Canon EOS 400D Reviews

The Canon 400D is considered in professional terms to be obsolete nowadays with the introduction of such high-end DSLR such as the Canon 5D and its 24MP rival from Nikon. This doesn't mean this camera can't take quality images but rather it has been scratched because of the new commercial standards raised from the releasing of new 20MP-plus ...  Read the complete review

My husband bought me this camera about a year ago. I have been realy pleased with it. I love photography and now I live on Orkney have loads of great things to photograph. It has taken me quite a while understanding the settings but I found if you start with the basic settings you can use it like a point and shoot camera. However to get the best ...  Read the complete review

My interest in photography started a few years ago, and I decided to invest in an SLR to further my ability! I wanted something that would be simple enough to learn from, but advanced enough to have good features - and this camera is exactly that. I bought a bundle from Jessops, which included the camera body, 18-55mm lens and a camera bag, which ...  Read the complete review

As a first time DSLR, the Canon EOS 400D is perfect to satisfy an interest for photography or to just capture moments beautifully. General point and shoot photography is easy with the auto setting which saves on hours of reading the tricky manual and still produces good results. Personally I use the automatic programme setting (P) so I can change ...  Read the complete review

My husband brought me this for Christmas and it is the first real camera that I have had. It is so real that it scares me a bit, because there are so many bits and pieces that I know nothing about, but I have brought a book on photography and I am trying to learn. It really is a beautiful camera with lots of capabiltiy, although you ...  Read the complete review

I was brought this camera about two years ago now by my partner. It has 10 megapixels and an in-built sensor cleaning along with all the other things youd would expect from a professional camera. I have used other Canon slr's and have never been dissapointed. I find they are easy to use always come with great offers and give great ...  Read the complete review

As a graphic and web designer I was meaning to buy a decent camera for years. I needed something professional to support my visuals - for taking shots of urban macro textures, printed still life work, fashion models, abstract landscapes and low light photography. I asked around various professional photographers, read a lot of DSLR ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera as a kit with the standard 18-55mm lens just over a year ago, having dithered for quite a while over whether to upgrade my point & shoot compact, or jump in to the big scary world of DSLRs. There are a ton of very technical analyses of this camera's abilities out there (just check dpreview or any similar site if that's ...  Read the complete review

My interest in phography started when my children were born. Like many parents I wanted to record those important moments of childhood for all time. At first a basic point and shoot was sufficient but I quickly found I wanted to be able to obtain better results. A few years ago we went on holiday to the States. I wanted a camera that would ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera about 2 years ago. It has been fantastic. It is a good price for an amateur, or entry level digital SLR camera. The camera body is easy to hold and not too heavy which is important if you do not intend to work with a tripod much. I have used the camera to take many portrait pictures, and also landscapes, and close up ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera in October 2007. After almost 2 years of use I would definitely recommend it. It's an excellent entry into the world of the SLR. I had previously owned a few digital cameras, but after using a friend's DSLR I decided that I would like to take my photography step further. I did a lot of research, and eventually ...  Read the complete review

Before embarking on a Photography Course at University I needed to invest in a Digital SLR. Being used to Canon cameras I opted for the Canon 400D, it was also the cheapest I could find on a £500 budget. A photographer friend of mine suggested that I spend more money on a camera then or I would regret it later, and to tell you the truth, ...  Read the complete review

I've owned this camera for nearly a year now and I would thoroughly recommend it to any first-time SLR buyer. I've owned and worked with a number of Canon's in the past few years and their build-quality and user-friendly setups encouraged me to splash out on the 400D. This one is no exception to the rule as the camera feels tight and ...  Read the complete review

I've had this camera for the last 18months. It is my first digital SLR and I am hugely impressed with it. Being someone who's never used a digital SLR before it has plenty of automatic settings that can be used for the point and shoot user as well as plenty of features for the semi proffessional or more advanced photographer once you've learned to ...  Read the complete review

We bought this camera for our honeymoon to Kenya last year as we wanted a 'proper' camera for getting good photos on safari. After a lot of research, we decided this was the best we could get for our budget. I t has been a great camera, and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of branching out from a regular digital camera. It is ...  Read the complete review

I've had this camera since February 2008 and love it. I was looking an easy to use Digital SLR that would also allow me to take professional photographs should I wish to take my interest in photography further. This camera does just that. It takes good quality photos whilst being easy to use. I'm planning on taking a digital photography course in ...  Read the complete review

I brought my Canon EOS 400D over a year ago and cannot fault it. Having a keen interest in photography and having learnt on a manual SLR this camera is an ideal introduction to the digital SLRs. Initially I found all the buttons and large screen confusing (as a digital novice) however after a play around it is easy to use. I have read that it will ...  Read the complete review

Having had a Canon EOS 350D, when the 400D was launched I was so confident of the brand that it was a forgone conclusion that I would buy one. The build quality is the first positive point. It is such a solid camera, not that you would bash it on purpose, but it'll certainly take a few knocks without any problems. The 18-55mm kit lens ...  Read the complete review

I got the Canon XTi EOS Digital Rebel 400d for Christmas in 2007 and I have to say I'm in love with this digital SLR camera. This is my first digital SLR and it's absolutely amazing. The features are amazing and it's so easy to use. I've never touched a SLR camera before I got this one, and I found it so easy to use. I knew how to work everything ...  Read the complete review

I'd had this camera on my wish list for a while, and my husband surprised me with it two Christmases ago. It came with the standard lens which was fine to use while I got used to the camera's features. I've since upgraded to the EFS 17-85mm lens which is much better. The camera is quite chunky which worried me a bit at first for taking on ...  Read the complete review
