Features

With image resolutions of up to 12 megapixels, the Canon Digital Rebel XSi gives you the resolution you need to take poster size images. The 12 megapixels provide an exceptionally large amount of detail on all your images. Its 12 megapixels also make photo editing easier and enlarging cropped photos is no longer a problem.

With its 3 inch LCD monitor, there is enough room to see all the important functions of your camera. The large screen also helps you decide which photos are keepers and which ones get deleted. The screen on the 450D is also 50 percent brighter than that of the 400D.

Get the perfect shot with continuous shooting speeds up to 3.5 fps. This is perfect for sporting events or anything that is moving fast. The DIGIC III buffer can hold up to 53 JPGs, or 6 in RAW format without interruption.

The Live View feature lets you use the LCD screen as your viewfinder. Sometimes you just don’t want to have to look through the viewfinder. No problem. Just turn on the Live View mode and it functions just like a convention digital camera.

The 14 bit DIGIC III processing engine processes images quickly and reduces noise, leaving you with professional quality results.

The Canon Digital Rebel XSi employs Canon’s EOS integrated cleaning system to keep dust off the sensor and mirror. There is nothing worse than having your image ruined by dust that shows up in your photo.
