The EOS Kiss Digital X, the newest addition to Canon’s immensely popular EOS-series lineup of digital SLR cameras, combines high image quality, excellent responsiveness and user-friendly functionality to meet the needs of a wide range of users, including those wishing to upgrade from a compact digital camera as well as current SLR camera users. Featuring a proprietary APS-C-size (22.2 x 14.8 mm) 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor that realizes low noise despite high ISO sensitivity, coupled with Canon’s exclusive DIGIC II high-speed imaging engine, the camera realizes exceptional image definition and resolution, as well as natural color reproduction.
Canon’s new EOS Kiss Digital X backs outstanding image quality with high responsiveness to ensure that no photo opportunity is missed. In addition to offering high-precision wide-area 9-point AF (auto focus) with a center AF point sensitive to f/2.8, the model achieves a continuous shooting speed of approximately 3.0 frames per second for up to 27 consecutive frames (JPEG L, Fine) in a sequence and realizes an ultra-fast startup of just 0.2 seconds. Moreover, the Kiss Digital X employs a new user-friendly interface that features a large 2.5-inch, high-resolution 230,000 dots LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle for high-performance and ease of use in a compact, lightweight body.
