Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi digital SLR camera has a strong, lightweight body that is newly refined with better ergonomics and an improved grip. It also has the Integrated Cleaning System, with both hardware and software solutions to reduce dust that destroys image quality. It is the very first digital EOS SLR camera to feature this important technology. This camera was designed to deliver clean images by ensuring the sensor is free of dust and debris.

The Integrated Cleaning System includes a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit that combats against stray dust that enters the camera and sticks to the image sensor. The Self Cleaning Sensor uses ultrasonic vibrations to automatically remove dust from the sensor assembly. Dust spots on images can still be erased with the Dust Delete Data Detection. It is a software that is included in the Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 2.2.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi digital SLR camera is fully compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S Lenses. These lenses were designed with advanced optical features to deliver exceptional photographic performance. Examples of these advanced features are the Aspherical optics and fluorite elements. Some lenses feature Canon’s Image Stabilizer technology, which minimizes the effect of camera shake.

This camera can provide reliable flash output through several exposures because it features E-TTL II flash metering system. It also offers high output flash through Canon’s Speedlite 430EX that includes a maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100. Another great feature is the AF-assist Beam, which provides more accurate white balance. It sends color temperature information automatically to the camera when the flash fires.

Aside from the EF lenses and Speedlite flashes, Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi digital SLR camera is also compatible with other accessories. Among these accessories is the Battery Grip BG-E3 as well as the Semi Hard Case EH18-L. The battery grip adds a vertical shutter release, and can hold two NB-2LH Battery Packs.

These programs not only aim to perfect captured images, it also streamlines the digital workflow. One example is the Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.2) that processes images for easy layout and printing. This image processing program speeds up the processing and previewing of RAW images.
