Hmm possibly, what page is the blurb on?STaSh - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
That's probably the sensor that tracks if the camera is vertical or horizontal. It's used to determine how you want a vertical image to be displayed on the LCD.There should be a blurb in the manual about it.

I have a question to XT owners. I have noticed last night when holding my camera, that there seems to be something loose inside. I was just moving it up and down in my hands trying out different angles when I noticed what seems like something is moving around inside. The camera was brand new when I got it, and packed very nicely, and certainly has not been dropped or exposed to any shock at all. I was wondering if you guys have it too?Rebel II - Thursday, August 25, 2005 - link
I agree about the noise, there seems to be something loose in the camera. Mine is brand new and has not been subjected to any shock. I've been practicing using it and never noticed anything for the first six days. It is very quiet at times when I am practicing but I have never noticed a sound until the sixth night. I was using a "long exposer time" and after that I noticed a sound everytime I tilted the camera back and forth. I can even feel it as I move it. Everything seems to work the same. I can't figure out why I didn't notice it before. I was ready to return it but decided to check on the web to see what others have experienced. You are the second person to mention this so far as I have just began my search.Possessed Freak - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
Hrmmm, I may actually have to try one of these out. I still use my Canon AE-1 program for all my picture taking. This DSLR really has me intrigued.NFS4 - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
Stephen, I got my D70 Kit a few weeks ago from OneCall.com for $899.99 after a $100 Nikon rebate.Also don't forget the Nikon D50, which I hope you will be reviewing soon along with the Nikon D70S

Anyone want to buy the original Rebel? ;-) Man, I WANT one of these lol!roibm - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
glad it's fixed... I freaked out seeing it didn't work with my default browser(opera) and then not even with firefox.I can confirm it works with both as well.

#6, the javascript problem has been fixed. It now works fine in Firefox, Opera, etc...#7, yes the Rebel XT shoots at 72 dpi
rootaxs - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
Thanks for the review, would you mind posting though if the processed photo's that come out of the XT are at 300dpi or 72dpi? (e.g. at max resolution, not resized to become a 300dpi image).
