Canon U.S.A., Inc.’s EOS Rebel series of digital single lens reflex cameras – the cameras that defined and refined what it means to be an “entry level” digital SLR – have now redefined the gateway prowess and “pro-ness” of the DSLR category with the introduction of the line’s new leader, the 12.2-megapixel EOS Rebel XSi camera. Incorporating a number of high-end functions and technology found in Canon’s professional SLR models, the EOS Rebel XSi camera boasts an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor.
When paired with any of the more than 60 compatible Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including optically image stabilized EF-S lenses like the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS – now included in the EOS Rebel XSi kit – or the new EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS, the EOS Rebel XSi DSLR delivers images that will delight and inspire family and friends at an entry level price tag.
Positioned between the highly acclaimed EOS 400D and 40D, the new EOS 450D successfully establishes its position as the camera of choice for first time digital SLR camera buyers who are seeking more creative control than previously offered in entry-level digital SLRs.
“The EOS 450D is a high-quality, feature-packed digital SLR and is very easy to use”, said Chris Macleod, Product Manager, digital SLR, Canon Australia. “It’s also lightweight and compact, making it easy for people to enjoy creative photography.”
