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:
Megapixel10.1
Optical ZoomNA
Digital ZoomNA
Memory CardCompact Flash
LCD 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 Speedlites
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? 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

What a great buy from Amazon.......2008-01-08
Advised by my son in US to purchase the EOS400d and have not regretted it for one minute. Good service from Amazon and all arrived promptly as advertised. Very quickly applied for and received the cash back from Canon which made the camera a bargain at £350. Lens suits me in a learning capacity Will possibly upgrade when knowledge and experience demand. Easy to operate and understand and have sent for DVD on camera to assist with knowledge and improve photos. At same time got the 430EX flashgun which obviously is a great improvement on the built in unit. All software loaded into home computer and just needs you to sit, study and learn to upload, store and print good quality photos. Have an Epson Stylus D68 PE printer which copes with printing demands from this camera
I do not think you need to look elsewhere for an extremely good, well made camera. Highly recommended.
a great camera for beginning enthuisasts.......2008-01-04
A really easy to use, reliable camera perfect for amateur enthusiasts and less experienced photographers. With a good range of modes such as portrait, landscape and macro, the camera also has more complex modes such as manual, aperture priority and shutter priority.
The camera is fairly small which can mean the controls are difficult to use but it is perfect for small hands. The weight is manageable and I have had no problems carrying the camera in my handbag.
The only letdown with the 400D is the standard lens which doesnt allow the camera to reach its full ability for capturing detail. A huge range of lenses are available for the EOS cameras but you may find these cost as much as the camera itself.
Very competent DSLR.......2007-12-30
I used to have an analogue SLR years ago, and digital compacts are never quite good enough. This Canon has all the amazing features you would have seen on professional level DSLRs only 3 years ago, and now we all have access to the same technology. I particularly liked the self-cleaning mechanism, if you choose to change lenses. And three shots per second is fantastic for moving events or family portraits.
I suggest you budget twice the cost of the camera. You will also need a high capacity memory card, a tripod, a longer lens and Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) to get the best out of the camera. You should also budget a lot of time - this camera is addictive!
Home Delivery Network saga.......2007-12-28
The camera I have purchased is no doubt a fine piece of equipment but I have recently lost faith in the delivery system that Amazon uses. I have ordered this camera within the final deadlines advertised by Amazon but I have had to be 'content' with a later date in January. Aside from this, other purchases for Christmas have failed to arrive within the delivery period from 'Home Delivery Network', the best bit being the excuses that are written on the cards left on the doorstep, especially as I have been in when the supposed delivery took place. At least Royal Mail admit when they have cocked up and give you the option of collecting your delivery within a sensible distance from where you live. In my case Home Delivery Network suggested I collect the delivery from a depot 50 mile away... perfect. I would appear that the High Street shops are cheaper. Jessops in this case.
Awful Experience with Ship Carrier Home Delivery Network Limited.......2007-12-19
I have been buying from Amazon for over 6 years and I have had no problems with receiving any of my purchases from other ship carriers except Home Delivery Network Limited. If anyone is looking into buying the Cannon EOS 400D Camera from Amazon, I would strongly advise to check which ship carrier is being used. In this case, my camera was dispatched from Amazon to Home Delivery Network Limited's Depot on 13th December 2007 and they claim (on the track order page) that they attempted delivery on 15th, 17th, 18th December 2007 when they blatantly have not. There has been someone at home all day on all three dates mentioned and they did not attempt delivery. When I looked on their website, they do not provide a telephone number for customers to contact them with regards to their parcels nor do they provide an e-mail address but a landline address to write to. They also claim on the website that if their delivery was not successful, they would leave a card with a telephone number on it to our mailboxes for us to arrange a convenient delivery time but I have checked everywhere in my building and I have not received a single card from them. When I found out their telephone number and called them, they were extremely unhelpful, when asked to speak to a manager, I was told that I would get a call back within 24 hours, which did not happen. I asked if they could arrange for the driver to call us an hour before making delivery to make sure someone is home, they said that they do not have contact with the driver whatsoever. I made another phone call on the same day (18th) in the afternoon at 5pm to Home Delivery Network Limited to find out the whereabouts of my camera, they claimed that it would arrive by 7pm and by 6pm when I tracked the order online it said that the parcel has arrived back in the depot after delivery attempts at 5.03pm and 5.27pm. I have checked my postal address with them again and I have checked my intercom phone and found no failure and I have not had a problem with anything delivered to my address for the past 3 years either. So I made another phone call to them at 3pm today on 19th December 2007, they told me that there is 'delay in delivery due to external factors' because their van broke down and I would not be receiving my parcel today and asked to speak to the manager, no managers were available as they are out doing the deliveries themselves (then why am I not getting my parcel today?). I was very happy to find out the great price for this camera on amazon and the GBP50 cash back from Cannon (offer ends on 31st December) but at this stage I don't think I would get my camera before that, I am left feeling very helpless and disappointed. Home Delivery Network Limited even suggested that I am lying when I or other members of my family have been home for all the days that they claim they have attempted deliveries. Great price it might be, no point if you don't ever get the camera, especially when I need it for art projects.

CHECIK EVERY WHERE FOR THE BEST PRICE.......2007-08-20
I paid £420 with Skyfilter and lens, the whole set. This is so overpriced on here, one has to check twice in case it was the wrong model etc.
Fantastic Camera as all Canons are.Lens quality is superb and the handling is great.

An excellent bundle.......2007-12-27
I'm not going to review the excellent Canon EOS 400D (as there are dozens of professional reviews of the camera already on the internet) - but it really is an excellent DSLR - the best by far at it's price-point.
This bundle include the 400D body, the superb 17-85 IS USM (stabilised) lens; and (Amazon don't make this clear) the Canon battery grip.
The 17-85mm IS USM lens is generally regarded as the best general purpose lens for the 400D. I've seen the "regular" kit lens (the "cheap" 18-55mm) - and there's no comparison. It's not quite a pro lens - but for the average (serious) hobby photographer it's an excellent lens to start off with. The APS sized sensor in the 400D means that this lens has an equivalent range to a 27-136mm lens on a film SLR.
The stabilisation really does work - permitting you to hand-hold an exposure two or three stops longer than you'd expect for the length of the lens. The old rule is not to hold slower than 1/focal length. Due to the APS-sized sensor that become 1/(focal length x 1.6) for the 400D: meaning that 1/125 is about as slow as you'd want to hold when zoomed all the way to 85mm. With the IS turned on, you can hold as slow as 1/30 sec (which is pretty darned impressive) - or maybe even longer, if you've a steady hand.
The battery grip is a nice extra too. It's worth about £80 - and it enables you to either use two of the standard batteries at once (to save the need to change battery part-way through the day) - or (in "emergencies") use 6x AA batteries. These won't last you too long (especially with the power hungry IS lens) - but it's a nice extra feature. It also makes the whole camera feel a little chunkier. The 400D is fairly small - and the battery grip makes it feel a bit larger (good if you've not got small hands). It also replicates the major controls - positioning an additional shutter-release, control-wheel, etc optimally for holding the camera in a portrait orientation.
Two things not included in this kit are a CF memory card (I know they're really cheap - but not including one just seems a tad mean), or a lens-hood. This (aparently) is Canon policy (they only include hoods with their L-series lenses); but this too seems a little mean.
In summary - this is an excellent camera, included here in an excellent bundle (which is quite a bit cheaper than buying the parts separately).
