Customer Rating:      Summary: where's my CASHBACK????? Comment: Purchased camera for pressie - recipient very happy BUT
NO CASHBACK AS PROMISED ?????????????
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent beginners DSLR. Comment: I bought this two months ago after reviewing cameras for at least six month.
With 10.1 mp,easy to use functions,lightweight, easy to grip, I believe i made the right choice. This is my first DSLR and glad i purchased the Canon. The camera kit comes with the supplied lens which isn't top quality. Well worth buying a 50mm lens for every day use.( keep the supplied lens as a spare).
I bought the canon 50mm 1.8 mark 11 lens.
The software that is supplied with the camera is easy to install on your computer. The software allows you to store pics and edit, prior to printing them out.
This camera is been replaced by the 1000d( although not confirmed by canon), but if your a beginner like me, then it isn't worth the extra cost. Reviews recently put the Sony alpha 200 ahead of the Canon 400, mainly due to inbuilt image stabilisation and liveview functions.
The choice is yours, but the Canon has more lens etc to choose from. The Sony has limited number of lenses to buy......
Ive love this camera and have become addicted to photography already....
Customer Rating:      Summary: Digital SLR Heaven! Comment: I have had this Camera for a couple of weeks now and with in the first day of having it fell in love with it. It was needed to go on holiday with and its first main uses was in New York, this was a great way to test the camera out. i was so impressed by the whole package and the way the camera works. the best part of the kit was getting a tele photo lense. the best part is that you don't need a tri-pod to use the tele-photo. the 10.1 MP work perfectly. This camera makes you think why do you need the higher end priced camera if you get this sort of quality camera in the Mid range priced Digital SLR. i would reconmend this camera to everyone!!! BUY THE CANON EOS 400D!!!! i would buy soon as the starting to be not made any more. the 500D is taking over! but buy the 400D as it will be a huge amount cheaper!!! and a better camera!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Top middle range camera Comment: This is a great camera if you are just starting out in the SLR digital world or are looking to refine your skills a little more.
The image quality is very good (For work I shoot with a Canon 1Ds) and it requires a little bit of knowledge to get the best from it. I have some great shots with this camera.
Well worth the money and certainly great of you want a major step up from a fully auto compact.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Composing photo's with the rear screen Comment: The Canon 400D is a great camera but what a dissapointment to find the rear screen could not be used to compose the photo. I thought all digital cameras gave you this facility.
Would not have purchased this one if I had knowe

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
