| The Canon EOS Digital Rebel brings advanced digital performance
and SLR controls to everyday photographers. Whether you're new to digital
cameras, SLR cameras, or even photography itself, you'll find that the EOS
Digital Rebel is powerful yet fun and easy to use. It features a 6.3-megapixel
sensor, automatic and manual controls, and compatibility with Canon's range
of EF lenses. This model comes with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 zoom
lens. Compact and ultralightweight with impressive close-focusing ability,
this lens features optimized coating for the Digital Rebel's imaging sensor
to minimize ghost images and flare. It comes with a lens cap and dust cap.
Optics and Resolution A large-format, high-resolution CMOS sensor captures
6.3 million pixels to deliver up to 3,027 x 2,048-pixel images. Other resolution
modes include 2,048 x 1,360 and 1,536 x 1,024. As it captures images, the
sensor amplifies each pixel's electric charge, for ultrafast image scanning.
The large sensor also has a 3:2 aspect ratio, traditional to 35mm film, for
a familiar compositional feel.
Canon's exclusive DIGIC image processor offers advanced signal processing
algorithms that heighten precision and detail, smooth gradation in highlight
areas, and create color reproduction that is as vivid as it is utterly natural.
Additionally, the DIGIC's speedier processing improves the camera's battery
performance, and adds to the camera's overall responsiveness and agility.
More Features
With the 1.8-inch LCD screen, you can zoom images from 1.5x all the way to
10x, moving up, down, left, and right to see any area up close. You can even
advance to the next shot in the enlarged view with no need to zoom again.
The Digital Rebel also generates JPEG small/normal image files to make image
playback faster on the camera's LCD monitor.

| Small enough to carry around and costing not much more than
a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the XL1S produces such high-quality
results that it is sure to be the top choice for many independent filmmakers
who demand full features and controls. Like its predecessor, the XL1, this
camera uses three separate 270,000 pixel CCDs (one for each primary color)
for the best picture quality. The XL1S records digital audio, with two channels
of 16 bit/48 KHz sound or four channels of 12 bit/32 KHz sound. The body
is based on a magnesium-alloy frame for maximum durability. It ships with
a 16x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization, but is also compatible
with other XL camcorder lenses. With an optional adapter, you can use Canon
EF (EOS) still-camera lenses--some of which also feature optical image
stabilization. The electronics of the XL1S have many advanced features, including
a number of programmed AE modes, as well as both shutter and aperture priority
modes. There are two different auto modes, one of which allows you to adjust
any setting manually, if you want, and the other, which adjusts every setting
automatically and lets you adjust nothing. A spotlight mode automatically
compensates for difficulties when shooting a subject bathed in a spotlight.
The computer-shooting mode gets rid of monitor flicker that happens when
shooting a computer screen. There are also three different shooting modes:
normal movie, digital photo, and frame movie. Normal movie mode is for any
time you want to shoot video footage. Digital-photo mode records a still
image for six seconds on the MiniDV tape and also captures any accompanying
audio for a commentary track. The frame movie mode records 30 noninterlaced
still images per second, instead of capturing 60 fps interlaced images. This
mode isn't intended to be used for shooting video (playback may not look
completely smooth). Rather, frame movie mode should be used as a burst, or
continuous, shooting mode, like you'd find on a still camera.
The XL1S offers many new and updated features over the XL1. There is a 16:9
shooting mode where electronic lines draw are displayed through the viewfinder
so you can compose your shots flexibly for later conversion to HDTV, where
16:9 is the standard. SMPTE color bars help establish a proper color reference
for shooting and editing. Interval recording lets you shoot time-elapsed
motion video with intervals from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Zebra patterns
help you determine overexposed areas in your shot so you can adjust the aperture
and shutter accordingly.

| The Zoom Date 1000 lets you zoom-in on all action, with the
simplified operation of an extra-large screen LCD. Inside the metallic body
of 35mm 3.6x zoom camera is an array of features that provide true
point-and-shoot convenience, plus the control that ensures superb results
in virtually any condition.
