Good Points

Well priced plus fairly easy to use, has a large range of lenses readily available. it feels solid and well made without being too heavy and bulky.


Bad Points

Its slower and its pictures are not as good as Canons older Eos 350d


General Comments

I bought this Canon EOS 400D camera intending to upgrade from trusty my Eos350d because it sports a much larger screen for reviewing my photos plus an extra 2 megapixals.
I was soon disappointed when I found its shutter delay was nearly half a second which was a lot slower than the 350d's plus while the pics were good they looked poorer when compared to the 350d.
So in all fairness I would say that this camera compares well with other slr cameras from the likes of Sony Samsung & Panasonic in the same price bracket though Canon gave themselves a hard act to follow with their own Eos 350d being such a great camera.
I have now kept the 350d and sold the 400d
