Canon EOS 400D

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers an unbeatable combination of performance, ease-of-use and value. It has a newly designed 10.1 MP Canon CMOS sensor plus a host of new features including a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, the exclusive EOS Integrated Cleaning System featuring a Self Cleaning Sensor and Canon's Picture Style technology, all in a lightweight, ergonomic body. The Digital Rebel XTi is proof positive that Canon continues to lead the way with their phenomenal digital SLRs.

Canon today took the wraps off their new entry-level digital SLR, the Digital Rebel XTi (North America) / EOS-400D (elsewhere). Unfortunately I don't have many details yet, since Canon apparently doesn't trust websites like this one enough to provide specs, press releases, or product photos in advance. Ironically, it was Canon themselves that leaked the information (again!) that you may have seen floating around the web in the last few days.
Digital Rebel XTi / EOS-400D
• 10.1 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor
• New dust reduction system: 1) ultrasonic waves blast dust off the low pass sensor; 2) low pass filter split into two parts to keep the dust further from the sensor; 3) front of low pass filter now has anti-static charge
• Users can also create a "dust map" (Canon calls it Dust Delete Data) for dust that just won't go away; this information is saved in metadata, and the bundled Digital Photography Professional 2.2 software can remove it from your photos
• 2.5" LCD display (with 230k pixels)
• LCD info display has gone away; shooting info now shown on LCD; when you put your eye to the viewfinder, the screen goes dark automatically
• Now has 9-point autofocus versus 7-point on the Rebel XT
• Improved burst mode compared to Rebel XT: now takes up to 10 RAW or 27 JPEG images (still at 3 fps)
• Inherits the Picture Styles menu and RGB histogram from the EOS-5D and EOS-30D
• Same body design (and colors) as Rebel XT -- very hard to tell them apart; compatible with all Rebel XT accessories, including the battery grip
• Still uses DIGIC II processor and CompactFlash
• USB 2.0 High Speed supported
• Ships mid-September for $799 body only or $899 with the same 18-55 EF-S lens that comes with the Rebel XT
