One of the more successful entrants of late is the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, a.k.a. the EOS 350D. This APS-C size sensor digital SLR, with a 1.6 lens conversion factor, sports an effective 8-megapixel CMOS sensor. The image formats are JPEG and raw, with raw being a 12-bit file. Generally priced at around $1000 with kit lens, the XT is light in weight (at 17 oz without lens) and fairly small (5x3.7x2.5”), at least when compared with the premium, pro-oriented models. It is compact enough to vie for attention when placed next to 12x zoom digicams, especially if you consider lens interchangeability as one criterion when considering purchase..
