Canon EOS 350D Digital RebelCanon makes an impressive update to their wildly popular "Digital Rebel."!<<Overview and Highlights :(Previous) | (Next): User Report>> Page 2:Comparison TableReview First Posted: 3/23/2003, updated: 6/4/2005 |
Comparison Table
Many of our readers will be familiar with Canon's earlier Digital Rebel and the very popular EOS 20D and Nikon D70 (now the D70s). The table below highlights similarities and differences between these four hot cameras, as well as a range of competing models from other manufacturers. The colored highlights in the Rebel XT's column call attention to differences between the XT and the original Digital Rebel. (Green means the XT surpasses the original model, pink means it's less capable, and yellow means it's different, not necessarily better or worse.(
