Wow! Quite amazing, Canon has just announced their followup to their entry level DSLR, the 350/Rebel XT. The new 400D/Rebel XTi is amazing! A few of the major differences is that the XTi is now 10 mega pixels versus the XT’s 8 and the LCD has gone from a mere 1.8″ to an astonishing 2.5″! Here are just a few specs:
| Sensor | 10.5 million total pixels |
|---|---|
| Sensor Size | 22.2 x 14.8 CMOS |
| Output Formats | RAW, RAW + JPEG, JPEG |
| Sensitivity (ISO) | 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 |
| Shutter | 30-1/4000 sec (0.5 or 0.3 EV steps) |
| Continuous | 3 fps up to 27 JPEG/10 RAW frames |
| LCD Monitor | 2.5″ TFT LCD, 230,000 pixels |
| Dimensions | 127 x 94 x 65 mm |
For more info, you can see DP Review’s initial release. Here’s the best part, the XTi will debut at $100 less than the XT! I would think this is going to piss off some 30D owners…

LOL, not likely. My next DSLR in the far, far, far, far, far (x infinity) future is going to be something more practical and reasonable like the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II
