PMA 2005 - Canon EOS 350D

PMA 2005 - Canon EOS 350D

2월 17일, 캐논은 PMA 2005에서 EOS 300D의 후속인 EOS 350D를 발표했습니다. 그동안 무성한 소문속에서 발표가 확실시됐던 EOS 350D의 출현으로, 저가형 DSLR 시장은 또다시 불꽃튀는 경쟁이 벌어질 듯 합니다.

국내에서의 출시시기는 3월하순이 될것으로 보이며, 가격은 EFs 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 II 렌즈를 포함 120만원대입니다. 바디만으로는 100만원 초반대에 판매될것으로 보입니다. 300D의 초기출시가격과 비교해볼때 상당히 저렴한 가격이며, 최근 저가형 DSLR시장의 가격경쟁에서 뒤지지 않으려는 캐논측의 마케팅으로 보입니다.

EOS 300D가 EOS10D의 저가형 기종이었듯, EOS 350D 역시 EOS 20D의 저가형 기종입니다. 800만화소의 1.6배 크롭 이미지센서를 채용해 고화질의 이미지를 출력할 수 있습니다. 또, 0.2초의 기동속도, DIGIC-II 이미지센서, E-TTL II 플래쉬 시스템, jpeg+raw 동시 기록, USB 2.0 interface, 흑백촬영모드, 미러락업, 한글메뉴 등 EOS 20D에서 이미 호평을 받았던 기능들을 채용하였습니다.

300D보다 나아진, 주목할 만한 장점을 살펴보겠습니다. 우선 DIGIC-II 이미지센서를 채용해 고ISO 촬영에서 저노이즈를 실현했습니다. 동급카메라중 노이즈가 가장 적을것으로 예상됩니다. 다음으로는 빨라진 속도입니다. 연사는 20D와의 차별을 위해 보통의 수준인 '3fps의 연사속도/최대 14장 연속촬영'이지만 카메라자체의 기동속도가 0.2초로 카메라를 켜자마자 촬영할 수 있습니다.

EOS 300D는 카메라의 판매를 위해, 기술적으로 실현 가능하지만 사용할 수 없던 기능들이 있어 사용자들의 원성을 샀었습니다. 이에 사용자들은 해킹펌웨어를 사용해 이 기능들을 사용했었는데, 이번 350D에서는 이런 기능들이 많은 부분 가능해졌습니다.

EOS 350D는 기존 EOS 300D와 비슷한 컨셉의 디자인을 취하고 있지만 그 크기와 무게는 상당히 줄어들었습니다.
최근 저가형 DSLR들의 크기가 작아져 휴대성이 좋아지는 추세를 따른 것으로 보입니다. 작고 간편하여 가정용부터 아마추어용까지 다양한 소비자층을 대상으로 하고 있습니다. 바디는 300D와 같은 강화 플라스틱으로 이루어졌으며, 300D와 다른 무광택 도장으로 고급스러움을 더했습니다. 색상은 블랙과 실버로 출시되며, 두 색상사이에 가격차가 있는지는 아직 미정입니다.

그 밖의 특이사항으로는 배터리가 있습니다. 기존 캐논의 보급형 DSLR 라인업이 BP-511계열의 리튬이온 배터리를 사용해온것에 비해 350D는 NB-2LH를 사용합니다. 이는 캐논의 보급형 수동디카인 S시리즈에 사용되는 배터리로서, BP-511계열보다 더 작습니다. 바디의 크기의 축소와 무게를 줄이기 위함이 이유인 듯 합니다. 하지만 저전력설계로 600여장의 촬영이 가능합니다.

EOS 350D는 한국을 포함한 유라시아에서 사용되는 모델명이며, 일본에서는 EOS KISS N, 미주지역에서는 EOS REBEL XT라는 모델명으로 출시됩니다.

또, 기존 300D의 번들렌즈였던 EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 렌즈가 업그레이드 된 EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II 로 발매되며, 두 렌즈의 정확한 차이점은 아직 발표되지 않았습니다. 이와 함께 EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM 렌즈도 발매됩니다. 35mm 환산 96mm의 마크로 렌즈로, 1:1 등배접사와 20cm의 최소초점거리를 갖고 있어 큰 인기를 모을것으로 예상됩니다.

