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. |
The large-format, high-resolution CMOS sensor captures a staggering 6.3 million pixels. |
Creative Zone modes include A-DEP, Manual, Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE, and Program AE. |
Advanced controls will keep experienced photographers motivated and inspire beginners to expand their SLR skills. Creative Zone modes include A-DEP (automatic-depth-of-field autoexposure) to set a "zone of sharpness," Manual, Aperture Priority AE to set the aperture, Shutter Priority AE to set shutter speed, and Program AE to let the camera select different shutter/aperture combinations while maintaining a constant exposure.
The camera's controls are intelligently arranged. A mode dial gives you easy access to shooting controls to make even one-handed shooting comfortable.
Other features include:
- Built-in, pop-up flash with an approximate 3-second recycle time
- Continuous shooting speed of approximately 2.5 frames per second with a maximum burst mode of 4 shots
- ISO speed range of 100 to 1600
- 7-point autofocus with the following modes: One-Shot AF, Predictive AI Servo AF, AI Focus AF (automatically selects One-Shot AF or AI Servo AF according to shooting mode), Manual Focusing (MF)

Great entry Camera.......2007-09-15
I had this camera for a little over a year. Takes wonderful pictures, is very easy to carry around. I upgraded to the Rebel XTI, I wanted to upgrade to the 40D but after Nikon announced the D300 I knew the Canon 40D is not worth the asking price. I settled for the XTI until a more fully featured semi pro Canon would be released at a reasonable price. If you want a camera under $600 then the 300D Rebel XT is a good choice. For almost the same price you should go with the new 400D Rebel XTI. I would personally purchase the body only and buy a good lens, the lens that come with these models are not the best.
Great starter camera.......2007-08-27
I'm a photography novice and this is my first SLR. It's been a great camera since I bought it 2 years ago; very easy to use and very powerful. I can't see wanting a better camera when you're starting out like I am. There are many better cameras but I can't justify the cost with how little I know about photography.
The software isn't great but it does the job. The only thing that's bad about the camera is that it makes you want to go out and start spending too much money on lenses and other equipment. I'd say photography is a pretty healthy hobby though.. who doesn't want to go out and take great sunset pictures?
good practice camera.......2007-05-19
I'm hoping for a Digic III chip before buying a new one, but for anyone looking for a camera they can learn and experiment at a cheaper price, the 300D is your best choice.
It offers the same basic usage as the newer canons; the 350 and 400D's without the "fancy; seldom used" features. If you're looking for a cheap DSLR for point and shot, this is it.
If you can find a slightly used one, this will be a good choice to start before buying the more expensive ones. :)
Me, i've upgrade to a used D60. same 6MP sensor but more of a MID-Pro camera. I might buy a 30D some day, if you have the money and is seriously looking forward to photography as a hobby, the 30D will be your choice.
Just remember, the camera body is only half the equation, you need good quality lenses too, case in point, my lense collection is 3 times as much as i spend on my camera body.
Loved it, but it's starting to fail me now..........2007-03-18
I bought my DigiReb in Feb. 2005 and have shot literally thousands of photos with it since then, with few problems. I added a Canon EF 28-105mm ultrasonic lens last year and have enjoyed the results, although I found early on that the new lens no longer allowed me the luxury of shooting on autofocus. Okay, so, necessity forced me to learn to love manual operation of the DigiReb.
Media cards - Generally, I've used and sworn by SanDisk 512MB CF cards. They've never failed me, and have allowed me to reuse them many times over. About a year ago I bought a Hitachi 4GB Microdrive media card and while I loved the storage space, I found that the processing time was far slower than a simple 1GB SanDisk CF card I also purchased. Not so infrequently, when shooting with the Microdrive, I found that the card didn't record an image, but instead I'd see the dreaded "Corrupted data" message on the LCD where I'd hope to see an image.
