The Canon EOS Digital Rebel is an entry level digital SLR camera first introduced in 2003.  The original Digital Rebel is a landmark camera model with historic appeal to collectors.  Canon's first sub-$1000 DSLR, the Digital Rebel opened up high quality digital photography to nearly anyone.  As an affordable camera offering a relatively large sensor with nearly unlimited lens options the Digital Rebel continues to enjoy popularity with enthusiasts and students of photography.  The Digital Rebel is also notable for being the first camera able to use Canon's EF-S (EF-Short backfocus) lenses (APS-C format optimized) thanks to the Rebel's use of a mirror sized for APS-C instead of a 35mm frame.

The camera was also marketed as the EOS 300D in Europe and EOS Kiss Digital in Japan.  In 2004 Canon released a follow-up: the Digital Rebel XT.  Also available in Silver
