Canon 350D Guide Posted on December 27, 2005 I'd like to begin this Canon 350D guide with a disclaimer: I have been a long-time fan of Canon cameras. Since I started this web site I have had the opportunity to use several non-Canon models, and I have been impressed with the results. But Canon cameras are what I am most familiar with, and I was excited to try out the successor to one of the most popular digital SLR cameras: the Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel. Before I get too far along, let's talk about names. The Canon 350D is also called the Digital Rebel XT and the Kiss N Digital. For the purpose of this review, I will refer to it as the 350D. With the naming issue out of the way, let's get started with the Canon 350D guide!
The Canon EOS 350D is for anyone who wants a small portable camera that can produce crystal-clear 12x18 prints. The camera is fast enough for the casual action photographer, but it doesn't measure up to the or in terms of speed. Since it produces very low noise at all ISO settings, this is a great camera for photographers who don't like to use a flash. Key Features • 8.0 megapixel sensor • Compatible with all Canon EOS lenses • 2.8 photos per second • 7-area autofocus system • ISO setting from 100 to 1600 • Maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second • 1.6 times crop factor • 1.8' LCD • Stores photos on Compact Flash Oddities The most significant issue I had with the Canon EOS 350D is its size, which is ironic since this is also a selling point for the camera. The EOS 350D is exceptionally compact, and Canon has eliminated some of the controls available on their other digital SLRs. I found that this not only makes the camera hard to operate, but also a little difficult to hold.

Since the grip is so small, I was unable to get a good handle on the camera, and had to hold it tight for fear of dumping it on the ground. My wife, on the other hand, had no problem at all and really enjoyed the fact that the camera is so small and light. She is used to using the, and the 350D is quite tiny in comparison.
Here's the best advice that I can give to you if you're considering buying the Canon Rebel XT: hold one first. The Canon 350D Rebel XT (left) next to the Canon EOS 20D (right) Go to any local camera store with floor models, pick the camera up and hold it in your hand for awhile. Many of you will find that the camera fits just fine and will be rewarded by having a digital SLR that doesn't weigh a ton and require a duffel bag to carry around. Others will find that the camera is simply too small to get a good grip, in which case a larger camera will suit you better. The Hidden Cost When people ask me why they shouldn't get a camera with a huge number of megapixels, I tell them about the hidden costs of owning a camera like this. There are actually three of them: • You need larger memory cards • You need a larger computer hard drive • You need a more powerful computer First, you won't get the same mileage out of your 256 Megabyte memory card with an 8 megapixel camera as you with with a 6 megapixel camera. You will only be able to store about 72 photos instead of 81.
Granted, this first issue won't break your bank. A 512 Megabyte card (that stores about 145 photos), only costs about $25 more than a 256. The second issue is a problem for photographers who take a lot of shots (like me). Each 8 Megapixel file eats up about 2.5 Megabytes of drive space on you computer's hard drive. If you take 1,000 photos you'll use 2,500 Megabytes or about 2.5 Gigabytes of room.
It's much easier than you think to quickly fill up a 20GB hard drive with 8 megapixel photos, especially if you are competing with a son or daughter who is filling up the hard drive with music downloads.

The last issue is probably the most limiting: you really do need a powerful computer if you want to look at and edit your 8 megapixel photos. A computer with a slow processor, small hard drive and 256MB of RAM (random access memory) isn't going to cut it.
Here's an easier way to think about it: if your computer is 3 or more years old, you're probably going to need a new one to handle the photos you take. How This SLR is Different. First, the Canon EOS 350D is one of the most popular cameras in the entry-level digital SLR market. The camera that came before it, the 300D Digital Rebel, generated a lot of buzz at the time since it was the first digital SLR that you could buy for less than $1,000. So how do you follow up a camera like that?
More Megapixels Remember, you only need more megapixels when you want to print photos at large sizes. The Canon EOS 350D and the Olympus E-500 are the only two 8 megapixel digital SLRs under $1,000. This means that the photos you take with the EOS 350D will print beautifully up to 12x18 inches (and even larger than that if you're not exceptionally picky about image quality). Want to create stunning poster-size prints to hang in your home? This is the camera for you. Small Size I've already talked a lot about the small size and light weight of the Canon EOS 350D, so here's the comparison table that will help prove the point.
