The 6-megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel came on the scene in late 2003 and instantly established a new category of "affordable digital SLR cameras" with a price of under $1000, including a zoom lens. It was succeeded in 2005 by the 8-megapixel Digital Rebel XT, which offered improved image quality, shooting performance and flexibility in addition to its higher resolution.
