Canon EOS 450D / EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera with 18-55mm lens Specifics and Information

Product MPN
	MPN	2757B003
Key Features
	Features	Image Stabilization
	LCD Screen Size	3 in.
	Camera Type	SLR/Professional
There are several different types of digital cameras. Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.
	Resolution	12.4 Megapixel
The sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.
	Digital Zoom	Without Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.
	Weight	1.05 lb.
Image Quality
	Image Resolutions	4272 x 2848, 3088 x 2056, 2256 x 1504

	Camera Resolution	12.4 Megapixel
Resolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.
	Image Sensor Type	CMOS
A CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.
Lens
	Interchangeable Lens	Interchangeable Lenses
Higher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.
Exposure Control
	Shutter Speed	1/4000 - 30 sec
The shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.
	White Balance	Auto, Manual, Daylight / Sunny (Preset), Cloudy (Preset), Fluorescent (Preset), Tungsten (Preset), Shade (Preset), Flash (Preset)
The white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.
	Frames Per Second	3.5 Frames
Flash
	ISO Speeds	Auto, 100, 800, 1600
ISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.
	Flash Type	Built-In & External
	Flash Functions	Flash Off, Auto Flash
If the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.
Storage
	Compression Type	JPEG, Raw Image, DPOF 1.1
Many cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.
	Compression Modes	Fine, Normal, Uncompressed
	Memory Type	SD Card, SDHC Card
There are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.
Included Features

Viewfinder / Display
	LCD Screen Resolution	230,000 pixels
	Viewfinder	Optical
A viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene. Some cameras have small screens on the back that act as viewfinders. Other cameras have small glass areas through which you can look out of the front of the camera.
