Canon EOS 400D

...the Nikon D70 and the canon EOS 400D. In the end the canon won because it felt comfortable in my hands and I was already familiar with the lay out of the controls. I was also impressed with the Canon EOS integrated cleaning system, basically a self-cleaning system that prevents dust and dirt getting onto the sensor unit. I have been using my camera since last June so now feel able to give you my opinion; I hope it will be useful! What you get for ...
...ordered a copy of the Canon EOS 400D guide for dummies and suggest you do the same if like me you are new to the world of the DSLR. Inside the box was the camera body. An 18-55 mm lens (more about the lens later) and lens cap. An instruction booklet. A battery and charger. A neck strap. USB cable and software on a CD-ROM. I was disappointed that there was no compact flash card included as this meant I would be unable to try my camera out until ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...placed on the body. Canon have decided to put it between the grip where your hand goes, and the lens. When shooting, this is normally either obscured by your fingers or shaded by the lens or the grip, resulting in a poor analysis of the actual colour temperature. That’s really enough about the creative controls for now, without boring you silly. I hope I’ve given you a taste of just how much you can do with even this “entry-level” ...
...of creative expression. The Canon EOS 400D is a truly superb amateur/semi-pro camera and you would not regret buying it. That said, I recommend you read as many reviews as you can lay yours eyes on. Read the other user opinions on Ciao. GO to a shop and play with it yourself, and best of all ask the advice of the shop assistants. For the money you pay for it, I can give only top marks to this camera. If you are an amateur to DSLR photography it will ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

When Canon first introduced their EOS300D three years ago they promised that it would be a turning point in the history of photography. To be honest it did just that and this is now Canons third incarnation in in their entry level D-SLR line-up. So, can it hold the flame for Canon still? In one simple, honest answer I believe it's a big 'YES'. Having actually owned a 300D since they were first released I decided it was time to upgrade after three ...
...of performance from it. Canon certainly haven't cut corners in terms of the quality and functions, you can be sure of that, and it can produce stunning, high class images in a variety of situations. The 400D boasts a 10.1 mega-pixel CMOS sensor, which apparently produces detailed images of up to A3 size however I have prints up to A0 (poster size) from my old 300D (6.5 mega-pixels) with no apparent loss in quality so the 400D will be able to match ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...I have been using the Canon EOS 400D for about 2 months-ish now, and thought it was about time for a review, I will cover most of the aspects of this amazing camera for you, please, enjoy! Features ======= First of all, if you are familiar with either the 300D/Rebel, or more so, the 350D/Rebel XT, then you will be familiar with the 400D/Rebel XTi, they are very similar cameras, with progressive growth through the generations. The latest installment, ...
...* Canon DUST removal system These are the prominent differences that you will notice between this and the 350D, and they are the major ones that Canon makes an effort to point out. I can say though, that there are other, slightly less important, and less publicised differences, such as a better thumb grip and hook, different mode dial, different material, (similar solidity, but different feel, nicer in my opinion). I think I must make it clear, ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

Review EOS 400d The canon 400D is a good camera - for the price it's a great camera. It's relatively compact; lightweight; comes with an adequate lens; has programmed settings for novices - like portrait and landscape modes; but also offers manual control of apertures, shutter speeds, white balance, ISO… so that the more experienced photographers can have fun and be a little more creative. One item to note if you are upgrading from a digital compact ...
...on newer, or more sophisticated Canon bodies, as your skill increases. If you have around £400 to spend on a digital SLR this is certainly one to consider. With this camera and a quality lens you should be able to produce images up to A3 size. For the price and for a first SLR I highly recommend it. ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...it for. The Canon EOS 400D is a perfect camera for almost everyones needs. Only a dedicated professional photographer that plans on investing in a large number of lenses should be paying more than £600 for a camera base unit. If you are upgrading from an earlier model, or are just getting into photography - this model is ideal at a cost effective price if you do your homework and shop around for a bargain online. If you are new to photography, I ...
...base unit that costs more than a EOS 400D and speak to a professional photographer (there's many online if you look in the right places who can give you free advice) and tell them what type of photos you plan to take. They will then give you advice on the additional lenses that you would require, if you plan on shooting various subjects. The key about taking a good photo is not all about buying an expensive camera - it's about learning the camera ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...in late 2006 - the Canon EOS 400D and the Nikon D50. In my view, these eclipsed virtually all of the other offerings by being bang up to date and having some really useful features. (Many photography reviewers agree). After trying these two in the shops I found that they were remarkably similar in picture quality and handling. The deciding factor was the vast range of Canon EF/EFS lenses to suit all pockets against the more limited and more expensive ...
...Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses **** Getting started The camera can be used for practice without a memory card, so whilst I was waiting for the card I could practise with the camera once the battery was charged (about 4 hours). The printed instruction book is extremely comprehensive and well cross-referenced. I worked my way through the quick start section and within 30 minutes felt confident about taking pictures. A couple ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...SLR cameras around; NIkon and Canon have always been head to head with their visual range of products. The Canon EOS 400D is good for both amateurs and professionals, you may even say it is simply fool-proof, which is sometimes what Nikon isn't (the D50 certainly isn't at times anyway =s ) everything is just beautiful that comes out of it. Even the shutter clicking sound is beautiful. Build ------- The body of the EOS 400D is almost identical ...
...The EOS 400D uses a Canon NB-2LH lithium-ion rechargeable battery. This battery is smaller in size compared to other digiSLRS, but the life of the battery hasn't been scrutinised because of it. Which is good, as it overall does make the camera quite a bit lighter. Lens ------- The Canon EOS 400D is compatible with the entire range of Canon EF and EF-S autofocus lenses, but not the manual focus FD lens mount in the 1980's, as Canon has been in ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...as the type of consumer Canon has targeted with this camera, and its predecessors the 300D and the 350D. As I write this people have two options, to buy a 400D or to buy a 350D, the 350D being obviously cheaper. I had to make this decision and frankly it just came down to the LCD size at the back for me and to some extent the self cleaning mechanism. The other major differences are: 10.1 megapixel v 8 megapixel Slightly different exterior deisgn ...
...place to start, the other Canon models may have more features and better construction, but whats the point of spending your money on features you cant really appreciate, when you could use the difference in cash to buy some nice lenses which will be able to be used on high Canon models if you decide to upgrade at a later date. Just a point to note, the joy of owning a SLR is not only the features and adjustability that the camera itself offers, ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