PMA 2005 | Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Camera Introduction
	Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT CMOS sensor explanation : The Canon EOS Rebel XT features a new CMOS sensor designed and built in-house by Canon. A number of innovations proven in Canon's professional series D-SLR cameras help to ensure the sensor’s image quality is second to none. Canon's history with sensor development stretches back to 1987, when it began using the BASIS sensor for its auto focus systems. Continued R&D in the field led to the 2000 release of the Canon EOS D30: the first commercialisation of CMOS for full colour image capture. Encouraged by the camera's success, Canon continued to refine and develop the renegade technology. Having overtaken a number of other sensor technologies along the way, CMOS now forms the basis for the world's most popular digital SLR cameras. Before Canon could launch its latest range of digital EOS cameras, the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll, EOS-1D Mark ll, EOS 20D and Canon Rebel XT, its engineers had to solve the big problem with small pixels, how to deal with the noise that smaller pixels would inevitably create.
					Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT CMOS Sensor
	The challenge: Canon's latest EOS range features four entirely new imaging sensors, each with a greater number of pixels than its respective predecessor. To squeeze more pixels onto the same sized sensor, the company's engineers had to make the pixels smaller. The problem with smaller pixels is that they are less sensitive to light and greater signal amplification is required to make it readable. This amplification can generate unwanted noise. To control this noise, Canon's engineers came up with an entirely new imaging sensor for each camera. The APS-C sized sensor on the original Canon EOS Rebel already possessed 6.3 million effective pixels. Increasing the pixel count to 8.0 million without increasing the sensor size required a reduction in pixel size that would normally result in an increase in unwanted noise. To combat the problem, Canon devised and developed a new generation of on-pixel, noise-control amplifiers which were first proven on the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll, EOS‑1D Mark ll and Canon 20D. These new amps are designed not only to drain each pixel of residual charge before exposure, but also to reduce the signal noise that occurs when working with long exposures and exposures in low-light conditions.
		Improving efficiency: The pixels housing each sensitive photodiode had to become smaller in the new high-density sensors, so Canon’s team had no option but to look at making them work more efficiently. Using a process of miniaturisation and electronic-component efficiency, the company's sensor designers reduced both the size of the parts that make up each pixel, as well as their number. By increasing the sensitive area of the photodiode, the team were left with a sensor that was much more sensitive to light, and thus less in need of signal amplification. So even though each pixel site is smaller, its receptive area is proportionally larger than before.
		Sensitivity: Long exposures are read as they happen, with a dark frame subtraction method used to cancel native interference for true colours and smooth tonal rendering. Fixed-pattern and random noise reduction systems have also been improved to produce the cleanest images possible. However, Canon has not restricted its users to short exposures or sensor ISO values of moderate speeds. The new cameras allow fixed time exposures of 30 seconds, as well as an unlimited bulb mode that lets users keep the shutter open for as long as required. Chip sensitivity, too, can be expanded to the equivalent of ISO 1600 on the Canon Rebel XT Digital and ISO 3200 on Canon's EOS-1 series DLSRs. Micro lenses: While the micro technologies described above play an enormous part in the image quality these new sensors provide, perhaps the greatest achievement in the conditioning of these highly populated chips is the efficiency with which they use ambient illumination. For smaller pixels to react more effectively to light, they need either more light or the light that exists to be channelled to them in a more direct manner. Canon's engineers have developed a new type of micro lens for each pixel. Larger and more effective than models used in the past, these lenses have a greater wide-angle element, so are better equipped to gather light and direct it straight to the sensitive part of the pixel. As the lenses have less space between them, they are better equipped to gather more light, and allow less light to fall between receptive areas and be wasted. In effect, these lenses can gather more light in the same way a wide-aperture camera lens can. A larger front element catches a greater section of the information passed in its direction, while the domed aspect of the lenses draws and focuses the light where it matters most. As a result, the micro lenses pick up more of the light channelled to the sensor by the camera’s lens, using it to illuminate and inform the pixels of the sensor. Improving the effective brightness of the received image means the sensor is able to pass information to the processing engine with a lower degree of amplification than would otherwise be the case. In the detail: Paradoxically, higher resolutions lead almost inevitably to the confusion of fine detail and edge colour, because the sensor’s resolution exceeds the boundaries where Bayer four-pixel layouts can deal efficiently with the level of detail the sensor can record. Without sensor designer intervention, this results in a distracting misrepresentation of extremely fine detail, 'moiré', as well as a colour fringing on edges where subjects of one colour meet the background colour of another, 'false colour'. Canon's solution is to fit its cameras with a three-layer, low-pass filter that combats moiré and false colour noise patterns by ordering the incoming light to suit exactly its sampling abilities. The first part of this new filter is an infrared cut-off filter that stops the sensor recording wavelengths beyond the normal visible spectrum. This controls the sensor’s response to reds in general, ensuring they don't 'overexpose' and burn out. The next layers are a sandwich of a polarizer and single crystal substrates that combine to provide an accurate vertical and horizontal light wave layout to fit the characteristics of the sensor's resolution. This filter organises the light that passes through the lens into a form the high-resolution sensor can take most advantage from, creating the potential for sharper, more detailed images, while at the same time providing clear and defined subject edges that are not influenced by surrounding colours.
		Micro becomes macro: If you were to study any of these cameras' sensors, you would almost certainly be unable to perceive any visible change. You would not be able to see the new micro lenses, the larger photodiodes, the smaller circuitry or the construction of the low-pass filter. To see the difference, you have to compare the images these sensors create with those captured by their immediate predecessors. Canon's principle aim with the introduction of these new cameras is to increase the amount of information saved to file. The purity of this information depends on the balance of signal and noise, and with these new sensors, Canon has broken the relationship between pitch and interference. This was achieved by developing methods to control exactly how the pixels react to light, and to determine how those pixels receive their light in the first place. The gap widens: The pixel race will continue to drive increases in resolution. As this happens, the importance of noise avoidance technologies also increases to ensure that increases in resolution improve, rather than degrade, image quality. Manufacturers relying solely on software and firmware to deal with the greater noise generated by smaller pixels in higher density sensors will struggle, while brands purchasing off-the-shelf sensors have little say in how those components are designed. As a CMOS designer and manufacturer, Canon is uniquely placed to tailor pixel size, photosite design and sensor componentry to suit each new camera design and respective target market. The inherent barriers to entry of such a position means Canon's leadership in D-SLR is likely to continue for several years. "As a photography and imaging company, it has always been Canon's intention to control the entire light path, from lens through to printed image," says Mr Fukuchi, Senior General Manager, Camera Products Management Division, Canon Consumer Imaging Europe "Taming the power of CMOS has been critical to our success".
		Canon low pass filter explanation : Certain fabrics can have a very tight, regular weave. On close inspection, this can appear as a series of alternating stripes separated by dark shadows between the weave. When the pitch of this weave is close to a digital camera sensor's pixel pitch, light from the subject will only activate selected rows of pixels. The sensor will then produce false colours, which can change with rotation or lateral movement of the camera. These false colours appear as waves on the image, known as moiré. Subjects such as distant geometric patterns are also susceptible to producing this effect. To combat the effects of moiré, camera manufacturers sometimes utilize a low pass filter to blur incoming light. But a single filter can only blur a pattern in one direction, which leaves many false colours uncorrected. Moreover, this approach effectively lowers the camera's resolution. Canon's approach is to use a unique three-layer Canon low pass filter. The first filter polarises and separates incoming light vertically by precisely one pixel distance. In order to then split the light horizontally, the light must first have the polarisation removed. This is achieved with a second filter known as a phase plate. The third low pass filter polarises the light a second time, only this time separating it horizontally. Incoming light is therefore spread by precisely one pixel in both the vertical and horizontal directions. This deliberate blurring has the effect of removing moiré. Unless it is compensated for, however, it also has the effect of reducing image sharpness. Performing accurate compensation, however, requires an exceptionally complex series of processor hungry algorithms, one of the reasons why competing manufacturers have difficulty tackling the moiré phenomenon. One of the Canon's great advantages is the processing 'head room' of its DIGIC II processor, which is used to perform the most sophisticated of correction routines and ensure the benefit of sensor resolution without any trade off in camera performance. The result is high resolution images with outstanding colour reproduction accuracy.
		Canon DIGIC II Image processor introduction : The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT features Canon's DIGIC II processor, proven in Canon's pro-series Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II cameras. DIGIC II delivers superb image quality, responsive camera performance, faster AF, faster continuous shooting and extended battery life. "There are three critical stages affecting digital image quality," says Brian Worley, Camera Product Manager, Canon Europe Ltd. "First the lens determines how the image is transmitted on to the sensor. Then the sensor determines how accurately the light is converted to electrical signals. The third and final stage is the image processor, which dictates how well the signals from the sensor are translated into a viewable image. You need to get each step right to make a good image. Get one of them wrong, and you ruin everything." With over 60 years of precision lens manufacture behind it, Canon has little to prove in the area of optics. With its own award winning CMOS technology Canon is also well in control of the sensor. With its dedicated DIGIC and now DIGIC II (Digital Image Core) image processors, Canon has revolutionised the way digital images are handled. Ultra high speed: With the introduction of Canon DIGIC II, Canon brings a solution for doing the high speed calculations necessary in order to providing exceptionally accurate colour reproduction in real time. "DIGIC II operates many times faster than other image processors. It can handle more data in a shorter period to allow more complex calculations to take place," says Worley. "DIGIC II runs not on software as others do but as a piece of hardware built into the camera's circuitry. As such it is able to carry out the duties of a number of separate processing units, effectively replacing them to save both time and space." Most digital camera manufacturers face a trade-off between camera responsiveness and the amount of processing each image can receive. For high quality images, data received from the recording sensor needs a lot of attention. But working on that data to the extent required in order to optimise image quality takes time, and can hold-up the operation of the camera. To alleviate this problem, many cameras compromise image quality by using simplified processing methods, leaving off or 'dumbing down' certain processing procedures. Large and expensive buffer memories are required to store data during busy periods, to be processed later when the camera is at rest. This creates its own problems when buffer memories become full, causing cameras to freeze until some of the backlog is cleared. "With DIGIC II, Canon has created a processor so fast it can read, process, compress and write image data back to the buffer between exposures," explains Worley. "This allows continuous shooting with the Canon Rebel XT digital camera without the camera becoming clogged with data. Moreover, each image is subject to the complex and individual processing required in order to deliver superb image quality." The image quality delivered by DIGIC II is so good that leading photographic agency Getty Images chooses to shoot JPEG rather than RAW images.
		White Balance: Apart from the speed with which it clears data from the camera's buffer, the benefits of DIGIC II are most obvious in the areas of white balance (WB) adjustment. The camera uses DIGIC II's additional processing power to build an intelligent understanding of the scene to be captured by taking into account factors such as orientation and subject position. This allows more accurate calculation of auto white balance. "While other manufacturers use systems that divide the scene into hundreds to segments for white balance assessment, the DIGIC II processor in the Canon Rebel XT digital camera has the time and power to look at tens of thousands of segments to build a complex plan of how the scene is constructed. This allows the camera to distinguish between more than one type of light source in a single scene and to treat each area individually," explains Worley. Another feature of AWB under DIGIC II is what Canon calls 'Feeling Based White Balance'. This is a system that aims to correct casts without destroying the atmosphere of the scene, allowing it to be reproduced in a realistic way. AWB systems that adjust with technical correctness can remove the warmth of a romantic meal for two, the orange/red light of the sun as it dips below the horizon. "This Feeling Based White Balance will reproduce colours closer to the way we see them in different situations, rather than striving to always create a textbook-accurate but sterile image," says Worley. More stamina: One of the benefits that has come about with the introduction of DIGIC II is extended battery life. "As the processor is only operating for very short periods, it doesn’t use much power," explains Worley. "DIGIC II is part of the reason that the Canon EOS Rebel XT is capable of taking 600 shots on just a single battery charge." Investment in R & D: "The development of DIGIC and DIGIC II has been made possible by the vast amount of resources Canon has allocated to research and development over many years, and the company's position as a manufacturer of its own electronic components and circuitry," Worley explains. "By increasing its experience in the manufacture of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) for its digital camera production line, Canon has ensured that every major piece of hardware required for the construction of the Canon EOS Rebel XT is provided in-house. This puts Canon in a special position in the digital SLR market, a company that produces every significant element that goes into its cameras, from the lenses to the electronics and internal hardware, and in the case of the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, the actual sensor itself."

