Canon EOS 400D A great camera in its own right

Hi readers today I brought to you review about camera ,canon the 'biggest' name in camera digital company I think.I try my best review.... and thanks a lot to Mr William Ong for your permission to me to try your brand new camera,Canon EOS 400D

Today about Canon EOS 400D, so stay with my post if you want further information about it.
Any new camera has to have a megapixel rating to equal its peers,so the 400D is replete with a 10 megapixel sensor,up from the 8 megapixel of the 350D.That is not the only difference,though.It also addresses what's becoming the Achilles heel of the DSLR: sensor borne dust. The front element of the sensor is attached to a pieco electric element and every time the camera is switched off this vibrates for a couple of second in an attempt to shake off any particles.Assessing the systems effectiveness is difficult,but if you have had to go through the nerve wracking process of manually cleaning a sensor with an air blower you will appreciate the help.

Among the other minor changes is the presence of nine point auto focus system,borrowed from its big brother the EOS 30D.The 350D is seven point system was adequate but occasionally struggled the newer system seems a little faster and more sure footed in low light.And while the burst frame has not increased beyond 3fps,the burst depth has been more than doubled from four RAW frames to 10 or up 30 or so JPEG frames.

The body design is almost identical to that of the 350D,which means that the handgrip is smaller than that of most competitors.the only big physical change is at the back the body,where the old 1.8in LCD monitor and secondary LCD settings display have been replaced by a single 2.5in screen.This mean that all camera settings aside from the basic shooting mode,which is still selected by the top mounted rotary control- are set via the colour display.To reduce the distraction of having a screen lit up underneath your nose,there is a proximity sensor beneath the viewfinder that deactivates the screen when you put your eye to the camera


This change has two consequences.First it increases the sluggishness of operation due to the slight switch on delay of the screen.Second,since the battery pack is the same as the 350D and the screen power draining backlight will be on for more of the time,battery life is reduced.On the face of it this is not a problem,since the battery life of all canon models these days is excellent,but it means that if you do start running low in the field you cannot deactivate the screen to save power.The upside is a larger monitor.


Conventional wisdom has it that more megapixels equals more noise,and I was worried that in bowing to market demands for higher numbers,the basic image quality of the 400D would have decreased.Thankfully, that is not the case, and there is no discernible difference in noise perfomance or image quality,it is as excellent as ever.Even at ISO 1,600,where noise is apparent,its quality is closer to film grain luminance noise than the far more distracting chrominance noise that plagues lesser cameras.If you buy the standard kit with 18 - 55mm lens,which has not changed from 350D,the limiting factor is the quality of the lens itself,which tends to produce obvious chromatic aberrations.Replacing it with a higher quality optic will pay dividends.


If you are 300D owner with a large investment in Canon EF lenses,or a first time buyer on a tight budget,the 400D is a worthwhile purchase.
So, be nice information before get one.Bye...
