Canon is thrilled to introduce the new EOS Rebel XSi, a Digital SLR that brings a new level of performance and technology to all photographers. With the EOS Rebel XSi, every aspect of the photographic experience is enhanced. Its new 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.0-inch LCD with Live View Function and an Image Stabilized lens work together to create stunning images, easily. With unprecedented sophistication and supreme usability, the EOS Rebel XSi inspires you and promises go-anywhere, shoot anything photography for everyone.
EOS Rebel XSi: Infinite Possibilities
Canon Digital Trinity
The EOS Rebel XSi’s CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) is complemented by Canon’s DIGIC III Image Processor, which enhances image quality and speeds up all the camera’s operations. The sensor and processor work in concert with Canon’s superlative EF and EF-S lenses, forming the ultimate Digital Trinity.
New Technology for Outstanding Images.
Outstanding Image Quality: New Canon 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC III Image Processor, 14-bit conversion for smooth tone, gradations, extensive noise reduction technology, and new Auto Optimization for superior highlight-shadow control.
Canon’s CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. 
It offers many of the same new technologies to maximize each pixel’s light gathering efficiency that were first seen with the professional EOS-1D Mark III model. It’s an APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm), and there’s an effective 1.6x increase in the lens’s marked focal length when attached. Canon’s DIGIC III Image Processor dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel XSi’s sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.
14-bit Tonal Conversion
The EOS Rebel XSi features 14-bit analog to digital signal conversion, generating data with incredibly smooth tones. With this rich 14-bit gradation the EOS Rebel XSi offers RAW images of the highest quality to complement 8-bit JPEGs.
Noise Reduction
The EOS Rebel XSi’s sensor features narrow-gap microlenses and noise reduction circuits to improve performance at high ISOs, and optimized photo diode configurations for improved performance at all ISOs. You’ll notice the results immediately.
Auto Lighting Optimization
The EOS Rebel XSi’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 Rebel XSi operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy AF and imperceptible shutter lag, the EOS Rebel XSi is one of the fastest cameras available today, shooting up to 3.5 frames per second, in bursts of 45 JPEGs or 6 RAW files.
Spot Metering
The EOS Rebel XSi features a spot meter, which analyzes 4% of the composition, plus Centerweighted average metering and partial metering for accurate exposure no matter the situation.
Huge 3.0″ LCD Monitor
The EOS Rebel XSi has a giant, bright 3.0-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 170°. It’s perfect for Live View Function composition or viewing camera settings like AF, ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options.
Live View Function
The EOS Rebel XSi 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’s easy to compose and shoot images right on the 3.0-inch LCD monitor.
Higher Magnification Viewfinder
The EOS Rebel XSi also has an improved, high magnification viewfinder with a sensor to disable the LCD monitor when the camera is brought to the eye. All relevant shooting information, including ISO, are displayed right in the viewfinder.
SD & SDHC Memory Cards
The EOS Rebel XSi uses popular SD and SDHC memory cards. Tiny, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, these cards are a perfect complement to the EOS Rebel XSi’s compact design.
Optical Image Stabilizer Lenses
Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology makes handheld photography possible in more low-light situations by counteracting camera shake for crisp, clear images. With Optical Image Stabilizer in the lens, Canon can equip each lens with the stabilizer it needs for effective shake correction. Other systems are limited by how far they can move an image sensor, and as a result their stabilization is less effective as telephoto lengths get longer. Also, stabilized images can be seen right in the viewfinder–impossible with some other stabilizer systems.
Advanced, Adaptable AF.
Fast 9-point AF system, and two types of AF during Live View Function.
The EOS Rebel XSi has a high-precision 9-point wide area AF sensor for fast, accurate focus even in dim lighting. It has a number of focus modes, including One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and Manual. In Live View Function, the EOS Rebel XSi has two AF modes: Quick mode, which uses the camera’s standard 9-point AF system, and Live mode, which is a contrast-based AF system that reads the sharpness of subjects right from the imaging sensor, and can be overridden by pressing the AF mode selection button. A familiar feature in PowerShot cameras, Live mode AF uses similar technologies to achieve focus, while Quick mode is more appropriate for capturing action or for shooting in low light.
Shooting and Sharing Made Easy.
Fully compatible with over 60 EF/EF-S Lenses and a wide range of EOS System accessories.
EF & EF-S Lenses
EOS Rebel XSi is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as Aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses, and Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology are featured in select lenses to minimize the effect of camera shake. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS Rebel XSi.
Flash Photography
The EOS Rebel XSi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering – giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there’s a menu setting to change to “Average” flash metering—where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure.
The Canon Speedlite 430EX is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful flash shooting with the EOS Rebel XSi. It has excellent flash power (maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great flash pictures when you can’t get right up to the subject. The 430EX is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS Rebel XSi. Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera.
