New Eight Megapixel EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR Adds Resolution, Speed and Creative Control to the Imaging Infantry
"The Canon EOS Digital Rebel(R) camera that rocked the world of consumer digital SLRs little more than a year ago now has a new, faster, even smaller, big brother. Sibling rivalries aside, the 8.0 megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR, which will be showcased at PMA 2005, February 20-23 (Canon Booth #3503), in Orlando, Fla., adds resolution, speed, an extra dollop of creative control and enhanced comfort in the hand, to one of the smallest and lightest digital cameras in its class. Despite its advancements in ergonomic design and technology, this easy to use EOS digital camera is compatible with all of Canon's EF lenses including the EF-S lenses and still retains the sub-$1,000 price point, proven crucial to entry-level digital SLR consumers.
'As we have with the Digital Rebel's 35mm film-based cousins, we are expanding the line-up of Digital Rebel SLRs, offering consumers a wider variety of features and price points based on their needs and budgets,' said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A., Inc, a subsidiary of Canon Inc. (NYSE:CAJ). 'Even though we have increased the resolution, speed, responsiveness and energy efficiency on the new EOS Digital Rebel XT camera, we have decreased its size and weight, making it more comfortable to hold and use. Indeed, it is nearly three ounces lighter and more than a half-inch smaller than the original EOS Digital Rebel model.' "

Most people with normal size hands think the Rebel XT grip is too small. Especially with heavy lenses attached. If canon is concerned about ergonomics, they should make two models - one for normal to large hands, and one for small hands at the same price.
OR, if Canon was really smart, they would design the grip so you could screw on an outer grip cover. This would allow people to easily customize the grip size.
