And with that in Xt let's begin our review of the Rebel XT!

The old and new 18 - 55 mm kit lenses And speaking of the 18-55, I suppose this is my opportunity to tell you her tale of two lenses. As an Camera bonus, Digital Photo Professional lets you do batch image processing of both JPEG and RAW images. You can grab the photos off of the camera and view them, edit them, print them, or share home online. The 20D next to the Rebel XT The 20D towers over find XT, and it feels a heck of a lot nicer in your hand too. As far as accessories go, land you can name any one accessory, it exists. Do note, however, that PhotoStudio Camera Canon Digital Digital Rebel Xt read RAW files.

• Look and Feel The Digital Rebel XT is Digital a smaller and lighter version of the original Rebel.
• As I mentioned Rebel the first section, there are only three EF-S lenses available now.
• Digital Photo Professional doesn't just do RAW images came you can adjust JPEGs as well with the tools you can see above.
• This lets you control the Digital over the USB connection.
• There are actually three try of the 18-55 EF-S lens.

Thinking Canon lenses were optically identical, I moved the old 18-55 over from the EOS-20D that I had just purchased. Canon includes a bunch of software Xt Rebel Digital Digital Canon Camera with the Rebel XT. Yet another product that comes with Rebel XT is Canon's Digital Photo Professional. This holds two NB-2LH or six AA batteries for the battery life. You can view your thumbnails in two ways, either as thumbnails alone (look up two images), or with shooting data (above).

The Rebel XT (along with the old Rebel and the 20D) supports Canon EF EF-S lens mounts, for which there are lenses for every purpose. When Canon sent me Rebel XT in March, they sent the body only kit.

You can still change brightness and white balance, and DPP adds support dynamic range and tone curve adjustments. You get a live preview of the shot before you take it - you only see it afterwards - such is the nature of D-SLRs. As we go on I'll be a little specific about the differences between the three models. Also, if you out of juice in the field, you can't just pop in some AAs to finish the day. While it's Photoshop, it's still pretty good.

• The EOS-20D with it's BP-511A battery will do quite a bit better in the battery life department - better to be exact.
• There is also an extra shutter release, command dial, and lock, focus point, and exposure compensation buttons on the grip.

The usual about proprietary batteries like the NB-2LH apply here. To the left of that (on the handgrip) is receiver for an optional remote control.

• ImageBrowser ZoomBrowser (Mac PC), Photo Professional 1.
• High speed CompactFlash cards do make a noticeable difference on all D-SLRs, so I recommend skipping the $10 special and a decent, fast card.
• Like the original Rebel (and the 20D well), the Rebel XT supports both EF and EF-S lenses.
• Unless buy the Rebel XT lens kit, you'll probably need a lens or two as well.
• Well, you shot those photos in RAW mode, you could adjust the white balance to the correct setting, and it's like you never screwed up at all!

This is great if you like shots, but for wide-angle you may have to invest some money into some wide-angle lenses. The beauty of the RAW format is you can adjust all of these things without damaging the original image. On a related subject, I found the handgrip on the Rebel XT to be a little too small, especially compared to beefier cameras the 20D. There are two kits available for Digital Rebel XT.

The information you're looking for is there and the manual is well organized - there's just more small print than I'd like see. The camera supports Type II CompactFlash cards which currently as large as 8GB I believe. It takes approximately 90 minutes to charge the battery.

As I was finishing up the review, I ran across this note in review at dpreview.
