The Rebel XSi has an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor. Compared to the EOS XTi model, the XSi comes with a larger 3 inch LCD, larger 230,000 pixel screen and a 12.2 megapixel APS-C size Canon CMOS sensor.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizC1tnO_c9wcq_SyTubTJb-gevz4bDR_HSaHmCbr6t7O9KThIPlRID-wJheiCQAQp0IOep44clLm5QOxtIBWIPn-WuCwhdxVPczDA8dCQDUFfxgb1g0XOIlY-gEZfY-mwJQK2tcmL8bd4/s1600-h/canon_xsi_back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizC1tnO_c9wcq_SyTubTJb-gevz4bDR_HSaHmCbr6t7O9KThIPlRID-wJheiCQAQp0IOep44clLm5QOxtIBWIPn-WuCwhdxVPczDA8dCQDUFfxgb1g0XOIlY-gEZfY-mwJQK2tcmL8bd4/s400/canon_xsi_back.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159237326264199538" /></a>For the first time in their entry level digital SLR, the Rebel XSi gets Enhanced Live View, which was previously only available on the EOS-1D Mark III Professional Digital SLR.
