The Canon Rebel digital camera combines high performance professional features into a package that is easy enough to be a point and shoot digital camera.

Although there is usually not much in terms of picture quality between consumer digital cameras, more professional cameras like the Canon Rebel digital camera offer extra features and more control needed to customize photos beyond the usual point and shoot.

Here are some of the main features of the Canon Rebel digital camera:

  • 12.2 megapixel
  • 4272 x 2848 maximum resolution
  • SD/SDHC storage
  • JPEG or RAW pictures modes
  • Manual, one-shot AF, Al Focus AF and Al Servo AF focus modes
  • 3.0 inch viewscreen

The slightly higher specced features on the Canon Rebel digital camera include a 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor for pictures with more than twice the resolution of run of the mill point and shoot digital cameras.

The Canon Rebel digital camera offers manual focus as well as three auto-focus modes to choose from. This variety allows custom settings for when you want to take the best picture possible or adjust the settings as well as the convenience of auto-focus when you just need to take some family shots.

The Canon Rebel digital camera’s set of automatic features can compensate for poor lighting and enhance pictures to make them look better. There are also standard settings for different light conditions.

Although this is not a cheap digital camera, the Canon Rebel digital camera does offer pretty much all the features necessary for a professional digital camera. Overall a good balance between getting professional features and tried and tested point and shoot.
