What is the difference between the Canon Rebel XTs and the EOS series digital SLR cameras?

I’m using the Canaon Powershot S3 IS at the moment. It does the job but now I need a little more after learning to shoot manually. To go further I wanted to know which was a better camera between the two.

The new Canon XTi has basically the same automatic settings as the 30D and a considerably lower price tag! There are a FEW more manual settings that are allowed on the 30D, but for what you are coming from, I think you will be more than happy with the XTi.

Also remember that the higher up in the SLR line you get with Canon, that some do not have a built-in flash (you have to buy a flash) and the weight is a lot more. I do not like the feel of the 30D and up– it is so heavy my hand gets tired after only a few shots. The Rebel XT and the Rebel XTi are made for smaller hands and are lot more user friendly if you are an amateur photographer.

When considering a lens, I would opt out of the 18-55 kit lens, as the quality of that lens is probably one of the poorest of Canons. Either get the 17-85L series lens (sometimes they will offer this as a kit lens for a higher price), or the 28-135IS lens. I personally have the 28-135 and I love it. It’s a great everyday and travel lens, as the weight is reasonable, and it has a good telephoto zoom on it. It also has the image stabilization, which I would recommend with whatever lens you get, as it greatly reduces “noise” in your photos. I would personally only choose a Canon lens over the third-party lenses that might be a bit cheaper. Canon ensures that their lenses are 100% compatible with their EOS and SLR lines, so if you ever want to upgrade your digital SLR, they will guarantee that their previous lenses will work. Check out their website for more info (I left it at the bottom since it’s a direct link to their SLR line).

Check out dpreview.com for more in depth analysis and side-by-side comparison of the 2 if you want to know specifics. To purchase your camera I recommend getting it at butterflyphoto.com. They have great prices on the cameras, but they do charge more for accessories so keep that in mind. Also, with an SLR camera, make sure that you get a GOOD memory card– alot of people don’t understand that even though you get a 1 or 2 GB card, you also have to have fast read/write speed cards so that you can keep up with your camera’s abilities. For accessories, including memory, check out bhphotovideo.com. I have used all of the websites I have listed and they are reputable and reliable.

According to foreign media report today, AMD Japan, a Web site exposed the activities of the Japanese company said in a presentation on, including the AMD next two years, a detailed product road map. The road map not only shows the next two years, AMD’s upcoming CPU products, but also includes AMD’s upcoming GPU (graphics processing chip), IGP (integrated graphics core), chipsets and the overall platform.

Desktop computers

Desktop computers, the 2009 is worth noting that GPU. The roadmap shows that, AMD will launch a 40-nm process technology ATI 7xx series (HD4000) GPU chip. In fact, HD4000 series products the majority of the 55-nanometer process, only the RV740 model for the 40-nm process technology.

Entered in 2010, AMD has not brought more surprises. AMD will release the second quarter, Leo platforms, as well as six nuclear Thuban processor and 800-series chipsets. In the GPU area, AMD will launch Evergreen chip in 2010. Earlier rumors said, AMD’s high-end GPU will be available in the second half of 2010. AMD is not mentioned in the presentation Evergreen’s manufacturing process, which means that the chip may be using 32-nanometer process.

AMD will launch the next generation of GPU chips in 2011, code-named as the Northern Islands, which is probably the previous rumors of a Hecatonchires. Northern Islands will use 32-nanometer process, and will tie in with AMD’s Scorpius and Lynx platforms, launched in 2011.

Scorpius will be used more than four-core 32-nanometer Bulldozer processor, which will be based on AMD next-generation processor architecture. The Lynx will use AMD LIano APU, LIano with 32-nanometer process within the STARS processor core (ie, the core of the existing PhenomII X4), and 32-nanometer technology integrated GPU, the two parts will be integrated in a chip. AMD did not mention the information about the GPU, there are rumors saying that the GPU will be based on Evergreen.

Notebook

Laptop connection, AMD’s upcoming notebook platform, Congo was renamed the 2nd Gen UT. In 2010, AMD will soon launch Danube platforms, as well as the first quad-core processor notebooks. GPU products, AMD will launch ATI M9x Series 2009 products, which is actually a Mobility HD 4000 series.

AMD will be the biggest surprise is that GPU products launched in 2010, rumors of the code, including Park, Madison and Broadway, the code are the famous streets of Manhattan, New York’s name. It is worth noting that these products will use the 32-nanometer process. Prior to rumors, these are 40-nanometer process chips Evergreen derivative products. Even more surprising is that these GPU chips will be used M9x the DX10.1. Based on these information, you can see Park, Madison and Broadway does not seem to rumors in the previous 40-nanometer process chips Evergreen variant, but rather the current 32-nanometer process chips M9x improved version. It looks highly unlikely, so AMD needs to make clarification.

In 2011, AMD Fusion technology will be landing notebook platform. Sabine platform will be based on a similar desktop computers in Llano APU structure. The Bravos is a low-voltage platform, the platform used by the APU will use 40-nanometer process. Notebook GPU will continue to use next-generation 32-nanometer process Northern Islands products. 2011 platform will greatly increase battery life.

Currently only the AMD announced broad product road map, can look forward to the future of AMD to provide more detailed information. From the perspective of AMD, the company certainly hope the progress ahead.
