Quality
The EOS 350D Digital employs Canon’s acclaimed CMOS technology, for outstanding image quality and 8.0 Megapixel resolution. Always be primed for the next shot with responsive 3 frame per second, 14 frame burst performance and instant 0.2 second start up time. Powerful DIGIC II architecture taken from Canon’s pro-series cameras ensures no compromise on sophisticated, effective and super-fast image processing.

Focus
7 auto focus points are distributed across the frame for fast, accurate focusing, even with off-centre subjects. Lock focus before the shot with One Shot AF, or switch to AI Servo AF for predictive tracking of moving subjects - great for wildlife and sports photography.

Perfect light
The powerful pop-up flash (guide no. 13) offers plenty of lighting flexibility. E-TTL II distance-linked flash reads lens distance information and ambient light for accurate flash metering: perfect for recomposed shots and difficult reflections. The camera is compatible with the entire EX Speedlite flash range, including the Speedlite 580EX, which transmits colour temperature information for improved colour stability.

Lenses
The EOS 350D Digital is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon’s EF-S lenses. Built with the EOS 350D Digital photographer in mind, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM cover an exciting range of popular focal lengths, while the EF-S 60mm f/2.8mm Macro USM lens lends a new dimension to the world of insects and plants.

Ultimate flexibility
Before shooting, choose to optimise JPEG images either for direct printing or post processing. For ultimate flexibility, JPEG and RAW images write simultaneously. Canon’s Digital Photo Professional RAW image processing software gives you post-shoot control over valuable RAW images.

Connectivity
A USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface ensures rapid image uploads and fast direct printing. Once connected direct to any PictBridge compatible printer, simply hit the ‘Direct Print’ button for an instant print of the displayed image; automatically sized and correctly aligned. The EOS 350D Digital takes both CF and CF-II cards, including cards of over 2GB capacity.

Online sharing
Membership is included to Canon's CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, with 100 Mb of online space for album storing and sharing. Upload images and direct your friends and family to secure online 'albums'.
