12.2 Megapixel APS-C Size CMOS SensorThe EOS Rebel XSi features an all-new Canon 12.2 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor. With its generous 22.2 x 14.8mm image size, the sensor captures every nuance of your scene from highlight to shadow. With a 14-bit A/D conversion, the Canon EOS 40D provides fine transitions from light to dark tones and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise. The APS-C size sensor with a 3:2 aspect ratio realizes an effective angle of view that's just 1.6 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses.
Fast 9-point AF SystemThe EOS Rebel XSi incorporates an extraordinary high-precision 9-point AF system to keep your subjects in sharp focus even when shooting in constantly changing conditions. In Live View Function, two AF modes (Quick mode and Live mode) provides flexible shooting while in different condition.
DIGIC III Image ProcessorDeveloped to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS Rebel XSi processor is faster and more powerful than ever. Combined with Canon's CMOS sensor, the latest-generation DIGIC III Image Processor achieves even higher levels of performance. The entire electronic system is totally re-designed for an incredible combination of speed and image quality, delivering significantly reduced digital noise in shadow areas and superior color reproduction.
Large 3.0” LCD Screen with Live View FunctionThe EOS Rebel XSi features a stunning, ultra large 3.0-inch LCD screen for effortless menu reading and provides greater viewing angles (170°) than many conventional units. With the new live view function, frame and shoot directly through the LCD screen for finely composed shots. Users can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for architectural photography.
3.5fps Continuous ShootingWith instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS Rebel XSi is one of the fastest entry-level cameras, it provides 3.5 continuous frames per second, in bursts of 53 JPEGs or 6 RAW files, so you can capture every memorable moment, and you’ll never miss one!
