Canon Digital Trinity
The EOS RebelXSi’s CMOS sensor captures images
with exceptionalclarity and tonal range and offers
the most pixels in its class. ThisAPS-C size sensor
(22.2 x 14.8mm) is complemented byCanon’s
DIGIC III Image Processor, which enhancesimage
quality and speeds up all the camera’soperations.
The sensor and processor workin concert with
Canon’s superlative EF and EF-Slenses, forming the
ultimate Digital Trinity.
14-bit Tonal Conversion
The EOS RebelXSi features 14-bit analog to digital
signal conversion, generating data with incredibly
smooth tones. With this rich 14-bitgradation the
EOS RebelXSi offers RAW images of the highest
quality to complement 8-bit JPEGs.
Noise Reduction
The EOS RebelXSi’s sensor features narrow-gap
microlenses and noise reduction circuitsto improve
performance at high ISOs, and optimized photo
diode configurations for improved performance at
all ISOs. You’llnotice the results immediately.
Auto Lighting Optimization
The EOS RebelXSi’s
Auto Optimization
feature analyzes the
photographic scene and
compensates automatically, brightening dark
faces, boosting contrast
and brightening highlights in flat light, and
adjusting exposure
when flash output is
insufficient.
3.5 fps Continuous Shooting
The EOS RebelXSi operates with such effortless
speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive.
With instantstartup times, speedy AF and imperceptible shutter lag, the EOSRebel XSi is one of the fastest camerasavailable today, shooting up to 3.5 frames
per second, in bursts of 45 JPEGsor 6 RAW files.
Spot Metering
The EOS RebelXSi features a spot meter, which
analyzes 4% of the composition, plus Centerweighted average metering and partial metering for
accurate exposure no matter the situation.
EOS Rebel XSi:
Infinite Possibilities
Canon is thrilled to introduce the new
E

Rebel XSi, aDigital SLR that brings a new
level of performance and technology to all
phot
ographers. With the EOS RebelXSi,
every aspect of the photographic
experience is enhanced. Its new 12.2-

asily. With unprece-
dent
ed sophi
stication and supreme usability,
the EOS Rebel XSi inspiresyou and promises
go-anywhere, shoot anything photography
for everyone.
Huge 3.0" LCD Monitor
The EOS RebelXSi has a giant, bright 3.0-inch TFT
LCD monitor with 230,000 pixelsand a viewing
angle of 170˚. It’s perfect for Live View Function
composition or viewing camera settingslike AF,
ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options.
Live View Function
The EOS RebelXSi is the first EOS Rebel series to
feature Canon’s Live View Function technology.
With Live View Function, you never have to bring
the camera to your eye: it’seasy to compose and
shoot images right on the 3.0-inch LCD monitor.
Higher Magnification Viewfinder
The EOS RebelXSi also has an improved, high
magnification viewfinder with a sensor to disable
the LCD monitor when the camera isbrought to the
eye. All relevant shooting information, including
ISO, are displayed rightin the viewfinder.
SD & SDHC Memory Cards
The EOS RebelXSi uses popular SD and
SDHC memory cards. Tiny, inexpensive and
available in increasinglylarge capacities,
these cards are a perfect complementto
the EOS RebelXSi’s compact design.
Optical Image Stabilizer Lenses
Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology makeshandheld photography
possible in more low-light situations
by counteracting camera shake for crisp, clear
images. With OpticalImage Stabilizer in the lens,
Canon can equip each lenswith the stabilizer it
needs for effective shake correction. Other systems
are limited byhow far they can move an image sensor,
and as a resulttheir stabilization is less effective as
telephoto lengthsget longer. Also, stabilized images
can be seen right in the viewfinder–impossible
with some other stabilizer systems.

EF/EF-S Lenses
Like other EOS DigitalSLR cameras,
the EOS Rebel XSi is compatible
with over 50 Canon lenses in the
EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide
angle to super telephoto lenses,
including Canon’s EF-S series lenses
that are manufactured specifically
for APS-C sized digital sensors such
as the one in the EOS Rebel XSi.
