Description: Canon's versatile Rebel XS makes capturing crisp, dynamic images easier than ever, even for digital SLR novices. This nimble cam's fully automatic operation lets you start snapping great-looking photos right away. Plus, you get the full manual control and focusing capabilities that SLRs are famous for, to help you explore your creative side. The XS offers plenty of picture-taking refinements, too, including a high-speed Canon image processor for fast shooting and superior image quality, and an extra-bright 2-1/2" LCD monitor with "live view" modes for composing your shots directly on-screen.
The Rebel's 10.1-megapixel image sensor gives you more than enough resolution for cropping, enlarging, and printing photos at large sizes, while retaining fine picture detail. It also employs high-sensitivity, low-noise CMOS technology to deliver pristine images with minimal grain. And this sensor is self-cleaning ? it uses ultrasonic vibrations to remove dust particles that can cause spots on your photos.
A 7-point wide-area autofocus system delivers fast, accurate focusing for crisp shots, even in dim lighting. And the XS's sharp Canon 18-55mm image-stabilizing zoom lens gives you crystal-clear, blur-free photos under all kinds of shooting conditions. Capture your images on optional ? no memory included.
