Product Description
Canon presents the worthy successor of the amazing EOS 350D - the EOS 400D! Using the same concept as its legendary predecessor, the EOS 400D comes with a powerful 10 megapixel CMOS sensor, a beautiful 2.5? LCD screen and a DIGIC II image processor to improve response times and image processing speeds. It also has an AF system that switches from 7 to 9 points in a matter of seconds, ensuring exceptional results even in low lighting conditions. Plus, the EOS 400D prevents dust from settling on the lens with its built-in self-cleaning EOS system, which uses 3 different methods to leave it spotless. The first of these methods involves reducing the build-up of dust through the use of the internal mechanisms designed for this purpose, while the other techniques use anti-static technology on the low-pass filter and high-frequency vibrations to shake off dust. Compatible with both digital EF and EF-S lenses, the EOS 400D preserves the same user friendliness and features as the EOS 350D! This camera is supplied without a lens.

 Superb starter digital SLR October 22, 2008
chuckles (Netherlands)
I decided to get back into photography with an SLR, and did quite a lot of research. This lead me to buy this camera and lens (as well as a 18-55 70-300 zoom). This camera is a superb entry level camera, with preset picture style types such as portrait, landscape, sports etc. and a fully auto setting, so as easy to use as a point and shoot. For the more professional photographers amongst you, there are the manual setting options where you can adjust the ISO, aperture etc. and a fully manual option. A basic 18-55 lens will be fine when you are getting used to the camera, however the lenses will be the first thing you upgrade if you fall in love with photography! I recommend the USM IS range of lenses as reasonable priced good quality upgrades.
 Excellent value for money - only one drawback... September 18, 2008

The 400D is an excellent slr for the price. If you combine the camera with good lenses pictures are sharp, well saturated and can be printed on A2 - I have several examples on my walls. It is extremely easy to use. br / br /The only drawback I experienced of this camera is buffer speed. If you're not technical buffer speed is how fast the camera transfers your photos onto the CF card, in other words if you take 8 shots the buffer speed determines how long you have to wait to shoot again. The frames per second are more than adequate, however as I do a lot of portrait work I found having to wait to take another series of shots occasionally annoying. br / br /On the whole the 400D is excellent however, I have done several semi-pro shoots with it and I never felt I was short changing customers as the results were excellent. br / br /If the 400D fits your price range and you want a superb introductory camera or you're on a budget...buy it. Spend everything else you have on the best lenses you can afford. You won't regret it. br / br /COUNTER to the "DISAPPOINTING" review br /I found no under-exposure problems on my 400D, although I almost always shot in the more advanced modes. However this is what they are for. If your camera is under exposing the simple solution is to use the 'exposure compensation' which is utilised with the scroller wheel and the 'Av+/-' button next to the display. br / br /Your photography will benefit from mastering the more advanced features of the camera :)

This is a first class camera at a price i could afford which accepts the lenses from my old camera. It is also easy to pick up the basic handling and would recommend the camera and the provider to anyone to do business with.
A Decent Camera, but still only a Canon April 25, 2008

I've bought this together with Canon EF 50mm / 1.8 lens, after I drowned my old Sony F707. The image quality and batter life are not much worse, but you'd expect some improvement over the 2001 Sony model, which had 38--190mm / 2.0--2.4 lens in-built for a similar price, plus long-lasting, if more expensive, acus. Also, the Canon build is decidedly plasticky, compared to the magnesium alloy of the old Sony. br / br /Overall: don't expect too much, although it's better than the new Sony Alphas.
A great entry DSLR April 1, 2008

I've got this camera since almost a year now and it's a fabulous camera at that price point. Do yourself a favour and buy a better lens than the kit so, you will not regret it. It seems that the new 18-55 IS is far better so maybe with the new 450D it will not be such a problem to start with the kit lens.
