Lenses – Should have no marks on the elements andoptically clear. There may be light dust present that will not effect theimagery.
Sharing to social media and remote shooting is intuitive with Wi-Fi¹ and the Canon Camera Connect app² Missing: No custom function for Safety Shift in aperture and shutter priority modes. This is a nice feature on the fancier Canons. No nikon has this feature either. The EOS 400D is up against some very accomplished competition, but it gets off to a running start by being a third-generation product, with a design that has evolved over several years. Physically it is very similar to the 350D, with a lightweight and compact body made of tough polycarbonate plastic over a stainless steel chassis, although it is in fact a completely new body. Build quality is very good, with none of the cheap and flimsy feeling of the 300D. The battery and card hatches have metal hinges, and although the port cover is a rubber plug it fits well and will keep dust at bay. Take fun-filled selfies and unique images from unusual angles with easy remote control from your compatible smartphone² Seeking the best printer for your business? Hit your productivity targets with inkjet and laser printers that are a perfect fit for any workspace – including home offices.
Condition guide
Shoot detailed images into the night with a large 18 Megapixel sensor, with up to 19x more surface area than many smartphones³
You have no idea how long I had to wait for some blue sky this weekend, but it was worth it to show the 400D’s excellent colour reproduction. The 400D uses the same highly acclaimed Digic II image processing engine as the 350D, but is now equipped with a nine-point AF system, a much wider range of features and a vastly improved control interface. The 400D offers a huge range of picture adjustment and control, but at the same time manages to be accessible and easy to use. The key element is the Picture Style option. There are nine pre-set Picture Style settings, all of which can be customised for sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone, with nine increments of adjustment for each parameter. The default settings are for standard, portrait (less sharpness) landscape (extra sharpness), neutral, faithful and three user-defined settings. When shooting, these Picture Style settings can be selected by simply pressing the Set button and scrolling up or down on the D-pad. It make accurate professional picture quality control very easy. Thankfully the annoying feature of the 300D and 350D, where menu choices had to be confirmed by pressing the Set button has been dropped. The lens has relatively poor edge sharpness, and surprisingly this shot shows a significant level of purple fringing. Enjoy fast Auto Focus and full resolution shooting at 3.0 fps - just point and shoot for impressive results with Scene Intelligent Auto I’ve taken this same shot under virtually identical lighting conditions with a range of 10MP DSLRs, so you can get an accurate picture of how they compare.Magic Cleaning Function is 1.) an anti-static charged sensor and 2.) an ultrasonic vibrator and 3.) a piece of tape to catch dust that falls off when the sensor cover shakes. It does this for a second each time the XTi is turned off or on, and you can do it manually.
Expand your creative shooting options with an extensive range of interchangeable lenses and accessories Experience the power of interchangeable lenses. Capture high-quality shots of people and places with the EF-S 18-55mm III Lens and sharp distant detail using the long reaching EF 75-300mm III lens At 100 ISO the picture is clean, well detailed and noise free, everything we’ve come to expect from a Canon DSLR.
Our verdict...
The advantage of the XTi over other brands is that the XTi has a huge range of color and contrast adjustment. I can get fantastic oversaturated images from it which I can't quite get from any of my Nikons. These Canons let me crank up color more, which may or not be your taste. Tell distinctive stories. This beginner’s DSLR with two versatile zoom lenses lets you intuitively create stand-out photos and Full HD movies full of colour and detail. The 18 Megapixel APS-C sensor allows you to shoot in low light and you can express your creativity with interchangeable lenses. Point and shoot with Scene Intelligent Auto and share your stories using the EOS 4000D’s Wi-Fi¹ and Canon’s free Camera Connect app². Take partial or full manual photographic control when ready. Benefits At the maximum 1600 ISO there is some visible image noise over dark and mid-tone areas, but the image quality is still good enough to print. The viewfinder is also somewhat improved, with a nine-point focus indicator and a bright green LED information display. It seems larger and brighter than the 350D, and is about the same as the viewfinder on the Sony A100 and significantly larger than that of the Olympus E-400.
If you're starting out and undecided as to brand, I'd opt for the Canon Rebel XTi over the Sony A100, but personally I prefer my Nikon D40 to any of these, and it costs less! I own all of the Nikon D40, D70, D80 and D200 and Canon Rebel XTi and 5D. Image quality, as expected, is excellent. I just got mine, so give me a little while to write about it. Autofocus is excellent. It's not as fast as a 5D, but faster than I need. It works well in almost total darkness, so long as you don't mind the flash firing while it tries to focus. That annoys everyone! In terms of performance, the EOS 400D is everything we’ve come to expect from a Canon DSLR. It starts up virtually instantly, and in continuous shooting in fine JPEG quality mode it can rattle off 21 shots at an impressive 2.5 frames per second before it has to pause to write data to the memory card. Even then, the progressive buffer means you don’t have to wait until it’s finished processing every frame before you can shoot again. Even in RAW plus fine JPEG it can shoot at the same speed, although this time the buffer can hold only eight shots, and you have to wait a little longer before shooting again. One slight annoyance, which was also present on the 300D and 350D: if you open the card hatch the camera shuts down immediately, and any images still waiting in the buffer are lost, so make sure you have enough room on your card before you start shooting. The 18-55mm kit lens supplied with the 400D isn’t up to the usual high standard one associates with Canon optics, with noticeable barrel distortion at wide angle. It’s be a better idea to buy the camera body-only and splash out on a decent lens.While the 400D is unquestionably a very good camera, with superb performance, an excellent control system and wide range of picture control options, and while it is a distinct improvement on the 350D, it doesn’t really stand out in comparison to any of the other entry-level 10MP DSLRs that are currently available. The kit lens is also very weak. Enjoy high quality performance, low cost prints and ultimate convenience with the PIXMA G series of refillable ink tank printers. See the world through the optical viewfinder and instantly review results on the user-friendly, 6.8 cm (2.7”) LCD screen It's nice, but I prefer my Nikon D40, which costs less. I prefer cameras based on their usability. The XTi probably has more real resolution if you print everything at 20x30" (50 x 75 cm), but I rarely print bigger than 12 x 18" (30 x 40 cm). If you're the kind of guy who uses a tripod in broad daylight consider the XTi, and if you're someone like me who hand-holds and uses fill-flash, the D40 is much better.