PMA 2005 | Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Camera Introduction
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT digital camera introduction : Canon upgrades the Canon EOS Rebel with the 8.0 Megapixel, 3 frame per second Canon EOS Rebel XT. The launch completes a refresh of the entire digital EOS line-up and confirm‎s Canon's commitment to digital SLR research and development. "The Canon EOS Rebel kick started the digital SLR revolution, becoming the best selling model of all time," "The new Canon Rebel XT will now take over, playing a major role in Canon's digital SLR strategy," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "Canon predicts the D-SLR market will double in size by the end of 2006." The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT features a newly developed, second generation, extremely low noise APS-C size 8.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the fourth new CMOS sensor from Canon in just twelve months. It is powered by the same DIGIC II image processor found in Canon's professional series D-SLR cameras, and features 3 frame per second, 14 frame burst operation, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface, simultaneous RAW and Large JPEG writing and 0.2 second start up time. The Canon Rebel XT is more than 10% lighter and 25% smaller by volume than the Canon Rebel. It is available in both black and silver finishes. "The Canon EOS Rebel XT combines ease of use with many of the same compelling technologies found in Canon's professional series EOS cameras, chosen by more than 70% of pro photographers at the 2004 Athens Olympics," observed Jensen. "For the first time, every camera in the EOS digital range now incorporates a Canon original CMOS sensor and Canon DIGIC II processor."
In terms of speed and resolution, Canon now has the leading performance camera in every D-SLR segment; all launched since January last year: EOS-1Ds Mark II - 16.7 Megapixel full frame 35mm sensor, 4 fps EOS-1D Mark II - 8.2 Megapixel APS-H size sensor, 8.5 fps EOS 20D - 8.2 Megapixel APS-C size sensor, 5.0 fps EOS Digital Rebel XT - 8.0 Megapixel APS-C size sensor, 3.0 fps Target user: With plain language menus, intuitive controls and default settings chosen to reflect general every-day use, the Canon EOS 350D is designed to appeal to digital still compact users looking to expand their creativity, and film SLR users who have been waiting for 8.0 Megapixel performance at this price point. It will be available as body only and in kit form with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens.
Improvements over the Canon Rebel: The new CMOS sensor and high performance DIGIC II performance lead a number of improvements to the Canon EOS Rebel. Other advances include E-TTL II distance-linked flash metering for easy, consistent and precise flash exposures. Users can now select between three focus modes: One-Shot AF, AI SERVO and AI Focus. Writing to memory card is 3.5 times faster and the interface is upgraded to USB 2.0 Hi-Speed for fast image downloads. Mirror lock-up and 2nd curtain flash have also been added. The Canon EOS Rebel XT now features the same Monochrome mode found on the EOS 20D, allowing users to shoot in black & white with a range of filter effects. White Balance correction of both blue/amber and magenta/green bias is available to ±9 levels and WB bracketing is extended to include the magenta/green bias direction. Digital Photo Professional RAW image processing software, the same professional workflow software supplied with Canon's ??8,000 EOS-1Ds Mark II, has been added to the standard software.

