Product Description
Canon announces its next generation D-SLR: the EOS 400D. Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, new EOS Integrated Cleaning System, larger and brighter 2.5" LCD and 9-point AF, the model is predicted to take the lead as the world?s most popular camera. It is positioned above the EOS 350D, currently the fastest selling SLR camera of all time.Features:Megapixel10.1Optical ZoomNADigital ZoomNAMemory CardCompact FlashLCD Size2.5"Other features: - Canon?s EOS Integrated Cleaning System - High-precision 9 point AF system - Picture Style image processing parameters - DIGIC II image processor with 0.2 sec start up - Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software - Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series SpeedlitesAs well as the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 400D incorporates a number of developments over the EOS 350D. Resolution increases from 8.0 to 10.1 Megapixels, using the superior hi-sensitivity, hi-speed, low-noise CMOS technology now found in all six EOS Digital models. At nearly twice the size of the EOS 350D display, the 2.5? hi-resolution LCD is the brightest in the EOS range and now displays all of key shooting and user interface information along with image playback. The AF system expands from 7 to 9-point, with a highly sensitive f/2.8 center point for exceptional performance in low light. Even with the image resolution increase, maximum frame burst almost doubles from 14 to 27 large JPEGs and from 5 to 10 RAW.The EOS 400D is the first camera to incorporate the EOS Integrated Cleaning System. Based on significant research into the causes of dust in D-SLR cameras, the system combats dust in three important ways: Reduce, Repel and Remove.Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation. The body cap is redesigned to prevent dust generation through wear on the cap itself.Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the s

 Excellent - but you need to work to get the best from it August 24, 2008
Consistently topping the recommendation lists for entry level Digital SLR cameras the 400D is a fine piece of equipment. There are more than enough reviews here which to extol the cameras virtues and facilities; it is certainly an easy to use camera. However while is will work well enough on fully automatic mode, I have found that in order to get the very best out if it you have to do a little bit of work yourself. Different circumstances will warrant the camera operator selecting specific preferences, be it shutter speed or aperture, and perhaps allowing the camera automatic function to provide the rest, in order to produce the desired results.
But perhaps the most important area where the user needs to be watchful is with the focusing. Especially with close-up work I now no longer use the cameras automatic focusing but rely on the eye and the viewfinder to ensure accurate focusing. The difference is considerable; in fact I was ready to up-grade the lens until I carried out a few experiments and proved what the standard 18-55mm lens could do, and it proved to be quite up to the job. Knowing what the standard lens can doo means I can now look much more specifically for additional lenses.
It also is worth remembering that pressing the shutter release is only half the photographer's job. Back in the days of traditional film stock the rest (or even the most) was done in the dark-room. So some decent photo editing software is just as important; Adobe Photoshop is of course very good but my own preference is for Corel Photopaint.
Excellent value for money, I am very happy with my 400D.
amazing camera! August 22, 2008
I have just started getting into digital photography and I can say that this camera is perfect not only for a beginner like myself but for professionals also.

Only thirteen months after buying the camera, and it failed (Error 99).
Look on the internet for Error 99. Choose Pentax instead.
A brilliant starter August 9, 2008
The 400D was my first venture into digital SLR's (I've had several film ones over the years) and I must say I am very happy with it. It's been just over a year since I brought the 400D with kit lens (18-55m) and a 50-200mm with it. It's a nifty little camera, big enough to make the image conscious feel like the have a TRUE DLSR in their hands, but small enough for carrying around like a compact digital camera.
Another great thing about the 400D is that is has the safety net of the automatic functions, such as scene modes, automatice white balance, ISO and focusing, but allows for learning with the ability to be fully manually controlled if the user so wishes.
I would definately reccomend this as a perfect starter dlsr for anyone buying, I just wish the price was like this when I brought mine soon after the release of this model (Summer 2007 for about 600 (with the kit lens, 50-200mm, and a 1gb memory card))!
WOW !!!! July 31, 2008
I recently bought a EOS 400D, for my husband, following my daughters wedding (bad timing or what). He followed the photographer around and whenever he left his lying around, He picked it up and just started taking pic's. He owns two 35mm SLR's, a Pentax MX and Olympus 10, plus a 7 mp Olympus digi camera.
When we went on holiday after the wedding and took photos of Puffins with my digi cam. when we checked the images, even on zoom you had to struggle to see the birds.
So I decided to buy a newer camera for him, hence the 400D. he is so impressed with the picture quality even though I bought a second telephoto lense for him, which again gives great quality. the camera itself is so easy to use, even my 7 year old grandaughter took a great photo of her sister with it !!!!.
Although there is a EOS 450 model out now he would recomend the EIOS 400D to anyone
