The Canon XTI has a well hyped 10.1 mega pixel sensor, which enables the photographer to make large prints [16 x 20”] even after a reasonable amount of cropping. The camera also boasts of a certain dust elimination accessory that shakes the dust off the sensor’s cover glass with the help of an ultra sonic vibration, the camera can be set to use this feature automatically as and when the camera is switched on and off. There is also this feature called dust delete data which allows the user to eliminate the dust recorded on the sensor from every shot with help of the DDP software. The only problem with the dust delete data is that there is usually no dust to eliminate after all dust has already been dust off by the ultra sonic vibrations. The Canon XTI runs on Lithium-ion batteries, which needs to be charged after every active day of photography and can take 300-500 shots per charging. A battery charger is also included in the kit which can be directly plugged into a wall socket.
On the whole the Canon XTI is an easy to use camera. The dust eliminating option would come in handy for out door photography in countries like India. This camera would attract consumers with a fixed budget and can also prove to be a reliable back up for the professional photographers.