	Low noise sensor and precision optics: The CMOS sensor features redesigned pixel sites, with improved capacity to isolate any residual charge remaining after the pixel site is reset. This is then subtracted from the exposure to suppress any random pattern noise. Improvements in image quality are particularly noticeable with long shutter exposures and high ISO settings, and result in more even rendering of uniform surfaces, such as blue skies. The low noise of the second generation CMOS sensor delivers clean images from ISO 100 through to ISO 1600. The APS-C size sensor gives the camera a 1.6x magnification compared to 35mm cameras. The camera's EF-S lens mount works seamlessly with all of the more than 60 Canon EF lenses, the world's largest interchangeable lens system. It is also compatible with the four EF–S lenses developed for Canon’s APS-C format digital SLRs (the Canon EOS 20D and Canon Rebel) including the new EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens.
	Faster processing for better results: Underpinning the camera's performance is Canon's high-speed DIGIC II (Digital Image Core) processor, as found in Canon's professional series Canon EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II. DIGIC II is Canon's second generation image processor, purpose built to handle the complex algorithms required for maximum image quality; optimally processing functions such as white balance and colour rendition. By integrating key functions onto a single processor, DIGIC II delivers superb quality images without trading camera responsiveness. "Digital image quality is dependent on three factors: lens quality, sensor performance and image processing capability," said Jensen. "Canon is a developer, designer and manufacturer of the key components in each of the three critical technology areas: lens, CMOS sensor and image processor. It is the leadership position in each of these core technology areas that gives the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Digital its edge." Better focusing: Focus can now be selected between One Shot AF (for single shot focusing), AI SERVO AF (for predictive tracking of subjects approaching at up to 50kph up to 10m away) and AI Focus AF (switches automatically between One Shot AF and AI SERVO AF when subject movement is detected). This improves on the Canon EOS Rebel by providing direct selection of the three focusing modes. For more flexible focusing, AF point selection is now possible with the cross keys as well as from the main dial. Full time manual override is available with all EF Auto Focus lenses, while a new Precision Matte screen gives a brighter viewfinder image for easier, more accurate manual focusing.

