The popular Canon Camera Digital Rebel XT - the second generation of the Rebels - is such a small SLR camera that it can possibly be mistaken for a compact digital!

However, once you look at some of the specifications, it is clear that these Canon cameras fit squarely into the SLR league.

Apart from actually being one of the SLR Canon cameras, there is the small (or not so small) matter of the image sensor! Even though the Canon Camera Digital Rebel XT has the same megapixel rating as the 8MP PowerShot Pro-1, its sensor is much bigger.
