Canon Digital SLR EOS 350D @ Antrix Tech Zone, Mumbai

Canon Digital SLR EOS 350D

Features :

High Image Quality

.	High-resolution 8.0-megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-C size) with 8 million effective pixels.

.	2nd generation CMOS sensor with an ISO speed range of 100 -1600. Features noise reduction technology which more effectively minimises unwanted noise for visibly clearer images

.	Powered by advanced DIGIC II Imaging Processor.

.	Fitted with a high quality optical low-pass filter used in Canon's higher range of digital SLRs for minimising false colours.

.	Uses the popular E-TTL II autoflash system that accurately assesses ambient lighting to produce the optimal amount of flash lighting for natural looking pictures every time.

Superior Performance With DIGIC II Imaging Processor

.	DIGIC II imaging processor produces images with true to life colour reproduction and razor sharp clarity that are more pleasing to the eye.

.	DIGIC II features greatly accelerated processing speed for fast and highly responsive camera reaction.

.	Continuous shooting of about 3 frames per second for up to a maximum burst of 14 JPEG compression type (5 RAW compression type) images.

.	Camera start-up time is a mere 0.2 sec - means you will never miss another great photo opportunity.

.	Fast shutter speed of up to 1/4000 sec. Shutter release lag time is a mere 100 msec.

.	Viewfinder blackout time reduced to 100 msec.

Lightweight & Compact Yet Robust

.	With a bold compact design, the EOS 350D is a stylish piece of photography equipment modeled around the classic SLR look.

.	Available in two colours: silver and black.

.	Circuitry is more efficient and uses less power, allowing battery pack to be sized smaller without any compromise on performance.

.	The result: one of the lightest and most compact digital SLRs, that you will want to bring everywhere with you.

Sharply Focused Pictures Every Time

.	7-point auto-focus (AF) with a wide field of view ensures that your subject is in focus regardless of its placement within the viewfinder.

.	An intelligent predictive focus AF ensures that moving subjects like kids or athletes are constantly in sharp focus.

.	AI servo AF tracks a moving subject, keeping it constantly in focus - most suitable for sports photography.

.	Switch to manual focus with the touch of a button.

Different Shooting Modes For Greater Versatility

.	5 modes in the Creative Zone - Program AE, Shutter-speed priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Manual and Depth-of-field AE - allow serious photographers to select their preferred camera settings for different effects.

.	7 modes in the Preset Zone - Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait and Flash Off - save time by automatically selecting the best camera settings for the selected type of image composition.

.	ISO range is selectable from 100-1600 for shooting under various ambient lighting conditions.

.	Simultaneous RAW compression type and JPEG compression type image processing.

Advanced Functions For Serious Photographers

.	The highly intuitive Quick Menu Function allows quick access to frequently used settings like AF Mode, Metering Mode, White Balance and ISO Speed.

.	Comparable to higher range Canon digital cameras, the AF Mode allows you to select from One-shot AF, AI Focus, or AI Servo to keep fast moving subjects in focus.

.	Select metering mode from Evaluative metering, Partial metering, and Centre-weighted average metering - according to photo-taking conditions.

.	Similar to higher range models, the flash exposure in the EOS 350D can be fully controlled to suit lighting or reflectivity of subject.

.	9 white balance modes reproduce the most natural colours and skin tones under different types of ambient lighting (Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten, White fluorescent, Flash, Colour Temperature and custom).

.	Serious photographers will appreciate WB correction function - formerly only found in higher range cameras - it allows white balance to be finely adjusted for blue, amber, magenta or green hues.

Pick and choose the perfect shot

Auto Exposure Bracketing automatically takes 3 shots with each press of the shutter release button with different exposure settings in ±2 EV in 1/3-step increments.

Auto White Balance Bracketing automatically takes 3 shots of the same scene with different lighting settings ranging from warm, normal and cool.

Choose full colour or shoot in black & white or sepia tones. Digital processing provides the same colour effects as camera filters by lowering the tones for specific colours.

Jump function saves the hassle of having search through the bulk of images one by one. The selection available are:

-	Jump 10 frames: jumps 10 images in one step
-	Jump 100 frames: jumps 100 images in one step
-	Date jump: jumps to the first image from next day shooting.

Lenses & Other Accessories

.	Select from over 70 Canon EF and EF-S lenses, from ultra-wide to telephoto zoom, including the new EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens.

.	Other EOS accessories include a dedicated battery grip (BG-E3) that provides back up power in the form of 6 AA batteries or 2 NB-2LH lithium ion batteries.

Shoot it. Print it Direct.

.	Prints photos directly to Canon's direct photo printers and any PictBridge-compatible printer via Print/Share button without using a computer.

.	Exif 2.2 saves camera settings together with JPEG compression type image for true fidelity to the original image when printing.

Compatibility

.	Compatible with EOS system accessories

.	Compatible with MS Windows and Mac operating systems· USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection and video out interface.

Bundled Software

.	EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 10.0) - contains useful software like Digital Photo Professional (Version 1.6) ZoomBrowser EX, ImageBrowser, PhotoStitch, and so on.

.	ArcSoft PhotoStudio - an easy to use, yet powerful retouching software.

.	Canon Photo Record - Easy way to print photos, even multiples on a single sheet of photo paper or create index prints
