Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi

(2/10/07)
Summary: Canon changed the entire digital camera market when they revealed the EOS 300D. Launched in a huge way, they clearly expected it to be a big success. The ripples of that day forced prices lower and removed an entire category of camera (the 'prosumer' all-in-one compact). Canon put digital SLRs into the hands of people who would otherwise... Read the full review
Pros: ; Unique JUMP mode in playback (by date, 10 or 100 images); Value for money; On-screen setting adjustment (ISO, WB, etc.) surprisingly quick and easy to use; Numerous small bug fixes improve usability; 'Integrated Cleaning System' designed to keep dust at bay; Good dynamic range (more than peers) with soft roll-off of highlights;
Cons: ; No mass storage device USB driver, poor WIA transfer rates (and awkward to use); ISO, WB, Metering mode etc. not displayed on viewfinder status bar during change; No Kelvin white balance selection in-camera; Sporadic continuous shooting once buffer is full; Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent

Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The EOS 350D gets more than just a make over with the introduction of its replacement, ease of use at the core and good image quality combine with a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and a new anti dust system that make this a cracking bit of kit
Pros: ; Handling, image quality, ease of use, price, dust removal system/prevention, AF, great colour performance
Cons: ; Disappointing kit lens performance, no spot-metering mode, small viewfinder

Summary: With the EOS 400D, Canon deliver an excellent digital SLR camera.
