Since it used all of the lenses available for the 35mm Rebel, the EOS Digital Rebel had a wide range of lenses available for it even before it was launched onto the market. Its ease of use and high image quality made it popular for a wide range of photographers, from the pros to those wanting to take nothing more than high-quality family portraits. The 8MB resolution on the EOS Digital Rebel brought it’s photo quality neck-and-neck with the best 35mm negatives, allowing for large print sizes without sacrificing any image clarity. Like most digital cameras, the EOS Digital Rebel still has a few issues with image noise for long exposures, but this is usually only noticeable during long, 10 second-plus photos. Other than that, image quality is excellent and the photos bright and colorful.
Canon has been producing the Canon Rebel for some time, a 35mm SLR aimed at filling in the gap between amateur cameras and professional-grade cameras. The Rebel had good image quality, a large range of quality lenses, and a price that made it attractive to “prosumers,” or those who fit in between the amateur and professional photographers. Then the EOS Digital Rebel came out to resounding success.
These great features, combined with a body price of around $1,000, helped make the EOS Digital Rebel the most popular digital SLR ever. Though Nikkon and other manufacturers have other quality cameras with similar prices and features, the high quality, wide lens selection, and low price make the Canon EOS Digital Rebel a tough competitor, winning over amateur and professional photographers alike. Canon has capitalized on the camera’s success, releasing a few different versions on the same theme, but every model of the Digital Rebel combines the same great features.
When digital cameras first came onto the scene, they were far from being replacements to the standard 35mm cameras. Hardly any professionals used them since their image quality just wasn’t good enough to produce satisfactory prints. Eventually the image quality improved enough to result in high-quality prints, even when enlarged past 8×10, but the cameras with the resolution to produce these prints were ridiculously expensive, costing over $10,000. Sure, they offered lots of options and great photos for people who were able to afford them, but to amateur photographers and even most professionals, it was much cheaper and made more sense to stick with 35mm single-lens reflex cameras.
