High performance digital SLR with 10.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image processor.
Editorial Review:
Make the world your playground with the EOS 400D. 10.1 Megapixels of superior CMOS resolution and Canon's Integrated Cleaning System deliver the EOS hallmark of crisp, clean images, shot after shot. The EOS 400D's 10.1 Megapixel sensor employs the same outstanding CMOS image quality advantage of its big brothers in the professional EOS 1 range.

Superb starter digital SLR I decided to get back into photography with an SLR, and did quite a lot of research. This lead me to buy this camera and lens (as well as a 18-55 & 70-300 zoom). This camera is a superb entry level camera, with preset picture style types such as portrait, landscape, sports etc. and a fully auto setting, so as easy to use as a point and shoot. For the more professional photographers amongst you, there are the manual setting options where you can adjust the ISO, aperture etc. and a fully manual option. A... more info
Excellent value for money - only one drawback... The 400D is an excellent slr for the price.

Cannon 400 This is a first class camera at a price i could afford which accepts the lenses from my old camera. It is also easy to pick up the basic handling and would recommend the camera and the provider to anyone to do business with.
A Decent Camera, but still only a Canon I've bought this together with Canon EF 50mm / 1.8 lens, after I drowned my old Sony F707. The image quality and batter life are not much worse, but you'd expect some improvement over the 2001 Sony model, which had 38--190mm / 2.0--2.4 lens in-built for a similar price, plus long-lasting, if more expensive, acus. Also, the Canon build is decidedly plasticky, compared to the magnesium alloy of the old Sony. Overall: don't expect too much, although it's better than the new Sony Alphas.