	Improved flash: The pop-up flash of the Canon EOS Rebel XT has a guide number of 13 and sits even higher (95.5mm) above the optical axis than on the Canon Rebel, helping suppress red eye effect and reducing the possibility of lens barrel shadow. Angle of coverage extends to support wide lenses to 17mm. Flash compensation of ±2 stops in 1/3- or 1/2- stop increments is available with both the built-in flash and with all EX-series Speedlite flash units. Print and review: Lab-quality prints can be produced without the need for a computer by directly connecting the Canon Rebel XT Digital to any PictBridge compatible photo printer via the supplied USB cable. The new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection improves computer upload times, and is also compatible with USB 1.1 and Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) for driverless transfers. The 1.8" LCD is used to select and review photographs to be printed and set print variables. During image playback, it is possible to jump forward or back by date, by single image, or by groups of 10 or 100 images. Review display modes have been extended, making it possible to review an image without overlaying any information. High-end exposure control: The EOS Rebel XT Digital retains the accurate 35 zone TTL metering of the EOS Rebel. The three metering modes (eval‎uative, partial, and centre weighted average) are now manually selectable and both exposure compensation and exposure bracketing are available in 1/2 stop increments as well as the 1/3 stop increments of the Canon EOS Rebel. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Digital retains the popular Programmed Image Control modes of the Canon Rebel, such as Night Portrait, Sports, Close-up, Landscape, Portrait and Flash OFF.

