Canon EOS Digital Rebel Review

Image Quality
The
Canon EOS Digital Rebel is a digital camera
targeted to serious and advanced amateur photographers
and its image quality is comparable to other 6
megapixels resolution professional
digital SLR cameras. It produces image quality
professionals make a living by -- and that far
surpasses anything currently output by consumer
and prosumer digital cameras. In other words,
image quality and feature-wise, the EOS Digital
Rebel is a professional dSLR with a price point
that makes it accessible to the amateur photographers.
Since
most of you are interested in the EOS Digital
Rebel because of the professional level image
quality made possible by the large image sensor,
I have taken a number of the picture samples at
the high ISOs of 400, 800 and 1600 so you can
have an idea of the presence or absence of noise
at those ISOs. Of course, I have also included
pictures at ISO 100, the lowest ISO on the EOS
Digital Rebel. The minimal noise present at high
ISOs opens up low-light and action picture possibilities
once reserved only to those who could afford the
expensive professional dSLRs.
For this review, I used the following settings
as my preferred settings:
-
Shooting Mode: Program AE
-
Metering Mode: Evaluative (default)
- ISO:
100
- Image
Size: 3072x2048 (Large)
- Image
Quality: Fine
- White
Balance: Auto
All the pictures on this and the other pages (including
the navigation pictures at the top of each page)
have been taken by the EOS Digital Rebel for this
review. The pictures on this page provide a good
sample of what the EOS Digital Rebel is capable
of and I have provided the 800x533 version. Remember
that this version is of slightly lesser quality
than the original 3072x2048 version. Please open
and download only once to your hard drive -- and
save me some precious bandwidth. Thanks!

A
Personal Word
The
Canon EOS Digital Rebel brings "professional"
image quality and dSLR functionality to the mass
market. It is suited exceptionally well to serious
amateur photographers who are willing to take
the time to learn how to use the camera. Spend
the time and effort to learn the camera and photography
in general, and the EOS Digital Rebel will reward
you with exceptional quality pictures.
