 Canon 400D SLR review at DigiCamReview : Our friend Joshua Waller from DigiCamReview has published his Canon EOS 400D review. The Canon 400D features a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, new EOS Integrated Cleaning System, larger and brighter 2.5" LCD and 9-point AF. As 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-inch hi-resolution LCD is the brightest in the EOS range and now displays all of key shooting and user interface Information.

 Canon EOS 400D - Action photography
According to Joshua Waller: "The Canon EOS 400D is quick to switch on and take photos, being ready in about 1 second (with sensor cleaning turned on). Focusing is precise and rapid. As expected from a camera of this class, you can take the photo the instant you push the button and then take another in less than a second. In continuous shooting mode it takes 3 frames per second and will take an impressive 27 shots in a row (!) before it needs to pause and record the images to compact flash."
Canon 400D camera - Viewfinder and Screen
Joshua continues: "The viewfinder has a display which shows you the usual information and when you're not looking through the viewfinder the LCD display lets you see the camera and film settings (mode, F stop, exposure compensation, iso), the metering modes, the current resolution settings, how many shots you have left and whether the battery is about to die on you. Overall the camera is well laid out and logical, which makes using it straightforward and unobtrusive, with some of the more advanced features requiring a couple of button pushes."
Canon EOS 400D SLR camera - Color quality
"Image quality is excellent, the images have very good colour, with good contrast and detail, with low noise except at the highest ISO settings (ISO1600). Images were slightly smoothed but this is adjustable within the camera and detail was very good. Purple fringing was very low with the kit lens, and red-eye was not a problem. The camera was very competent at focusing (except on very plain surfaces). Vignetting in photos was very mild and I did not notice barrel or pincushion distortion. There is a good range of image sizes, and the compression options include a RAW mode.", concludes Joshua. You want to learn more about the Canon digital camera?
