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

 Composing photo's with the rear screen July 1, 2008

The Canon 400D is a great camera but what a dissapointment to find the rear screen could not be used to compose the photo. I thought all digital cameras gave you this facility.
Would not have purchased this one if I had knowe
 great camera, but do not buy this package with the bundled lens. May 25, 2008

this was my first SLR. i was nervous about the cost. after a year i do not regret spending the money. the camera is fantastic: it oozes quality. from the first time you switch it on (takes less than a second to be ready for a picture), to after you have had it a few months and are shooting in raw and exposure bracketing.
i do think it is cheap of them to not bundle any kind of memory card. (be sure to order an 8 gig CF card at the same time).
do not buy this lens kit. get this camera body, and consider buying a better value, higher quality, canon-fit sigma lens.
 Are they mad??! May 15, 2008

Are you mad??! What are you reading this for? For that price with a kit lens, just get it bought!
I get bored of hearing about plastic bodies, crap kit lenses, yadda, yadda, yadda..... This camera will produce great results if you use it right. I'm going to partially stick up for the kit lens. It's not great, but if it's all you can afford, it'll piddle on most p&s and I've got 18x12 prints shot with the kit lens on a 300D that prove the point. Stopped down it WILL produce sharp photos (as long as you get a reasonable copy!)
What you also get when you buy into Canon is a great range of lenses, massive third party support and access to lots of used bargains around the web. Easy to sell on if you want to upgrade as well. I kept mine when I bought my 40D - I really do like it that much! Cracking little camera.
Excellent camera with substandard lens May 8, 2008

The camera itself is outstanding for the price. It's the first camera I've owned, mainly because I've been somewhat underwhelmed by the unbearable speed of the various point and shoot digitals I've used recently. I cannot really fault this camera and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest it.
The reason I haven't given it 5 stars is due to the lens that comes supplied with this camera. Having replaced it with another I would probably recommend buying the body only and a better lens, though this is probably the case with most SLRs in this price range. I'd give the body 5 stars.
Buy this camera NOW May 2, 2008

If you have been thinking of buying a DSLR, and you don't have a film autofocus SLR with one or more lens compatible with the digital equivalent, then buy this camera NOW. The replacement, Canon EOS 450D is 550 (or more) and it doesn'y have a lot extra (up from 10 to 12 megapixels).
Read the other reviews, those that are positive are right. It is a really great camera (most reviews rate it above the Nikon, which comes a close second). The kit lens, Canon's 18-55mm EFS MkII, is poor - reduces the camera to snaps. But get a half decent lens - which needn't be expensive - such as the Tamron 70-300mm zoom, and see stunning results. Ability to play with all settings - ISO, aperture, shutter and exposure compensation gives better results than the auto settings.
Designed for beginners, this camera opens photographic horizons. I have taken some stunning photos since purchase last November.
Get it now while stocks last - it won't be coming back again.
