Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi is sporting a large-area 10.1 MegaPixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image processor. Its brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor, that has approximately 230,000 pixels, offers wide viewing angle of 160 and brighter, easier-to-read menus. It offers fast 3 frames-per-second shooting with 27-frame burst and a startup time of only 0.2 seconds. It features Picture Style settings as well as the high-precision 9-point AF system that is used for speedy and accurate focusing.

With a strong and lightweight body, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi digital SLR camera was designed with better ergonomics and an improved grip. To reduce dust in the camera, the Integrated Cleaning System, that includes both hardware and software solutions, was included. Among the digital EOS SLR cameras, this camera is the first to have such important technology. The system was installed to ensure the sensor is free of dust and debris so that it can deliver cleaner images.

The hardware and software solutions included in the Integrated Cleaning System are the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit and the Dust Delete Data Detection. The Self Cleaning Sensor automatically removes dust that adheres to the image sensor by using ultrasonic vibrations. The Dust Delete Data Detection is a software that erases dust spots. This software is included in the Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 2.2.

The E-TTL II flash metering system, which provides reliable flash output through several exposures, is also featured in the camera. Canon’s Speedlite 430EX, which suits the camera perfectly, enables high output flash. It includes a maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100.
