Canon’s EOS
®
Digital Rebel XT camera combines outstanding performance and creative
control in a small and elegant package for an estimated retail price of under $1,000*
complete with zoom lens. This makes the XT an exceptional value in digital single lens
reflex cameras. With its DIGIC
®
II image processor and Canon-designed and manufac-
tured CMOS sensor, the EOS Digital Rebel XT camera has very high 8.0 megapixel
resolution, low noise, exquisite color, near-instantaneous startup, speedy handling,
enhanced flash control, an extensive range of settings, full compatibility with EOS
system accessories, reduced power consumption and an ease of use which makes it
truly remarkable.
The Digital Rebel XT camera’s closest relatives in the Canon DSLR lineup are the original
EOS Digital Rebel and the EOS 20D models. The original Digital Rebel is the
breakthrough camera that established the under $1,000 category for DSLR (Digital
Single Lens Reflex) cameras when it was introduced in 2003. It has 6.3 megapixel
resolution, wonderful picture quality and true ease of use. The Digital Rebel remains in
the Canon lineup at a new, lower price point (estimated retail price $799* with EF-S
18-55mm zoom lens). The EOS 20D body has an estimated retail price of $1599* (with
the EF-S 18-55mm lens) and is faster than the Digital Rebel XT (5 frames per second vs.
3), shoots longer bursts (23 Large/Fine JPEGs vs. 14), focuses faster, has more extensive
Custom Functions (18 vs. 9) and magnesium alloy body covers (vs. polycarbonate for
the Digital Rebel XT). The 20D has 8.2 megapixels to the 8.0 of the XT; the sensors have
the same size pixels. The 20D’s aficionados include advanced amateurs, prosumers and
professionals who need to keep an eye on equipment expenses. Of course, all these
cameras have full compatibility with the vast system of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, as
well as many other EOS system accessories.

The EOS Digital Rebel, EOS Digital Rebel XT and EOS 20D are members of a family that
also includes the 8.2 megapixel, 8.5 frames per second EOS-1D Mark II and the 16.7
megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark II. These cameras, and an extensive line of consumer-focused
digital point-andshoots, have propelled Canon to the number one position in the digital
camera business according to the NPD Group, a leading provider of retail market
information. In 2004, Canon had 20.4 percent of total digital camera sales, based on