	Shooting adaptability: Shutter speeds extend from 30 sec to 1/4000 sec, plus bulb and high-speed x-sync at 1/200s. The memory card slot supports 2GB and higher CompactFlash Type I and II cards. Optional wired or infra red wireless remote control is available. Seven preset White Balance settings (such as cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, etc.) plus custom White Balance and ±3 stop White Balance Bracketing (WB-BKT) ensure that image colours match the photographer’s recollection of the scene.
						Comprehensive accessories, software and online access: The Canon EOS Rebel XT digital camera comes complete with Canon NB -2LH battery pack, charger, USB cable, video cable, wide embroidered anti-slip neck strap. A new optional Canon Battery Grip BG-E3 gives the camera a solid and balanced pro feel, particularly when the camera is fitted with longer lenses, and includes a shutter release and main dial for vertical/portrait shooting. It comes complete with one magazine that takes 6 AA batteries and another that takes two Canon NB -2LH Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. Purchase of the Canon EOS Rebel XT Digital entitles photographers to membership of the Canon iMAGE GATEWAY with a 100 MB online photo album for image uploads.
	As well as Digital Photo Professional RAW image workflow software, ZoomBrowser EX 5.1 (Windows) and ImageBrowser 5.1 (Mac) are included for handling image file transfers between camera and computer, managing and printing files, and preview and conversion of RAW images. PhotoStitch is included for seamless merging of panorama shots. Arcsoft PhotoStudio software allows artistic and creative manipulation of images. We are eager to learn more about this new Canon DSLR and are waiting for the first Canon EOS Rebel XT digital camera review to appear on the Internet.
