Canon EOS 400D-Review
The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi digital SLR is theHTML clipboard digital camerasuccessor
to the best-selling EOS 350D / Rebel XT. This camera follows the design
of the EOS 350D, being very compact and relatively lightweight but not
compromising on manual controls or in-use performance. It is packed
with many new features that makes this an ideal camera for both the
novice photographer and the experienced professional.
The headlines features for the EOS 400D are its ten megapixel sensor, nine-point AF sensor (from the EOS 30D) and new EOS Integrated Cleaning System. This digital camera has a 10 million pixel sensor, and the shutter speeds for this canon digital camera are 30 seconds to 1/4000 seconds in addition to the Bulb mode. The lens that is used is that of a Canon EF/EF-S lens.
Utilizing the same 9-point autofocus system as the 30D, the Digital Rebel XTi is capable of analyzing where a subject is -- even when it is off center – and almost immediately bringing it into focus. It can also analyze subject movement and automatically select locking or tracking AF modes as needed. These features simplify the camera’s operation and optimize its performance. The Digital Rebel XTi allows users to select locking or tracking AF modes independently, adding a new dimension of creative control. The DIGIC II chip increases the speed of autofocus calculation and hence the responsiveness of the autofocus itself.
Canon EOS 400D has larger 2.5" LCD monitor that has a 160o viewing angle both horizontally and vertically. You can also easily find the camera settings and adjustment on the LCD monitor. There is also an image magnification which is available in record review. Its histogram is available as either RGB or Brightness. RGB is the red, green and blue colors while brightness is the luminance. According to digital camera ratings, this unit shows more vibrant and alive colors.
The Digital Rebel XTi's 12 exposure modes are easily selected by a turn of the top-mounted Mode dial. These exposure modes cover virtually all the shooting conditions you'll ever encounter and are: Full Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, Flash Off, Program AE, Shutter speed-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Manual and Auto Depth-of-Field AE. The camera's ISO sensitivity range is 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600, The Auto ISO setting includes ISO 400 in order to help improve image quality, reduce camera shake and brighten the scene behind the subject when taking a flash photo.
The Canon Digital Rebel XTi is an excellent take-anywhere all-purpose digital SLR, that can serve as a second camera for owners of Rebel XT, 20D, 30D, and 5D cameras who want to keep a second body with a different focal length strapped around their neck. I think serious photographers would do better with an EOS 30D for its stronger build and greater manual adaptability, but for just about everyone else, the Rebel XTi offers everything you need and more.
