Canon Rebel XTi Camera Review
The Canon Rebel XTi camera is vastly popular, suggesting both that it has positive qualities and that there must be something out there that”s less known but more worthy of praise.
A great value, the Canon Rebel XTi is arguably among the best choices for consumers who can”t afford the top of the line. Critics have spoken of the Canon Rebel XTi as a good entry level camera for those interested in the D-SLRs; it has a quick startup time and can take up to three frames per second (although mid-level models can typically perform at five frames per second).
If fitted with a higher quality lens, the Canon Rebel XTi is a great choice both for amateurs or casual photographers as well as for a possible backup camera for professionals – a testament to its quality. Indeed, if used with a high caliber lens, the Canon Rebel XTi takes pictures that are more than good enough for almost any occasion. The Canon Rebel XTi is also celebrated as being quick to focus even in conditions of low light. Of course, this depends on the selections of lens and light conditions.
The Canon Rebel XTi is comparable in both size and weight to the Canon Rebel XTi”s close relative, the Rebel XT. The Canon Rebel XTi is even smaller then the Nikon D80. However, the XTi has only a single, though large, LCD screen, which is not as favored as the two smaller screens available on the XT variety. Furthermore, some complain that the Canon Rebel XTi is somewhat difficult to hold, having perhaps too small of a grip that also lacks depth.
In general, the Canon Rebel XTi is an overall improvement of the Rebel XT, already considered a superior camera. The user interface is a particular area that was improved upon, and is considerably different than previous models. Canon Rebel XTi can be purchased either by itself or in a kit that also has the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.
