Imaging Resource The new Rebel XTi has a 10.1 megapixel sensor, a 2.5 inch LCD screen, and a new dust cleaning system. Ultimately, the Canon Rebel XTi is an improvement of an already superb camera — the Rebel XT — with Canon's latest and greatest ...

The Digital Rebel XTi is the long-awaited upgrade to Canon's very successful Digital Rebel XT (see our review). Like the XT before it, the Rebel XTi (known as the EOS-400D in some countries) is an entry-level digital SLR, but that doesn't mean that it ...

Excellent photo quality (though see issue below) ; Very low noise, even at high ISOs ; Dust reduction system ; Large 2.5" LCD display ; Full manual controls, including nice white balance controls ; Robust performance, especially in terms of continuous ...

Images on the soft side at default settings ; Small, hard to hold body ; feels too "plasticky" in my opinion ; Below average battery life ; No spot metering ; No 2 second or custom self-timer (though mirror lockup is a workaround for the former)

Quality photos, lightweight and easy to handle, comprehensive manual settings, great on-board interface.

A little expensive, basic standard lens.

Although the 400D is a pricey entry-level SLR, its capture quality, versatile manual settings, lightweight design and interface more than balance the equation. Highly-recommended.

Third-generation Rebel piles on the megapixels, but loses its status LCD.

Excellent image quality, Increased resolution over the Rebel XT

No dedicated status display

This full-featured SLR delivers excellent image quality at a very reasonable price and is a solid choice for users who like its size and feel

Since the original 6-megapixel Digital Rebel became available in September 2003, this EOS series has been the best selling D-SLR line in the world. The second model, the 8-megapixel Rebel XT, introduced in February 2005, benefited from major ...

As expected, each of the Picture Style modes produced a different effect with color images. (They're unnecessary in raw capture of course, because all image parameters can be adjusted in the converter software.) Standard Picture Style worked well for ...

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (400D) is a thrilling new digital SLR, successor to the current EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT) that offers easy operation and affordability in a lightweight ergonomic body. It's based on the second generation DIGIC II Image ...
