OverviewCanon EOS XTi

The Canon EOS XTi is an APS-C DSLR built around a 10.1MP sensor paired with a DIGIC II image processor, making it a capable entry-level option for photographers stepping into interchangeable lens shooting. The camera uses the Canon EF lens mount, opening access to Canon's broad range of EF-compatible glass. Autofocus is handled by a 9-point phase detection system, offering reliable subject acquisition in a variety of shooting situations.

The body itself is constructed from polycarbonate and measures 126.5 x 94.2 x 65 mm, weighing in at 556g — compact enough for all-day shooting without significant fatigue. The 2.5-inch LCD display resolves at 230,000 dots, providing a clear view for image review and menu navigation. Burst shooting tops out at 3 frames per second, suitable for moderate action and everyday photography.

Storage is handled via CompactFlash cards. The camera includes a built-in flash and a Canon Standard TTL hot shoe for external flash units. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 1600 natively.

The NB-2LH battery is rated for up to 500 shots per charge. There is no weather sealing, no in-body image stabilization, and no wireless connectivity — factors worth weighing depending on your intended shooting environment. Six picture styles including Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome are available in-camera.
