Canon Digital Rebel Specifications
Here's a short list of the major features
6.3MP CMOS digital sensor (22.7 x 15.1mm)
7 AF zones, 35 metering zones
Shutter speeds 30 - 1/4000. 1/200 sync
ISO 100-1600
2.5 fps with 4 shot buffer
A full list of the complete Digital Rebel (EOS 300D) specifications can be found on the Digital Rebel specifications Page
The Sensor
The CMOS sensor is 22.7 x 15.1mm and can generate a 3072 x 2048 pixel image. Since the sensor is smaller than a standard 35mm frame (36mm x 24mm), lenses will have a narrower field of view when mounted on a Digital Rebel than when mounted on a full frame 35mm camera. This gives rise the the 1.6x "cropping" or "multiplying" factor, so a standard Canon 50mm lens when mounted on a Digital rebel will give the same field of view as an 80mm lens (50 x 1.6 = 80) would on a normal full frame film body.
There are 3 image sizes and a total of 7 image capture modes:
Large/Fine: Approx. 3.1MB (3072 x 2048)
Large/ Normal: Approx. 1.8MB (3072 x 2048)
Middle/Fine: Approx. 1.8MB (2048 x 1360)
Middle/Normal: Approx. 1.2MB (2048 x1360)
Small/Fine: Approx. 1.4MB (1536 x 1024)
Small/Normal: Approx. 0.9MB (1536 x 1024).
RAW: Approx. 7MB (3072 x 2048)
The Lens
The Canon Digital Rebel is an SLR body, so there's no lens if that's what you buy. However there is a kit which includes the EF-S 18-55/3.5-5.6 lens - which is reviewed here in a separate article. Basically this lens gives you similar coverage as a 28-90 lens on a film SLR in terms of angle of view. It's a decent lens, better when not used wide open, and is certainly very good value for only $100 when purchased with the Digital Rebel body. Note that it is ONLY available as part of the kit, so if you want one, buy the kit. If you buy the body, then decide you wish you had bought the lens, you're out of luck if you want a new one. You'll have to search around for someone selling a used one.
Exposure Modes
There are the usual Canon EOS exposure modes found on all film based consumer EOS cameras, so if you've ever used a Rebel or Elan, these will be very familiar. The "Creative Zone" modes allow more user control (for example you can select ISO and one shot or continuous shooting). The "PIC" modes are designed to automatically give the best choice of settings (metering mode, AF mode, shooting mode, flash mode, ISO setting) without the user having to think much.
Creative zone modes:
Program AE (shiftable)
shutter-priority AE
aperture-priority AE
auto depth-of-field AE
full auto
manual.
Programmed image control modes ("PIC" modes)
Portrait
Landscape
Close-up
Sports
Night Portrait
Flash Off
E-TTL autoflash program AE

pix of camera
2 more
Hmm that looks good to me I'll have to talk it over with my brother first and then I'll get back to you on it.
I'll probably be next on the list if baXo doesn't buy it.
What kind of memory does it use? Removeable? If so, will it come with? Size?
it uses compact flash, dosnt come with it tho, i gotta use it in my new Sony a100, but... i'v been useing a 512mb card in it and that holds alot of pictures on high rez mode, shooting raw, it would hold about the same as a roll of 35mm film. the cards are around 30-50$ depending on size... im thinking of getting a 1 or 2 gig job for about 60 bux... infact, if i buy one before it gets sold, i'll include the 512 with it, but we'll have to see what happens first.
Yeah i'll take it
