Innovative Feature - EOS Integrated Cleaning System

An interesting, unique feature is the dust prevention and cleaning system which works to keep the EOS 400D's sensor in prime condition. This is Canon's first digital SLR to actively stop dust getting into the body of the camera in this way. The combination of technologies at work resists and removes specks of dust which have the potential to ruin any shot. This self cleaning sensor rattles dust from the sensor with every power switch on.

The EOS Range

Canon, the world leader in digital imaging, has long corned the market in mid-priced digital SLRs and the 10.1 megapixel 400D launched in 2007 is its latest success. It launched the 6.3megapixel EOS 300D in 2003 and the 8.0mp 350D in 2005. The EOS 400D, like its predecessors looks set to be a resounding success. Some owners still also think the EOS 350D has many unbeatable qualities. You can also check out reviews at Review Centre of this highly rated product.
