Vintage Digital: Canon EOS Rebel XTi

This is the Canon EOS Rebel XTi an 10.1-megapixel DSLR made by Canon in 2006. It was marketed as the EOS Digital Rebel XT in the Americas, EOS 400D in Europe, and EOS Kiss Digital X in its home country of Japan. The Rebel XTi is of standard DSLR design language and the main thing to note is that it is significantly more compact and lighter than its predecessor. The change in size makes the camera easier to hold, but at the expense of being unbalanced with larger lenses.

Sample images taken the first time I used this camera on a nighttime photo walk in Washington, DC. Most of these were taken at CityCenterDC after a spirited discussion with security about what constitutes public space.
