I know a lot of you got new cameras for Christmas. I didn’t but thought I would reward myself and then I thought why not reward my readers? You have all been so wonderful to me and I want 2012 to be the year that you all connect with your families, yourselves, and your worlds in whole new ways.
When you look through the lens of a camera a plain view can take n a whole new look. What was bright can become vivid somehow. Black and white because full blown color. What I want to know is what you all see when you look through the lens? Do you see your children playing, a snow covered mountain, you tell me? To help you see the world in all of its beauty I am giving one lucky reader a Canon Rebel XS 10.1 Digital 18-55 mm Camera. Now I will be honest in that I don’t know what all of that means but I do know this is one of the best cameras. My sister in-law has one and she is head over heels about it.
Canon EOS Rebel XS Highlights
10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor Canon’s CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. It offers many of the same new technologies first seen in Canon’s professional EOS-1D Mark III to maximize each pixel’s light gathering efficiency. It’s an APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm), and there’s an effective 1.6x increase in the lens’s marked focal length when attached. Canon’s DIGIC III Image Processor dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel XS’s sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.
DIGIC III Image Processor Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS Rebel XS’s DIGIC III Image Processor works hand in hand with Canon’s CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. The entire electronic system is totally redesigned, giving the camera its incredible combination of speed and image quality. Digital noise is significantly reduced in shadow areas, and color reproduction is superior.
Auto Lighting Optimizer in action Auto Lighting Optimizer The EOS Rebel XS’s Auto Lighting Optimizer is yet another image-quality tool that comes to the rescue in tricky lighting conditions. It can actually lighten dark areas of a scene while ensuring that bright areas maintain tonal detail. In addition, it can increase contrast in “flat” lighting, such as overcast days. It’s now available in all shooting modes, including P, Tv, Av, and Manual.
Picture Style settings With the EOS Rebel XS’s Picture Style technology, photographers can change the look of their digital photographs. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. Changing a Picture Style setting is almost like a 35mm film user switching from one type of color film to another. In addition to six preset Picture Style settings, Canon offers additional downloadable “Picture Style Files” that can be installed into your camera for even more imaging options at your fingertips.
High-speed, wide-area 7-point AF with center cross-type sensors The EOS Rebel XS features a high-speed, wide area 7-point AF system. It can focus using One-Shot AF mode, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and Manual. The center, cross-type focus point operates flawlessly in lower-light and lower-contrast settings. In Live View Function, the EOS Rebel XS can focus manually, with 5x or 10x magnification for focusing clarity.
Capture up to 3 frames/second Excellent performance with 3.0 fps continuous shooting The EOS Rebel XS operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS Rebel XS is one of the fastest cameras available today. It can shoot up to 3.0 fps (frames per second), in bursts of up to 514 JPEGs or 5 RAW files, so you’ll never, ever miss a shot.
Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function The EOS Rebel XS has a bright 2.5-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 170 degrees. It’s perfect for Live View composition or viewing camera settings like AF, ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options. And the maximum brightness of the EOS Rebel XS’s LCD monitor is about 30 greater than its predecessor, which is a big benefit when you’re using the camera in bright sunlight.

Lawrence Scofield says
When I look through the eye cup, the view finder, through the lense, i see my children growing up. I see how they have changed in every aspect of life. Whether it be the smiles on their face, the color of their hair, the expressions they give when taking photos of them or the look of being surprised or saddened. This is what touches me and makes me feel the way I do when i take a photo of my children. When i take other photos its the beauty you get to see with every different subject. The colors and beauty that we sometimes take advantage of.