Let's also talk batteries. I've noticed on cold days that the proprietary Canon lithium batteries for the Digital Rebel drain down quickly in cold temps - today's temps in DC were in the high-20's to low-30's. And I do think that you are hardpressed to get through one day of serious shutterbugging (say, traveling through Tuscany, where you could easily snap off 300 shots) without going through one lithium battery and half of another. Let's face it - when you're shooting on manual and trying to adjust for the light with a bright sky but a less than bright street scene, you want to check the LCD to see whether you need to adjust and take another shot. And that means you're going to go thru batteries.
Earlier today I went out for a hike at Great Falls Park, taking the camera along, with those frosty temps ready to drain the lone battery I took along. I was able to capture a few early shots, and while the battery power quickly went from reading full to less than half full, the camera continued to work...except that it simply took blank images - all black...! Battery was present, microdrive was loaded, lens cap was off, shutter depressed, photo seemed to have been taken, but nothing showed up on the LCD. Not even a "Corrupt Data" message. Only a dark screen.
So, this afternoon I've purchased a SanDisk Extreme III 2GB CF card, have recharged my batteries and am indoors, with an ambient room temp in the low 70's. Fired up the DigiReb, shot a handful of images, and...I'm still getting the black screen of death. The DigiReb and it's flash are snapping away, but something's missing. (Downloaded the images to my laptop - no dice, nothing, but black screens.)
If anyone else has encountered this problem, please let me know what you found out about the issue.
It would really reflect poorly on Canon for this product to give up the ghost after just two years of service...That's why I'm giving this product only 3 stars.

It was so small and so useful!.......2006-12-30
I bought the olympus digital voice recorder for my singing class. It was recommended by my voice instructor and it works great! The sound quality is awesome--it doesn't pick up background noise like other recorders I've used. Plus, I really like that there are several folders so I was able to organize everything. I used two of the folders to keep notes from my discussion classes in college and the others for song samples.
Handy and dependable.......2004-08-03
I've been using this recorder for 6 months now, and I've had no problems with it. I changed batteries only once, and that was at the end of a semester's worth of voice lessons. It fits right in the palm of my hand and the design of the back makes it easy to grip with one hand (either left or right). It slips easily into a shirt or pants pocket. It's also relatively easy to use. Recording quality is good. Recording time at high quality (HQ) is around 20 mins., which fit my needs quite well. I would not have survived my voice lessons without this handy little helper!
Perfect little number.......2004-02-12
This is a supa little recording device. Very compact and easy to use. I agree that the LP mode is rather crap, but it does work for emergency long recordings (if you were say kidnapped and held in a small box and needed to record what the criminals were saying). The HQ mode is cool tho, offering 22mins of hi-quality recording time.
I mainly use it for recording ideas for tunes that I have whilst away from my Mac, so 22 mins is easily long enough. Much better than trying to remember a tune in you head until you get home.
Great size, good price. LP quality not usable.......2004-01-23
I recommend this voice recorder. The size is excellent. I carry it everywhere in my pocket and use it everyday at least once. Haven't had to change the batteries yet after 3 months of use. It's easy to use, easy to organize your recordings and will keep track of when you recorded them (date and time). It doubles as a pocket clock for those without a wristwatch.
You can even keep it by your bedside and use it at night if you have to make a note. The REC button is easy to locate and there's a small red light for when it's recording. The voice detection feature works well, too (it stops recording during periods of silence). You can turn on distinctive beeps in the menu, which could work pretty well for the visually impaired.
The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because it claims 90 minutes of recording time at LP, when SP (33 min) and HQ (15 min?) are the only modes that produce voice recordings you can actually understand. If you think you need more than 30 minutes, go for the model with more recording time.
Powerfull Little Device!.......2003-08-02
I've had this recorder for almost a year. I've dropped it, gotten it wet, and it's still ticking! Never had any problems with it; it's been a huge asset in my record keeping. I HIGHLY recommend this recorder!!!
