Canon Introduces the EOS Rebel XSi at PMA
Canon is showing the new EOS Rebel XSi at the current PMA 08 trade show and they should be proud. The 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor reportedly captures images with amazing sensitivity, and the 14-bit A/D conversion offers smooth tones and gradations. When low light, high-ISO situations call for additional noise reduction, the XSi offers an optional extra level.
The roomy 3-inch LCD monitor on the XSi can be enhanced with Live View, which works in two auto-focus modes: Quick mode, which uses the camera’s 9-point AF system, and Live mode, which senses image contrast.
Two new optional functions are Highlight Tone Priority, which allows the more discerning camera bugs among us to increase the level of detail in bright areas without affecting exposure in the whole frame, and Auto Optimization, which lightens dark areas while making sure bright areas maintain clarity.
Your hyperactive toddler can be captured with 3.5 fps continuous shooting of up to 53 high-res JPEGs or 6 RAW images at a time. Other new features include spot metering, external flash settings on the camera menu, new higher-magnification viewfinder, higher capacity battery, and the use of SD and SDHD cards.
The Rebel XSi will be available in April. Choose body or kit. The kit consists of the XSi body and new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens with Optical Image Stabilizer. Each is available in black or silver finish.
