The '''Canon EOS 350D''', known in the Americas as the '''EOS Digital Rebel XT''' and in Japan as the '''EOS Kiss Digital N''', is an 8.0-[[megapixel]] entry-level [[digital single-lens reflex camera]] manufactured by [[Canon Inc.|Canon]]. The model was initially announced in February 2005. Part of the [[Canon EOS|EOS]] range, it is the successor to the [[Canon EOS 300D|EOS 300D]] and the predecessor to the [[Canon EOS 400D|EOS 400D]] (or Digital Rebel XTi), which was released in August 2006.

==Details== The 350D is the successor to the [[Canon EOS 300D]], which was the first sub-US$1000 digital SLR, introduced in 2003.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=EOS Digital Rebel XT |url=http://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/dslr789.html |website=Canon Camera Museum}}</ref> There are some differences between the 350D and the 300D.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_eos300d%2Ccanon_eos350d&show=all|title=Digital Cameras Side-by-Side, 2 cameras|publisher=dpreview.com|access-date=24 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100129102326/http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_eos300d%2Ccanon_eos350d&show=all|archive-date=29 January 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> Many of the features 'locked out' by Canon in the 300D were unlocked in this camera, so it has been subject to less unofficial 'hacking' to release the locked features. In addition to these unlocked features, a number of other improvements have been made. Some of the most significant upgrades include: * 8.0 megapixels (up from 6.3) * [[DIGIC II]] image processor * Faster power on times (0.2 seconds) * Compact Flash type II capability (includes microdrives) * 14 (JPEG) or 4 ([[Raw image format|raw]]) frames continuous shooting buffer * Smaller and lighter body * Increased function customization * [[Canon EOS flash system|E-TTL II]] flash algorithm (improvement over the old [[Canon EOS flash system|E-TTL]] flash algorithm) * [[Mirror lock-up]] * Selectable [[Autofocus|AF]] and metering modes * [[USB 2.0]] interface (improved from the slower USB 1.1 interface on the 300D) * [[Lithium ion battery]].

The Canon EOS 350D comes with [[Digital Photo Professional]] to be able to create JPEG or TIFF files from raw files. This was only available on Canon's professional cameras.

== Issues ==

Canon had compatibility problems with the [[Lexar]] Professional 80x-speed Compact Flash (CF) cards which resulted in either total image loss, or the camera freezing up. In the cases of the camera freezing, the images may still be retrieved using an external CF card reader.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&keycode=2112&fcategoryid=226&modelid=11154|access-date=13 October 2009|title=Support – EOS Digital SLR Camera|publisher=usa.canon.com|archive-date=8 July 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708063836/http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&keycode=2112&fcategoryid=226&modelid=11154|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The camera will interpret the presence of a [[hot shoe]] protector as the presence of an auxiliary flash attachment thereby disabling the built-in pop-up flash. Removing the hot shoe protector will re-enable the built-in flash. A micro-switch in the hot-shoe senses the presence of the flash.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}

When using third party lenses, most notably older Sigma lenses, there may be a compatibility issue. Reports exist of people receiving "Err99" errors when using such lenses. The problem is more pronounced when using older lens that do not feature an HSM focus drive. Using the problematic lens with its largest aperture is sometimes possible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/lenses.html#compatibilitythirdparty|access-date=13 October 2009|title=Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ|publisher=photonotes.org|date=6 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120122112343/http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/lenses.html#compatibilitythirdparty|archive-date=22 January 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> Another cause of Err99 messages involve [[Canon EF-S 18–55mm lens|EF-S 18–55]] lenses (kit lens for the 350D and 20D) that are defective; purchasing used EF-S 18–55 lenses is a risk factor, especially from eBay auctions. Some auction listings state that the lens was never used – especially those claiming that the lens was originally part of an EOS 400D kit; the best way is to verify the serial numbers indicating the manufacture date.

== Firmware updates == The latest [[firmware]] released by Canon for the EOS 350D is version 1.0.3<ref name="canon">{{cite web|url=http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/eosdigital2/e3kr2_firmware-e.html|website=web.canon.jp|title=D REBEL XT / 350D Firmware-E|access-date=2 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614215944/http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosdigital2/e3kr2_firmware-e.html|archive-date=14 June 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> (released 27 October 2005). It fixes problems relating to remote release cables, as well as a problem while reviewing saved images.
