8.0MP CMOS Sensor & Time-Tested DIGIC II Speed
8.0 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor: Captures clean, high-contrast imagery with excellent pixel-level detail. The sensor size yields a natural 1.6x focal length crop factor relative to full-frame 35mm formats, making it fully compatible with Canon’s extensive catalog of EF and EF-S lenses.
DIGIC II Image Processing Engine: Infuses the camera system with split-second start-up times, quick menu navigation, and optimized battery efficiency. This classic processor handles natural skin tones and rich color saturation beautifully straight out of the camera.
3.0 fps Continuous Shutter Drive: Fires full-resolution sequences at up to 3.0 frames per second for a continuous burst of up to 14 consecutive JPEGs, ensuring you can freeze fleeting moments or expressions.
Fast 7-Point Phase-Detection AF System: Utilizes a responsive 7-point wide-area autofocus array to quickly snap onto and lock focus on subjects across the composition, supporting One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, and predictive AI Servo AF for moving targets.
Premium Handling & Double Power via the BG-E3 Grip
Integrated Portrait-Orientation Controls: The included Canon BG-E3 Vertical Grip mounts seamlessly into the camera’s battery bay, adding a secondary, vertical shutter button, a main command dial, an exposure compensation button, and an AF point selection tool. This allows you to comfortably frame vertical portrait compositions with your wrist at a natural angle.
Dual Power Magazine Versatility: Heavily extends your field operating duration. The grip includes two independent power trays: one magazine holds up to two standard NB-2LH rechargeable lithium-ion batteries simultaneously, while the secondary emergency tray allows you to power the entire system using six standard AA batteries.
Enhanced System Balance: Drastically improves the overall ergonomics, hand-grip surface area, and center of gravity when rigging the lightweight Digital Rebel XT body to heavier L-series telephoto lenses or standard zooms.
Intuitive Interface & Practical Field Features
Dual-Display Interface Layout: Combines a clear 1.8-inch color LCD monitor for reviewing captures and adjusting deep menu parameters with a secondary, high-contrast monochrome data panel immediately above it for tracking critical exposure modes, battery life, and shot capacity at a quick glance.
Bright Optical Pentamirror Viewfinder: Provides a bright, clear, and lag-free view of your frame that remains perfectly legible under harsh outdoor sunlight.
Versatile Built-In Pop-Up Flash: Features a built-in retractable pop-up flash unit with an intelligent E-TTL II flash metering system, alongside a hot-shoe mount for attaching optional external Canon Speedlites.
