPEGs or 6 RAW files, so you’ll never, ever, miss a shot.

It features Canon’s EOS Integrated Cleaning System, a powerful DIGIC III Image Processor, Live View Function, as well as a new 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and is available in a kit with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens with Optical Image Stabilizer. The camera includes a new 3.0-inch LCD monitor, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards and new accessories which enhance every aspect of the photographic experience. New advanced features include spot metering, external flash settings on the camera’s menu, and a new higher-magnification viewfinder. Excellent performance with 3.5 fps continuous shooting, up to 53 full-resolution JPEGs or 6 RAW images in a burst, and reduced shutter lag time.

Canon’s 12.2-megapixel CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor is an APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) which captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class, and there’s an effective 1.6x increase in the lens’s marked focal length when attached. The DIGIC III Image Processor, developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all digital camera operations for intuitive operation. The DIGIC III Image Processor works in concert with the EOS Rebel XSi’s sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations. The camera’s analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor that generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. The Highlight Tone Priority option featured in this converter allows critical shooters to increase the level of detail in bright areas of a scene up to one stop without affecting overall exposure.

The EOS Rebel XSi has a huge, bright 3.0-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 170 degrees. It’s perfect for Live View composition or viewing camera settings like AF, ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options. Live View Function enables you to view your subjects directly on the huge 3.0-inch LCD monitor. It’s easy to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. The the EOS Rebel XSi has a Display-Off sensor that automatically turns the LCD monitor off whenever the camera is at the photographer’s eye. All relevant shooting information, including ISO, is displayed right in the viewfinder so it’s easy to change settings without moving the camera away from the eye. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit (in the Integrated Cleaning System) routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. The digital camera has a new coating on the front surface of the low-pass filter, to increase its resistance to dust sticking to the sensor.

With the EOS Rebel XSi’s Picture Style technology, photographers can change the look of their digital photographs. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens features the wide-angle to mid-range zoom flexibility of its non-IS predecessor with the significant advantage of Canon’s true optical, lens-shift image stabilization system that yields up to a full four stops of image-shake correction. EOS Rebel XSi is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. The EOS Rebel XSi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness.
