Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi

Product Features:The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi is a great entry-level DSLR, with a light, compact body featuring 10.1 Megapixels, a 2.5in screen, and several means to combat the problem of dust, albeit not always with 100% success. The images are highly detailed with low noise at high sensitivities and the overall handling is quick and responsive; there’s also a 9-point AF system taken from the higher-end EOS 30D. Canon’s EF-S 18-55mm kit lens lets it down a little though, so consider upgrading the optics to get the best from the body. Ultimately it’s still one of the best overall budget DSLRs which also benefits from heavy discounting, but compare closely with rivalsPros: Low noise, detailed images; anti-dust options; great value. Cons: Anti-dust systems not 100% infallible; kit lens lets it down. Overall: The 400D / XTi is one of the best budget DSLRs around.The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi digital SLR is the successor to the best-selling EOS 350D / Rebel XT. Announced in August 2006, it combines a number of anticipated improvements along with a few genuine surprises. Most people won’t be surprised to learn the 400D / XTi now features a larger 2.5in screen and Canon’s Picture Styles, but following the earlier EOS 30D, many equally expected the new entry-level body to employ the same sensor as its predecessor. But instead of re-using the 350D / XT’s 8 Megapixel sensor, Canon’s developed a brand new 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor for the 400D / XTi. This makes it Canon’s highest resolution digital SLR with an EF-S lens mount to date. In addition the EOS 400D / Rebel XTi is the first Canon digital SLR to feature a self-cleaning sensor which shakes off dust particles. Reference frames can also be tagged to images for automatic removal of more stubborn dust particles later using supplied software.