Having had a Canon EOS 350D, when the 400D was launched I was so confident of the brand that it was a forgone conclusion that I would buy one. The build quality is the first positive point. It is such a solid camera, not that you would bash it on purpose, but it'll certainly take a few knocks without any problems. The 18-55mm kit lens that I got with mine is also pretty good. This does feel a little cheaply made in comparison to the camera, but it ...
...SLR. Has great features, excellent manual control and also gains you access to Canon's wide range of add-ons and lenses. I am very happy with this camera and will always stick with Canon as a result. NB. I am the original author of this review on dooyoo (username davomrmac). ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

I've had this camera for eighteen months, and bought it to replace my trusty old EOS 1000. This allowed me to use my existing USM lenses, though do bear in mind that the focal lengths do change when using digital SLRs. The camera feels well built, and has not given me any trouble so far. Some reviewers complain about the small size, well I have large hands but have found the camera easy to use and well laid out. A welcome feature missing from my ...
...less welcome omission however is spot metering. The camera is packed full of features including 'coloured' filters for black and white pictures. The menu system is easy to navigate, although it can be defficult to remember where some of the features are to be found. However the intruction book is both very comprehensive and well written. The standard kit lens does not feel as well built as my older USM ones, and this is an obvious cost cutting measure. ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

...it's certainly not one that canon has taken half-heartedly. Not only does the Canon EOS 400D raise the pixels count of Canon's entry-level DSLR to 10 million pixels, but it also inherits the same nine-point AF system used in the high-end EOS 30D and 5D and, for the first time, features a three-stage dust prevention/reduction system. There has also been a significant increase in the newcomer's burst depth, allowing up to 27 of the highest quality ...
...been tweaked a little, the Canon EOS 400D uses the SAME DIGIC II processor as the EOS 350D to maintain speed and quality. DUST BUSTER:- If you want to shoot in RAW format, you can use software-based image cleaning in addition to the in-camera system via Canon's DPP software. HANDLING!!! The EOS 400D may replace the EOS 350D but this hasn't stopped Canon fine-tuning its design and handling as well as the specification. Unlike its predecessor, ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

Having owned the Canon EOS 400 D for the last 5 months, I am very pleased with all the results that I have been able to produce with my first DSLR camera. Whats Good Lets look at the sotware package, quick simple and it does nto overwrite or re-download any pictures that have already been downloaded, very useful if you dont always clear the memory card down when you have finished with the camera. It feels like a normal SLR although completely ...
...across the picture all in the knowledge that you have not just cost yourself a national debt in film and processing... And you can look at the results there and then This camera will provide hours of reliable fun combined with ease of use. Thank you Canon ...

Review of Canon EOS 400D

I bought this camera with a standard lens about two years ago. It's a good introductory camera for someone who wants to learn about digital photography but also wants a fairly decent piece of equipment that will give very nice results in terms of amateur photography. I am beginning my journey towards gaining my LRPS and this is the camera I am using to help me do that, although, I might upgrade it to the 450D in a few months, just for the extras. ...
...very little about cameras and photography The pros: - over 10 megapixels - takes EOS lenses - good size screen - easy menus - comes with a good standard 18-55 mm lens (ideal for most beginners/occasions) - self-cleaning - comes with all the RAW conversion software and imaging facilities. - this camera gives best resullts when shooting in RAW format and in manual mode - with the right lens for the right situation and the right white balance ...

...whopping 10.1 mega pixels. Next, Canon has improved the EOS series by introducing a nifty little bit of technology called 'Self Cleansing Sensor Unit' to avoid those dusty little bits that get into the lens. The screen is not too huge but not too small, and displays the images so clearly with a brightness adjust option. Moving on, it lets you shoot in upto 12 different modes depending on what the subject is which is pretty much what most SLR cameras ...
...The only thing about the camera that annoys me is that add-ons are so damn expensive! Although this is the case with any SLR, especially Nikon and Canon. I didn't think I'd be using it much for photography, but since I was so pleased with the result and ease of use of this camera, I bought myself a tripod to go with it and now I'm even looking for a flash gun and different types of lenses! The only other thing is that it should have a video function ...
