Canon Digital Rebel cameras
September 30, 2013
The rebel cameras have APS-C size sensors, light plastic bodies,
and offer amazing capability for the money.
I haven't payed much attention to the rebels, and this page reflects
only the cameras available in 2006 - there have been many new cameras
since then.
Canon 400D
The Rebel XTi, a 10 Megapixel rebel.
Canon 350D
Also known as the Digital Rebel XT. A fine camera and an amazing deal for
the money (around $700). An 8 megapixel CMOS sensor (not the same as in
the 20D, contrary to popular opinion). The plastic case makes it lightweight
and combined with its compact size this makes it handy and portable. On the
other hand once you have handled something like a 20D, it can seem flimsy,
although everyone who owns one seems entirely satisfied. An upgrade from
the 300D (the original Digital Rebel). Accepts EF-S lenses and the sensor
size is smaller than full frame by a factor of 1.6.
Spring, 2005
Canon 300D
Obsolete, but still available for $550 in early 2006.
The original digital rebel. A 6 megapixel camera that sold for $900
Replaced by the 350D.
