Canon EOS Rebel Ti / Kiss 5 / 300V
Released in September 2002, the EOS Rebel Ti offered a decent upgrade on earlier consumer EOS cameras. Notably the EOS Rebel Ti featured improved algorithms and a faster microcomputer that greatly increased autofocus speeds and improved predictive AF performance. Canon also paid attention to redesigning the ergonomics of the Rebel Ti by grouping most controls on the right side of the camera for easier operation with one hand while also adding a right hand grip to the body of the camera. The rear LCD panel was increased in size and a backlight feature was added to make it easier to read in dim conditions.
Aside from these improvements the Rebel Ti inherited many of the qualities of earlier EOS consumer cameras. The camera has an electronic focal plane shutter with speeds from 30s to 1/2000 (flash sync at 1/90 and a Bulb mode for long exposure work). The Rebel Ti has a robust 10 different exposure modes: Intelligent program AE with variable shift, Shutter speed-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Auto DEP, Full Auto (Intelligent program AE, unshiftable), Programmed Image Control Modes (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait and Flash Off), E-TTL program flash AE, A-TTL program flash AE, TTL program flash AE and Metered Manual. The camera's meter uses a 35-zone SPC with three different metering modes: 35-zone Evaluative, Center Partial (9.5% of metering area), and Center Weighted Average. The Rebel Ti also housed a built-in motor for automatic film loading, advancing and rewinding to go along with a built-in pop-up flash. The camera adds an electronic self-timer as well as the capability for multiple exposures.
While made out of less durable plastic components this also kept the EOS Rebel Ti lightweight and compact - an easy camera to carry everywhere!
Depending on the market it was sold in, this camera was also known as the EOS Kiss 5 or EOS 300V.
