I have got the opportunity to buy a wonderful digital camera from my relative working abroad in FRANCE. The" Canon EOS400D" is a pretty black box, lightweight of about 500grams ,compact and seems to be robust, with an 1.8/55 lens. The E-TTL II window displays you all informations about focal and distances. I was gone picking some landscapes and portrait views, lens and views are clean and it seems that that the EOS cameras had an integrated cleaning system that keeps its lens and micro electronics dustless and spotless automatically on each power on.
An 2.5" LCD screen displays rich and well saturated images that allows you to enjoy and share instantly your picked views.
Let the Camera work by itself with a high speed shootings of about 3 photos / second and continuous 25 to 27 sights in one shoot click.
The EOS400d I bought is really a jewel. I had picked some wonderful views, photos are sharp and contrasted as I ever liked it!
On the processing side, I had noticed an honest speedy data transfer to my PC through an USB port, without forgetting the TV /OUT connection that allows to view my pictures on the TV screen or savings on a video recorder.
I have got the luck to buy my second-hand EOS400D canon camera for the equivalent of 200 GB£. It seems that I had payed an honest good price for an almost new camera. New items prices are between 500 to 600 GB£ in different online stores.
